Clean That Gunk

I use various products when I'm flat ironing my hair.After awhile I start to see a build up that does not look pretty. I didn't think it was a big deal, but after awhile it got so bad there needs to be something done about it. Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide seem to be the go to thing to fix any beauty related problem. Well, there is nothing different here. Mix those together and apply the paste onto your iron. Work it in and watch it harden and your gunk fall right off. It an easy fix instead of going out and buying a whole knew straightener!

Need Protein In Your Life?

When I went to the salon the other week my hair was in dire need of some protein. My stylist suggested I buy this protein product. You apply this all over your head after every other shower. I'm working on nursing my hair back to health and this stuff is really helping! Now I get my protein fix without having to pay for a protein treatment once a week. It really has been a life saver and a great bargain! The best routine is to apply this every other day after showering and the days you don't apply this apply a leave in conditioner or split end protector. There is never a need to put both in at the same time!

Temporarly Color Your Hair

These are easy at home temporary hair colors. There are select colors and you can get them at your local beauty salon. They are colored powder and you just apply to your hair. You can try the Ombre look, color a whole strand of hair or give just the tips some color. They come out after your first or second wash. Than you can switch it up and try a different color all the time! A little trick I've learned is that if you apply heat, like straightening your hair it holds the color longer. It's fun for any ages of girls!

Homemade Gel Nails

This is a great way to get the salon look without having to pay the salon price. I always want to get fake nails, but hate how much damage they do. When I heard about gel nails I really wanted to try them, but yet again I knew they were going to be super expensive. I was in ulta one day when I found a great deal on these home gel nails. You can pick any color of nail polish you want, just make sure to follow the instructions it gives you. It is a three step process. First you put a coat of activator, than your desired color of polish.Repeat this one more time for two solid coats. Make sure to switch brushes with the glaze and polish between each coat. The activator is sticky and could mess up the brush. When your done you will have hard beautiful looking salon nails.

Keeping Up Without The Cost

I can't afford to go to the dentist and get my teeth whitened every time I have a cleaning and those strips I can buy at the drug store can also get expensive. I used to watch my mom do this when I was younger and now I'm following in her footsteps. I mix hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, water and toothpaste. I brush my teeth with this mixture once or twice a week for about 2 minutes each time until I get the results I'm looking for. Once I got where I wanted to be I limited myself to using this mixture Once or twice a month. I have all these things at home so it's super convenient and less worry on the wallet!

Blondes: Sick Of Those Roots?

I'm not a natural blonde and every blonde knows that keeping up with blonde hair can be a hassle. It gets super expensive going into the salon to getting my hair touched, and quite frankly I don't think I'm the only one who can't find the time to go into an appointment every month. I was shopping at my local Walmart and came across this shampoo and conditioner. I use it every other time i shower and I think it works magnificently! My natural brunette goes from a medium brown to blonde over time. I've saved a lot of money by skipping a month or two at the salon. I still go into the salon to get a touch up, but at least now I can prolong my time without those can't miss nasty roots.
