Textured Curls with Garnier Fructis

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday! I am super excited to share a hairstyle with you today using Texture Tease by Garnier Fructis! Since I usually get asked about my curls, I want to share with you guys one of my favorite ways to wear them. The great thing about loose, wavy curls is that you can dress them up, or down depending on where you're going. It's not overly dressy, but it's also not extremely casual so it leaves you right in between.

What I do first is make sure my hair is nice and clean. I usually wash my hair the night before and then sleep on it. Once I wake up in the morning it's usually crazy and wild(lots of volume) which is what I love! If your hair is harder to manage this way, then just wash it and blow dry it as you normally would. You want to start with your natural hair, a little bit of wave is fine too! You should work with your hair, and no one knows it better than you!

Next, section off the hair into half up, half down. This helps maintain each curl separately and you can drop section by section as you curl. I wrap my hair around this 1 inch curling iron, and that works best for me. Regular curls don't hold in my hair, so I love that I get this wavy, all natural look with wrapping.

As soon as you curl a section, spray the bottom with the texture tease, and scrunch your hair with your fingers to give it that extra texture in between curls. 

Once you get to the top section of hair, take the texture tease and spray it into your roots. (This will be in between your top and bottom section. Since texture tease is backcomb in a bottle you can use your fingers to tease the product into your hair.

Once the product has successfully has been teased into your hair, you can continue curling the remaining hair from the top section.

Finish it off with a little Sleek & Shine Anti Humidity Hairspray and some texture tease underneath the hair for that perfect look! To add that extra touch, I added a flower crown to go with my textured waves!

Garnier Videos Behind The Scenes

So if you follow me on instagram or twitter you probably would've seen some updates from me over the past few days about my shoot in New York City with Glam & Garnier. About two months ago I shot this video with them and had such a blast, so I knew that shooting again would be an amazing experience. AND IT WAS. We had such a fun two days shooting three different how-to videos for  different funky and chic hairstyles.

It was a really great experience to step out of my comfort zone and do some beauty related videos because it's something I am not used to, but really felt great doing. I can't wait to share the final product with you guys! Here are some behind the scenes pictures from the two days of shooting. Hope you guys are having an awesome week.

Happy Friday everybody!

Behind The Scenes At The Garnier Marvelous Oils Shoot!

If you follow me on Instagram , or Facebook, you'd know that I have been posting photos from the Garnier Marvelous Oils shoot that took place last week on Thursday. I found out last week that I was chosen to be the blogger in this video, and I was beyond excited. The week was filled with the anticipation of what the shoot would be like, what I would have to do and how everything would go. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with, and I feel honored to be a part of something so amazing! I got to work alongside celebrity hairstylist Tommy Buckett during the shoot, and we hit it off immediately. 

When you meet people who have the same enthusiasm as you do, things flow pretty nicely, and everyone I got to meet that day was so pleasant and fun to be around. Not only did I have a blast at the shoot, but I feel like I walked away from it with a lot of new friends, and lasting connections.

These behind the scenes pictures were all taken by the wonderful lady who is known as Melinda Martinez. She not only was the makeup artist for the shoot, but she also was kind enough to take all these photos without even being asked, so Melinda, a HUGE thank you for taking these amazing shots throughout the day, and of course for making me feel beautiful!

Since this was my first real production, everything was new for me. I took everything in and felt like I learned so much throughout the day. It's crazy how much work goes into these commercials, and how much time everyone devotes to make sure that everything is perfect.

I had such a beautiful time, I can't thank everyone enough for this opportunity. I also can't wait to post the video, it's going to be MARVELOUS! Thank you to everyone involved, Garnier, Glam, Kamp Kennedy , Mel Mar Media, Publicis Kaplan Thaler, and of course my co-star Tommy Buckett. You are all awesome and I can't wait to work together again in the future!
