Bangs too long? Finger Coils!

Do your bangs ever hang down in your face? Constantly feel like you have to push them away? Want to trim your bangs but don't want to lose length? Same here, but I have a solution.

Position your bangs, most likely hanging in front of your face, and move any "too long" pieces out. Unless you're in the mood to do some trimming, you'll just have to keep these pieces out of the way for now. If you have to, sneak in some bobby pins!

Take strands of your bangs and start to finger coil. This is where you pretty much twirl the hair around your finger (index finger preferably) to form a ringlet. When doing this, the hair springs up and turns into a defined curl.

Downfall: this most likely won't match your natural curl pattern.

If you don't notice from almost all of the "Instagram famous" naturalistas, a lot of curly girls sneak in random finger coils all around their head. Why? Random finger coils add depth, and draw attention. So if you're not feeling just your bangs being in finger coils, try taking random strands and finger coil those too.

There you have it, a few trims saved!

Gym Routine in a Corporate World

Since I've entered the "corporate world" it's been pretty hard to stay active. Going from retail to a 9-5 really gets you! I got "fat" and now I'm trying to get back... Ok, I'm not fat. But I definitely gained some more of it! I thought my birth control made me fat, and maybe it added to the weight gain, but I can't blame it all on it. When working retail I was always on my feet, moving around, lifting boxes, etc etc. Now, I sit down 80% of the day so if I'm not getting a workout during work, I need to get up and do something. I used to sit around in the lunchroom, watch TV, but I made a pact with myself (lol) to go to the gym each day on lunch! I wasn't sure if I could pull it off, but I've been consistent since and I plan on continuing! Check out my fitness body composition where I started off before going daily!

Review: Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm

Great colour, matte, but doesn't stay.

Shingling Method on Bangs

Instead of doing my normal wash and go routine, I decided to spice it up by doing a different part in the front and using the shingling method on my bangs. OH MY GOODNESS I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER LOOK BACK. Usually I'll try to finger coil (see my previous finger coiling method here ) random pieces through-out my whole head, most focusing on the front, but it make the curls shorter than the rest and you definitely notice the difference. With the shingling method, my curls were separated but more natural to my curl pattern. HOW DO YOU SHINGLE? Make sure your hair is soaked with water Saturate hair in leave-in conditioner and apply an oil/butter to seal in moisture Apply a gel for extra hold Take small pieces of your hair and smooth root to tip with your thumb and index finger & repeat until you've shingled to your desire (either just your bangs, frizzy parts of your hair, or whole head!) For extra shine and hold, use a diffuser to set curls, or sim...
