I recently received Dr. Miracle’s new Curl Care line in the mail for review. I opened the box and thought — these are adorable, and they’re never going to work.

I haven’t had good luck with curly girl products. In general, my hair does what it wants. The only product I’ve ever had anything really good to say about is Got2B Kinky, which I love, but which makes me a bit crunchier than I prefer.

But I digress.

There were six adorable bright pink bottles. I have now tried them all out. And here is my review:

Overall, these are fantastic. They’re paraben, phthalate, and sulfate free, and they have all sorts of deliciously nourishing all-natural ingredients, like coconut and jojoba. I am way into this. Also, wow, these smell great. They’re like watermelon bubbleyum making love to a freshly bathed peppermint patty. Read More »

Who doesn’t love big, curly hair? I know we do down here in the South, and there’s never a day that goes by when I don’t see a girl with hot rollers in her hair at my sorority house. Big curls are a big deal and yet so simple! I get a lot of complaints from friends about not knowing how to use a curling iron or styling wand, and hot rollers are the perfect solution to the hair apparatus challenged. Not to mention, they’re a gigantic time saver and leave you with voluptuous hair. They may not look sexy while they’re in, but they sure do make you look like a bombshell when you take em out.

Not sure where to start? I’ve got you covered, so watch below!

We got a request for casual updos. And, um, I gotta be honest — there is a dearth of pictures of them on the internet. The truth is, curls are so darn gorgeous that, most of the time, no one can even imagine putting them up. But if you need to have them up for work (or play!), here are some super sexy ideas. I’ll even tell you how to do ‘em!!

Check the gallery below and see what styles you like best. Is there anything I missed? Read More »

For years, I wanted bangs. I longed for them. I coveted them. I desired them. But the answer from my hairstylist was always the same: NO. So in 2008, I cut them myself. Years later, I have a love-hate relationship with them. I keep cutting ‘em, growing ‘em in, and cutting them again. But I want to tell you this: curly-head bangs can be HOT.

This week, I’ve gathered photos from across the web to show you how it can be done. Whether you want curly bangs, bangs you have to straighten (which we’re so not used to, since our curls are so naturally gorge!!), or you’re ready to grow them out, here’s the how-to! Read More »

How many times have you seen a magazine claiming to have “curly hairstyles” inside, only to open it up and find out what they really show are hairstyles for people with straight hair who want to get that curly look. There’s nothing for girls with naturally curly hair who want to flaunt their tresses au naturale. Don’t fret! Curlies, there are so many cute things you can do!!

In this new weekly column, I will search high and low on the internet for the cutest looks, tools and products…and I’ll give you info on how you can DIY at home. Also, if you ever have any issues you want me to tackle in a future post, vent your frustrations in the comments section below!

A pill that can do that? Sign us up!

Last week we found out about a pill made of alcohol. Our excitement over the potential to skip the calories and the burning sensation in the back of our throats were almost too much to bear. We thought, “This is the best thing to ever happen to us college girls.” Which was true.

Until now.

It seems like geniuses everywhere are coming out of the woodwork and shoving all sorts of awesome into teeny, tiny pills. The newest venture we are freaking out over?

A pill that can take your hair from straight to curly (or vice-versa!).

That’s right; scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research have found out that the trichohyalin gene is responsible for creating curls. Now that they know this, treatments can be developed to make hair curlier or straighter, and the scientists are in talks with a major cosmetic company in Paris to bring them to the masses.

Every girl has a love/hate relationship with her hair.  If her hair is straight, she wishes it were curly.  If her hair is curly, she wishes it were straight.  Frizz is constantly on the attack and there are never enough bobby pins.  Yet, our hair can either make or break a look, so we spend hours planning, executing, and perfecting our style.  In my case, that usually ends in sweat, blood, tears and an even frizzier mess than I started with.

After yet another such ordeal this past weekend, I came up with a brilliant idea – shaving my head.  It’s perfect.  There are literally hundreds of reasons why I should (and a couple why I shouldn’t, but I say my boyfriend can take a chill pill and worry about his own hair).  Here are just a few of the wonderful benefits of shaving your head:

Fabulous Hat Opportunities -  I have come to adore hats.  Never before I have I seen so many fabulous hats just wandering the streets.  We have fedoras, cloches, berets, slouchy knits, and even pork-pie hats.  They are the perfect accessory and also do a wonderful job of keeping your head warm…which is only useful if you have no hair.  Plus, if you shave your head, you don’t have to worry about an awkward hat hair situation when you remove said fabulousness.

Wig Potential – Kind of like a hat made out of hair, the wig is an awesome way to accessorize yourself.  Just grab and go!  Make sure to go the natural hair route, unless you’re specifically going for that cheap-anonymous-bachelor-party-stripper look.  Which, since Samantha Jones rocked it in Sex and the City, I fully condone.

Have you ever tried curling your hair only to end up with tight, Shirley Temple style curls? Or, worse, attempted to use a curling iron and ended up with blistered fingers and straight, fried hair? Well then I’m here to help!

Contrary to popular belief, it’s not hard to achieve soft curls or waves. And you don’t have to be a professional to do it. The key is playing with your hair a bit to loosen up the curls so you look more “beachy wave” and less “so stiff it doesn’t move.”

Just follow me through the steps and in under 7 minutes you will have the perfect curls for day or night. Happy curling!
