Best Products for Short (Thick) Hair

I've got short (shaved sides, long on top), thick, heavy hair and have been testing loads of products for about 3 years. Now I have finally figured out which products work best and last! Naturally, my hair is wavy/curly (depends on how I dry it).

1. Bumble and bumble - Hairdresser's Invisible Oil

This is a heat protectant, softening serum that's perfect for when you have ashy, white or silver hair and can't use Moroccan oil because of the brassiness. It makes your hair super soft and prevents little frizzies.

2. Redken - Powder Grip 03

This has changed my hair life. It's a powder that adds loads of volume and makes heavy, thick hair stay up! You can also use it go give your hair more life and absorb oil if you can't wash it. Powder a good amount into your hair while its at the end of being dry and make your hair messy, backcombed staying up or just more "volumized" (is that a word? I don't know.) 

3. Joico - Power Spray

Best hairspray ever! I have a mini bottle and it's all I need! Really keeps your hair in place and the most you put on, the harder your hair gets, but you can't really even tell and you can still brush through it gently. Smells like bubblegum too, so that's a bonus!

4. PROLISS - Hair dryer

Really great. 

5. Herbal Essences - Set Me Up Gel

Really great to always have gel just in case, and thankfully, I have this from my aunt and uncle when they came over! When my hair is dry, I massage a small dab of it in my hands, spread it through where I need it and blow dry it.

DIY Christmas Jar Lamp Tutorial!!!!

I said that I would put up a tutorial for the Christmas jars… A bit late but here it is ;)

* = optional/if necessary

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Get all your material!!!!

• fake snow (dollar store)
• coarse glitter (Michael's)
• fine glitter (Michael's)
• glue gun
• light up Christmas mini lamp (Dollarama//you're lucky if they have any left//batteries maybe)
• mason jar (Home Hardware or Save-On Foods). 

*2. Put in the batteries to see if the lamp works because some of them are really cheap and don't work.

*3. I'm not a big fan of the wreath because I like it to be more winter themed than Christmas. So when I took off the wreath there was a bit of white glue left, so you can just cover that up with black nail polish.

4. You're gonna get the mason jar and unscrew everything and get the lamp.

5. Place the lamp in the middle of the flat part of the lid that comes off (no sh*t, me. wow.) and mark where it has to be if you want to.

6. Get the glue gun all warmed up and test it a bit.

7. Put glue around the base of the lamp. Don't put it under the base and then stick the lamp on top of it because then you can make it uneven and too high for fitting in the jar.

8. Now get the fake snow and pour it into the other unused mason jar. I keep my fake snow in another mason jar because I mix a bit of glitter with it before and it looks nicer/takes up less space than a stupid plastic bag.

Fill it up 'till about here:

9. Put the glitter in the jar and shake the jar (closed obviously) to really get a good mix. I don't think that you can ever put too much glitter in these because more glitter = cooler effect.

10. PUT THE GLUED LAMP BOTTOM PART UPSIDE DOWN INTO THE JAR AND THEN SCREW IT ON.

And roll it around… 

And stare at it…

And turn it on… 

Now turn off the lights…

Now feel proud! 

YAY!!!!! YOU DID SOMETHING!!!!!

Another Short Film That I Made Today

This one really doesn't make any sense and it's just a lot of random things. Nikon D3200.

So I made kind of a short film while I was in Hawaii. First time really experimenting with the whole filming and editing stages. Constructive criticism is welcome!
