Pin Curls- The Most Easy Way to Do Them!

Old Hollywood glamour always seems to come back into vogue. Maybe it’s Tinseltown’s former dramatic essence, the glitzy flair or subtle yet oozing sex appeal. Regardless of what made it so alluring one thing is for sure… the style of retro Hollywood is still just as captivating today! From fashion to hair, vintage looks such as pin curls can still turn a head or two.

Recreating a old Hollywood hairstyle like pin curls from back in the day does not need to be a stressful hair dilemma. Actually pin curls are quite simple! Moreover, they can be created even without the use of heat making it an awesome styling option that won’t cause damage to strands. Big tip: be sure to add Obsessed Hair Oil to your pin curls for a sleek, sexy look!

Another benefit is that not many hair tools are needed in order to make pin curls either. All you really need is a good set of hair or bobby pins. You will use those to secure selected strands during the design process. So then, want to know how to pin curl your own hair? Check out the video!

Mineral Oil and Petroleum, Bad for Black Hair

 

Growing up you may have been told to oil your hair in order for it to be healthy. It is true that black hair tends to be on the dry side so it needs moisture. However, there are some products that you shouldn’t be using if you don’t want to damage your hair.

Mineral oil and petroleum is probably some of worst forms of hair dressings that you could ever apply to your tresses.

Most think hey, well its oil; but these actually add little or no moisture at all. In reality mineral oils clog pores and leave a nasty buildup on the hair and scalp which is not good when it comes to hair growth. This is why it’s so important to read a product’s list of ingredients. If you notice that wax, mineral oil or petrolatum is an ingredient it is best to put the product back on the rack and make another choice.

So what exactly does your hair need most to stay moisturized? Well, when you are thirsty do you reach for a glass of oil or a glass of water? Hopefully, you said the latter because water is moisture, oils are not. Therefore, you need to use products that utilize humectants.

Humectants are ingredients that attract and bind water to themselves and can even accomplish this right out of the air from the natural humidity. Look for products that contain such ingredients as glycerin or glycerol, urea, NaPCA, chitosan, propylene glycol, hydrolyzed silk, Acetamide MEA, sorbitol, panthenol and shea butter.

The best thing you can reach for is pure organic oil. It is the healthiest thing you can do for your scalp, hair roots and tips. I personally use Obsessed Hair Oil and I love it because it leaves your hair shiny and hydrated. It is great for your scalp too.

How to Trim Your Bangs

Beauty Tip-Save yourself some muhla and trim your bangs yourself.

After you wash and blow dry your hair, flat iron your hair till smooth. Gather bangs and twist hair several times, but not too tightly otherwise you may trim tresses too short. Next, depending on how long you want your bangs, trim hair either above or below your fingers holding the twist. Remember it is best to start longer, because you can always re-twist and re-cut in order to make bangs shorter.
