Rusk MiraCurl Review and Demo


Rusk MiraCurl
Claims: "Effortlessly creates perfect curls everytime... Has a ceramic curl chamber which eliminates frizz while leaving hair full of body, volume and luster."
RRP: AUD199
Packaging/Design: 4.5 out of 5
Review: This curler is very quick and easy to use. It takes me only 15 minutes to curl all my hair (I usually take half an hour with a regular curling iron). It's also very easy to learn how to use it and get the hang of it. The only reason I gave it a 4.5 out of 5 for package/design is because it's a bit heavy. Otherwise, it's an excellent hair styling tool. I give a more in-depth review and demo of the product in the video below. Note: I believe this product is called Curl Freak in the USA.









What do you guys think? Game to try this method of curling your hair?

Gurls with (Fake) Curls!

Image source: becomegorgeous.com

My hair is naturally straight. Just like many of you who defy the laws of nature, straightening your curly hair, I permed my straight hair. In my last post, I talked about curly hair updos. I thought of those who have straight hair. I mean, what about you ladies who don't want to fork out a lot to get curly hair that lasts only a few months? What if you like to have curly hair sometimes and straight hair other times? Well, you're in luck because there are diverse ways of getting those locks of yours curly!

Got a curling iron? Try:
Krista's Romantic Curls
Jessica Harlow's Hair Curling Tutorial

Got a hair straightener? Try:
Jessica Harlow's How to Curl Hair with a Flat Iron
maikmoua's How to Curl Hair with a Straightener

Want to do it the "natural way"? Try:
Krista's Heatless Curls
Evenlinicutza's Heatless Curls/DIY Hair Rollers

Take your pick. All of the tutorials listed in here are my favourites. I hope you like them as much as I do!

I would also like to give a special mention to Evenlinicutza. I think that this beauty trick is very clever and I want to share it with everyone! This is really great if you can't afford false eyelashes but want to achieve a similar effect.

Enjoy!

Curly Hair Updos

So I ran dry on inspiration recently. That's why I haven't posted in a few days. Plus, I've been busy helping mum prepare food for a big lunch that we hosted. Anyway, I was meant to be studying when I suddenly felt like playing with my hair for a bit. I wanted to try out a couple of updos for curly hair. Yes, I permed my hair again recently. Here's a photo of what my hair looked like on the day of the perm. I apologise for the quality of the photo because it was taken from my phone.


It's been a couple of weeks since the perm and my hair looks different again. I will take another photo with my camera once the giant pimple on my chin is gone. The following are links to tutorials of three favourite updos of mine. They are the type that don't ruin permed hair. Or at least I think so.

Remember Rihanna's 80s Curly Updo? Well you can achieve this hairstyle by watching this tutorial.

Going for a romantic dinner with your significant other this Valentines Day? Why not try LuxyHair's gorgeous side updo for size?

If you have shorter but curly hair and want to style it up for an occasion or just a day out with your girlfriends, try TBD's Short Hair Chignon.

Enjoy!
