How to shingle hair

I've been asked how to shingle hair MANY times before. The funny thing is that once I explain the process, most people already know what it is however they do not know that it is called shingling. 
Shingling hair is a method of achieving curl through layering of product on sections of hair. doing this locks in moisture and maintains a “wet” look.

If you want to achieve this look simply follow these steps.
Section your hair into four. 
Starting from the back grab small portions of hair and comb your specified gel through your hair. Repeat on your full head and you will have an amazing curly hair style

Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween kiddies! So I know I have been away for a very long while but I am back now and ready to serve your hair needs! I thought that it would be amazing to kick things off with some awesome Halloween hair styles. 
Halloween is by far my favorite time of year you get to dress up in any way you please and no one will say a thing, well they may but as the old Dr. Seuss saying goes, “those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter!”
Often times on Halloween we forget that a lot of Halloween hair products such a temporary spray dyes have lots of heavy alcohol and drying agents in them.  Wigs can make your hair sweat and itch and can be rather uncomfortable.  So what is one to do? Well I have provided a couple of Halloween costumes that are easy on the hair.

Nu'Bia
Nu’bia. This sassy Amazonian warrior of Slaughter Island is sure to be a smash hit that your hair and your beau will love you for.  To get her look simply leave medium length natural hair in rollers over night, style when ready and wear.

Empress
Empress. This kick butt African ninja is the gal to be if you are vivacious and sporty. Though her hair is a bit on the longer side this look is easy to pull off.  Pull all your hair back into a tight pony tail and voilà! Simple as that, if you need more length just head out to a dollar shop or drug store, buy a clip on ponytail and you are set.

SkyBlu. A good friend of mine asked me how to do the hair for this costume so I decided to throw it up here because of how incredibly simple it is. Grab your favorite gel and conditioner, mix them both together and after coming out of the shower shingle your hair! Let it dry and there you have it.
