New Year, New Gear!

I'm on YouTube

Hey curl friends! It's already 9 days into 2019, and we have soooo much to talk about. I got new (and old) experiences to share as well as new hair gear! I copped a curl wand, and I was too excited opening it in the video above haha. More on the curl wand later, but first...here's some fresh perspective from 2018:

In January 2018, I posted 6 hair resolutions for 2018. I tried to really consider these all year. Resolution #4 said to Be bold, try something new. I must say, this resolution was fun to keep. Here's a bold look that I tried in 2018:

I had rainbow curls thanks to Crown Paint Colors. This temporary hair dye allowed me to live in bold color, and I really played with the look. I also tried to develop and keep good habits (like resolution #6 from 2018). So I made it a habit to deep condition often:

Regular deep conditioning has really had positive results on my hair. It has inspired much growth, allowed me to retain length and better handling when I detangle, and keeps the hair in a healthy state when heat is added. So, about this curl wand...

This was my first time using a curl wand. It reminded me of a curling iron, but a level up. I definitely needed a second to get the hang of wanding. But after washing, deep conditioning and a blow dry, it was time to practice. The pink ceramic barrel gets very hot, so do be careful on the finger tips. I am happy with the loose-wave curls that it produced, and I look forward to practicing in the future.

Me and my loose waves are so pumped for 2019 as this awesome journey continues. What fresh perspective did you get from 2018? What '19 resolutions are you excited to keep? Tell me more and thanks for reading! Love, S
