Ever since I got my new extensions I've been really stingy about curling them because I want them to stay as soft as possible for the longrun. Styling and heat can cause hair to dry quicker aaaand it takes more maintenance to curl my extensions and to wash them from product build up and to nourish them from the abuse.
So I went ahead and grabbed these cheap curlers from Walmart for $9 and I am extremely pleased with the results!
My only issue is that even though the package says magnetic, they're just plastic. The pieces snap into each other. The plastic that snaps the hair into place does slightly expand after using them by stuffing them with thick hair, so you have to squeeze it in your palm to get it back to shape in order to fit the other piece. So it does make me wary about how long these will last. At least they're cheap :3
All I did to get the curls was separate my extensions into small sections and ran my hand through the hair with water, then I rolled the hair into the curler. Let it dry over night and then you have curls for the whole day! I didn't use any products or heat at all which makes me really happy :]
I wasn't sure what I was going to get since I haven't used rollers before. I was mildly surprised with how tight the curls were and was concerned if I was going to look like a high priced poodle x] But I wound up loving the volume and curls xD I just had to run my fingers through them and wait a little bit for the curls to drop a bit.
It's so pretty and fun :3 I couldn't stop touching them and jumping up and down so that they would spring up, haha.
There wasn't enough curlers to do my own hair at the same time. I'll have to buy another set if I wanted to do that. That's why the top of my hair isn't as curly. The barrel of my curling iron is 1 1/4" which makes waves more than curls.
I have almost the same crooked, smirking smile in this picture as the one above xDDD
I'm looking into the Jilbere Nano Silver Curling Iron which has a 1" barrel. I'm sure it'll help blend in my hair with the extensions when I curl them like this.
Back to the curls ♥ The humidity does bring them down much quicker so I'll probably use products for that. I'm glad summer is almost over though. Well, kind of. I live in Florida so it's summer most of the year . ___. Such a horrible state for hair xD
I also tried another different makeup style. It's very heavy but it's actually due to the lashes. It's a mix of 3 different lashes. One of them is a Diamond lash. The other two I forget, but they were bought at Sally's. The bottom eyelashes were cut up from Dolly Wink #1.
Haven't tried this style before so it's still pretty messy, especially on the bottom lid. But the lashes make for great picture taking x] Very dramatic!
And by the way, the contacts I'm using are Glossy 3 Tone Green, 15mm. They sent me the wrong ones but I opened them anyways xD I'm impatient and I like trying new lenses, haha.
They're huge, even for my eyes. I rarely get a halo but these give me the look! When I started getting into circle lenses, I really wanted a halo but they weren't coming out with very big lenses yet. So be warned, 15mm lenses are huuuuge. I have a huge face, so it doesn't look as dramatic as people with smaller faces x]
The color is exactly as you see in the pictures. They're very translucent and offer a hint of color. These lenses dry quick though. After 4-5 hours of wear, they were drying up really fast.
Lots of pictures of meeee. I couldn't help it. I was excited about my makeup and hair xD I haven't been styling it lately so it's been quite awhile for me.
