After Care for Sewn-in-Weft Hair Extensions:

Here is a quick, brief explanation including tips and recommend products to keep those luscious locks of yours in the best condition! 

I highly recommend using the Beauty Works products. Their top quality and allow your hair to stay in the best condition! 

Beauty Works Shampoo - Helps maintain healthy hair extensions with the Beauty Works Pearl Nourishing Argan Oil Shampoo, which will leave hair feeling revitalised, full of body and shine.

Beauty Works Conditioner - After shampooing, finish with the Beauty Works Pearl Nourishing Argan Oil Conditioner which has been expertly formulated to nourish, repair and de-tangle all hair types.

Beauty Works Oil - Helps to protect your hair and hair extensions with the Beauty Works Argan serum. Make sure you use it daily to maintain healthy hair and hair extensions. I like to use it on my hair in the morning when I wake up and in the evening just before I go to sleep.

£11.99 each

If you don’t want to pay out for the beauty works range, then there are many other alternatives. However i do recommend using shampoo and conditioner without the ingredient ‘protein’. Argan Oil hair products are also a very good alternative, which I would highly recommend browsing TkMaxx for, as they usually have a wide range of their products for pretty much half the price! 

I also recommend using a heat spray when using heat on your hair. I personally like to use GHD’s to avoid my hair from getting damaged and dry.

Make sure you use a tangle teezer hairbrush, as this will allow easy combing to your hair, whilst preventing damage to your hair.When brushing hold the track firmly with your palm then brush from ends up.

Depending on the quality of your hair extensions wash as least a possible, If top quality then aim to wash once a week.Try not to pull your weave back into a pony tail too much or too tightly.Tie in a loose plait or pony before heading of to sleep to avoid tangling.

Only one tightening is recommended as it is kinder to your hair, which should be done 3-5 weeks after having your hair fitted. Avoid rubbing the hair in a rough motion.When towel drying hair is a downwards motion. Leave your hair to dry naturally, as it will give you the best results, as heat will allow your extensions to dry out. Also ensure you use your oil leaving it in your hair when wet.

My everyday essentials..

This Michael Kors tote bag is the love of my life, if you follow me on any social networking you will know that I was very lucky to receive this bag for my 18th birthday from my mum and dad. I went for the black one due to it being able to go with everything and never going out of fashion! Also the size is just perfect for me, considering I constantly have loads of folders and my laptop for college with me. 

Moving away from my beautiful bag, here is what I carry around in it, nothing too exciting unfortunately…

Iphone 5c - I take this everywhere with me, it doesn’t leave my sight! 

River Island purse - This pretty much has my life in it, the home to all my cards and cash (not that i ever have any money)

Keys - My keys to my car, which have a huge pom pom on them because I am forever losing them in my bag 

Makeup - My two everyday go to makeup brushes from the Real Techniques collection as they help to create such a flawless base. My favourite nude lippy at the moment by Soap and Glory, which I like to pair with this Rimmel cappuccino colour lip liner. Also my favourite mascara by Estee Lauder, which never fails to lets me down,  to create those hollywood lashes.

Deodorant - Comes in handy after a good workout at the gym

Paracetamol - just incase of an emergency, you never know when your going to get a headache or something

Ipad - When I haven't got my laptop with me, I like to take my iPad with me, especially to college so I cant write notes up on it quickly

Victoria Secret body mist - This Victoria secret body mist is in the gorgeous scent peach, which I just absolutely adore! 

Tangle Teezer - This tangle teezer goes everywhere with me, as I hate knotty hair! 

Spectacles -  Just because I'm always working on essays or browsing through social network and online shops

Jack Wills Berry Lip Balm - This Jack Wills lip balm helps to nurse my lips back in to shape, especially in the winter! 

Soap and Glory in Super Nude Lipstick Review

Soap and Glory In 'Super Nude' Lipstick Review

Nude lipsticks have been a must in every girls makeup bag this autumn/winter! I'm a huge lover for mac lipsticks but when I came across this Soap and Glory lipstick in ‘super nude’ I  just fell in love with it immediately! Unlike most matte lipsticks it glides on, leaving your lips smooth and moisturised without drying them out! It’s lightweight weight on but the pigment is superb and you don’t have to keep re-applying it like most lipsticks! The colour is a lovely warmth nude shade, which I like to apply with no7 nude lip liner just to define it that little bit extra. Also the fact that it is only £9 for such an amazing lipstick is why I love it so much too! Totally recommend it!

Callum's Story. Brain Tumour Awareness.

Cancer is a malevolent illness which many people avoid speaking about. Everyone goes through a tough stage in life at one point even if it’s a break up or a loss, everyone goes through some sort of heart ache in their lives. Brain Tumours is a cancerous tumour which is rarely spoken about compared to others, and therefore should get more recognition and awareness. Brain Tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40. 

Callum Story

My brother is one of the most bravest person that I have ever met. In 2002 at just four years old my little brother Callum was miss diagnosed with a Brain Tumour, after the GP insisted that he was fine and that my mum was a ‘neurotic’ mother. Unlink most four year old children playing out getting messy with not a care in the world, Callum was stuck in a hospital bed in serious, life threatening conditions, which there was huge chance that he wouldn't survive. Since then Callum has had a number of major cancer treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, where he lost his hair and ended up in intensive care.

My brother was the youngest of five at the time, who was a very boisterous but a bright individual, until he started falling over himself, having continues headaches and vomiting. My mum knew that something wasn’t right even after being told by the GP that their was nothing wrong with him, so my mum and dad decided to go private. After going private, he had an MRI scan which the results were not what me and the rest of the family had wished for. He was then referred to the Queens Medical centre, where he had his operation which lasted up to ten hours, and then taken straight in to intensive care straight afterwards. Due to the brain surgery that he had the consultants were not sure if he would be able to speak again, but once he came out of theatre he said ‘I want my mummy’ but then it went again. Seeing my little brother hooked up to wires and looking fragile was one of the worst things that me and my family have had to experience.

The chemotherapy lead him to skin and bone, loss of hair and unable to talk and walk. Callum is 17 now but has been seriously damaged, leaving him with heart and growth conditions, dyspraxia and also unable for him to read and write. These are just a short list of the long term effects surgery has caused but we are all more thankful then ever to still have our solider here with us today, despite all his problems.
