Section the hair into manageable sections, the bigger the brush you use the bigger the section you may take. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Step 6. Using a vent brush blow dry the hair down straight *make sure that the nozzle is facing downwards to make sure the hair cuticle is laying flat, and all in the same direction* another tip is if you can't reach the back parts just bring them to the side and dry them as such. Also don't put the hairdryer nozzle directly onto the hair and brush just hover it over slightly, or else it will damage the hair.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Step 7.

It's natural length as of now is some inches past my collar bone. My natural hair colour is also a level 7, although I started colouring my hair at about 12/13 and I've not had my natural colour since then! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><i>Modified </i></span></div><div><br></div><div>I have my hair in lots & lots of different styles now, straight mainly or curled, braids...all sorts! </div><div>My hair colour now is platinum blonde. It took a while to get it back to this colour as I had it a very dark brown, nearly black colour at the start of 2012. I did this process gradually with foil highlights of bleach and an all over high lift colour. Now, I only have the high lift colour on my roots and sometimes on the ends as they tend to get a little darker. I'm not 100% sure what the colour is as I go to the salon however! I do know that it uses 9% developer and when it develops the colour goes purple. I once heard her say to the assistant 9.12 when asking for the colour to be mixed so I'm guessing the colour number is 12? I also wear 18" extensions on a regular basis to make my hair longer. </div><div><br></div><div><b><u>Care Routine</u></b> </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwBtaw34E25FqmTL0ptjtSP7WffhEo5Qhh4rZhD6L7C_TZ2yTqdgY2QaU_f5i8tWLYUH7heKbot5V6PK8sDOIjCayT0-Ofm4EIXdbJOYeczrO0IWTHk7uqOqLjlyaZqV-sVX92PpieGUM/s640/blogger-image--391047865.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwBtaw34E25FqmTL0ptjtSP7WffhEo5Qhh4rZhD6L7C_TZ2yTqdgY2QaU_f5i8tWLYUH7heKbot5V6PK8sDOIjCayT0-Ofm4EIXdbJOYeczrO0IWTHk7uqOqLjlyaZqV-sVX92PpieGUM/s640/blogger-image--391047865.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Washing: </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>I use salon products on my hair to keep it healthy and not leaving it dry and damaged. </div><div><br></div><div>I really like Wella products as on the bottle they show an intensive rating on how much they repair your hair on a scale of 1-4, one being a little repairing and 4 intensive repair.</div><div><br></div><div>For shampoo I use <i>Wella SP Repair Shampoo </i>which makes my hair really soft even after using the shampoo, it lavers up really quickly and smells nice too!</div><div><br></div><div>Being a blonde a silver shampoo (also called purple shampoo) is a must! It gets rid of any yellow brassy tones in the hair, because purple on the colour chart is opposite to yellow. For this purpose I use the <i>Wella SP Silver Shampoo </i>or the <i>Provoke Touch Silver Shampoo</i> although I don't have a photo of these because I've ran out. Although I don't use this sort of shampoo every wash because it can leave your hair purple after a lot of uses and also can be quite drying!

I am so glad to see the back of Foxy Locks hair extensions! If you've been reading my blog, as you may know I absolutely despise these extensions....</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have finally got some new extensions! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to a local hair supply shop where I live and got these extensions by a company called <i>Sapna</i>, I've never heard of this company before but so far I am loving these extensions! </div>

I brought them <i>without </i>clips, so you just get one long strand of hair. I used the Foxy Locks extensions to measure out the pieces to size before cutting them. Also, the reason I wanted to get them without clips is so that I could double them up (cut a strand twice then sew the two pieces together) so that they were thicker. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I also had to sewn on the clips myself; the clips are actually from my old set of extensions from 2012, I just cut them off. I also used 2 clips from the Foxy Locks set, because I was 2 short. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
With this set I have managed to get the same amount of wefts as in the Foxy Locks set plus, they're doubled up so I have a full set of hair extensions: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2 x 4 clip wefts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2 x 3 clip wefts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2 x 2 clip<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> wefts </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
4 x 1 clip wefts </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Although because they're doubled up I find that I don't <i>need </i>to use both of the 4 clip wefts, but I tend to anyway just to have that fuller look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are also blunt cut at the ends, just like the foxy locks ones! </div>

As blonde girls will know trying to find <i>platinum </i>coloured hair extensions is quite hard. Many extensions are too golden, or too yellow. Not many extensions are actually platinum coloured, meaning that you have to either colour them or use silver shampoo on them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
However, these are different they actually are platinum coloured and are the same colour as the Foxy Locks extensions. </div>

In comparison to the colour of <i>Foxy Locks - Platinum </i>the <i>Sapna - Snow White</i> are practically the same. Although as you can see from the photo the Sapna ones are shiner; this is due to that, I've yet to wash them, so they're still coated in that shiney silicon stuff that all new extensions have. </div>

After having my old extensions for a year, as I mentioned in my last post and never experiencing shedding with extensions before I am very disappointed with these extensions - I can't wait to get new ones after christmas, I will be glad to see the back of these!!! </div>

The other day I was inspired by my hairdresser, who was wearing Individual lashes, to get some myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went into boots and bought the <i>Eylure Individual Lashes</i> in Black, with retail at £5.35</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am trained and qualified to do individual eyelash extensions, from my Level 2 in Hair and Media Makeup - a course that I don't recommend as it doesn't get you anywhere, never the less, I learnt how to professionally apply these. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Eylure Combination pack comes with, the lashes ranging from the shorter sized lashes to the longer sized lashes. It also comes with some glue, <i>Superfix</i>; that is stronger than the original Eylure glue that's used for strip lashes. As well as a glue dissolve to to get the lashes off, <i>Lift off</i>. It also comes with an instruction leaflet - Incase you're not sure how to apply them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To apply these lashes you'll also need some tweezers, to pick up the lashes and place them onto your lash line. The shorter ones are more fiddly to apply than the longer ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may also want to use an orange stick to separate your own lashes and, to make space for the individual lashes to be placed. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Individual lashes are just much more hassle, it took about 30 minutes per eye to apply a full set. Where as with strip lashes you can just apply them and go, less fuss. </div>

I have wanted a deep blue nail polish for a while now but haven't been able to find the right shade, either I find one and it's not the right texture, usually it's kind of shiney/metallic or not the right colour at all.

This is the first ever Bourjoir nail product I've bought, and I like it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has a big brush that is the perfect size for your nail, and so, it only takes one swipe of the brush to apply the product. Also with it being a thick consistency you don't need many coats plus, I find that it dries pretty quickly too! </div>

I kept seeing this online but I thought it was maybe last years or already out of season - but to my surprise I found it on the Essie counter - so I grabbed it straight away! I love this so much that I might even get another one! </div>

I have quite the Essie nail polish collection coming on, I really like their polishes. They're such great quality they're thick consistency so you don't need to apply several coats. Plus they apply easily and, are just so perfect! They may be expensive but I think they're worth the price. </div>

<br />
To be truthfully honest, I wish I'd never purchased them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I've only worn them 3 times since getting them </li>
<li>They were expensive and well I'm not getting my moneys worth at all</li>
<li>They still shed A LOT of hair even though I've just worn them 3 times and not even a full day!</li>
<li>The ends are really thin from the shedding</li>
<li>They look really fake! Especially when straight </li>
<li>They get tangled </li>
<li>I feel really uncomfortable wearing them because I feel like people can tell they're fake</li>
<li>My time with the foxy locks company wasn't pleasant - no customer service -> never email you back</li>
<li>Still waiting months later to hear about my complaint processing</li>
<li>They've been a lot of hassle for nothing</li>
<li>I don't think they're 100% Human hair since human hair is meant to stay together and as you can see in the photo the ends separate like fake hair </li>
<li>I prefer my non-100% human hair extensions to these!!! </li>
