No heat minimal effort curls

What if i told you, you could create curls with SOCKS?? 
I know I know it sounds crazy but it is true. 

Okay first you will need socks, old ones preferably because you are going to cut them up. 
 Cut the sock up in half and half again however this is my preference you can make the sock as small or large as you prefer. Depending on your hair length/ texture you will need to judge how many socks you will need. I normally need about 1 pair of socks because it will create 4 strips of fabric. 

Then you can either wash your hair and leave it to dry till damp around 70% dry, or what i sometimes do is just get a spray bottle and spritz water on my hair to dampen it slightly.

After that you want to section your hair up, again this will slightly differ from person to person with how big/ many sections you do. I normally do about 4-6 sections. Then get one section and twist it away from your head, when the hair is twisted grab the sock fabric and begin to roll the hair with the sock upwards, when you have rolled the hair and sock up together tie the sock together. This will keep the sock in that form. 
Do this to your whole head and maybe twist the hair differently or roll the hair with the sock the other way this will create different textured curls. 
I would recommend doing this on the night and sleeping with the socks in. 
 In the morning just unravel the socks and i would spritz the hair slightly with hairspray to keep the curl in. Finger through the curls and mess it up to create a voluminous curly hairstyle. 

GOOD LUCK !
I didnt include photos of the hair after because my hair will look differently to your hair 
If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask 
Hope you enjoyed

Make-up remover!

Hello everybody!!
This is my first official post and I thought I would start by talking about my new favourite makeup remover....... I know I know makeup remover can be a boring thing to talk about however IT IS IMPORTANT!! My new makeup remover is L'Oreal Paris skin perfection 3 in 1 purifying micellar solution..... And Breathe wow maybe the worlds longest poshest name for a makeup remover but it is bloody fantastic! 
There is three promises that this makeup remover states. 
1. dissolves make-up 
2. Unclogs pores and removes impurities
3. Tones and smooths skin
It also states that it is high performance, Hypo-allergenic, suitable for face eyes and lips. And the best thing it is suitable for sensitive skin, this is a blessing because I wouldn't say i have super sensitive skin however some makeup removers can make my skin slightly red and sore.  
This L'Oreal make-up remover takes makeup off like a DREAM,  I find it actually dissolves make-up and doesn't  just swipe the makeup around the face. 
One disadvantage of this product is that you can get though a bottle quite quickly, i say one bottle lasts about 3 weeks. However it does take EVERYTHING off sooooo you don't have to buy any other make-up remover like eye, or lip makeup remover. 
OVERALL I really love this product and would recommend it to anyone because it ticks every box!http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Paris-Skin-Perfection-3-in-1-Purifying-Micellar-Solution-200ml_1299734/

This product normally retails for about £4.99, however sometimes it is on offer or on 3 for 2 !! 

Thankss
