How-To/DIY: Big, Curly Hair!

I tend to get a lot more compliments on my hair when I wear it curly. People want to know where I got my hair, did I buy it that way, and how do I get it to stay that way.  So, I decided to do a post about how to curl your hair and most importantly, getting that curl to hold! My secret?! 
PIN CURLS!
Right now I have Virgin Indian hair in but this method works with almost every kind of hair.

I’m gonna show you how I went from this:

to this:
and my final look of the night:

What You Will Need:
ONE hair brush
ONE hair wand or curling iron
ONE bottle of hair lotion/light holding spray/light mousse
(I use something called “Curl Activator” made by “Twisted Sista”)
LOTS of bobby pins
Step 1: Brush you hair out thoroughly.
Step 2: Take a section of your hair to curl.  Use dime sized amount of your hair product and apply to that section of the hair. 
Step 3: Take some hair from that section to curl and wrap around wand or curling iron.

Step 4 (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART): Take the curled hair and use a bobby pin to follow the curl pattern and pin to your head.

Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4!

 The end result should look something like this:

Step 6: Wrap hair in silk scarf and leave for a few hours. (I did mine at night and went to sleep with them in.)
Step 7: Take out bobby pins and…..
VOILA! Big bouncy beautiful curls! 
For more volume and sexiness, simply run your fingers through the curls to tease it a big and get that “big and sexy” look!
I use this method quite often:

It’s so easy and works wonders! Have you ever tried pin curls? How do you normally curl your hair?

Favorite Oscar Looks 2013

The Oscars are nothing short of glitz and glam. Everyone looks so amazing! A lot more hits than there were misses.

Naomi Watts looked stunning in Giorgio Armani. The color looks amazing on her and I love the fit of the dress. Her tousled hair matches brilliantly.

Charlize Theron looks uniquely amazing with the perfect mix of bad ass and Hollywood glamour in Christian Dior. Any women that can pull off short cuts get my respect!
Olivia Munn looks so purty in this classic red Marchesa gown. 

Girl Crush Alert! Amanda Seyfried did not disappoint in this Alexander McQueen gown.

And my winner for the night was Jennifer Lawrence. She looked AMAZINGGGG in Christian Dior. The gown looks simply beautiful on her. She looked breath-taking!..and so happy she won big this year!
