Curlformers are nylon spiral shaped rods that come with a crochet like hook. The hook allows you to pull your hair through the inside of the Curformers and end up with curls without using heat. . .

My first time hearing about Curlformers was from Naptural85 on Youtube. You can check out her video tutorial below.

As soon as I saw the video I drove to Sally’s Beauty Supply and bought the starter kit. . .

In my quest for healthier hair, I decided to experiment with an Ayurvedic approach. I did some research on it and I saw that others who used the powders (Henna, Cassia, Amla, etc.) were getting great results. So on a recent trip to the Indian grocery store, I saw three powders, which I thought would be interesting to try: Amla, Brahmi, and Shikakai.

The powders are manufactured by Hesh and are said to have the following properties. . .

Bonjour, mes amies!

I really love raw shea butter. It has done wonders for my skin, especially this winter. My skin was so dry to the point of itching and irritation. Ugochi recommended using raw shea butter and since using it I haven’t looked back. However, since the weather is warming up, pure raw shea butter is a bit thick for me. I needed a lighter mix to use. So, I decided to make my own whipped shea butter mix using some nourishing oils. . .

Wet ‘n Wild is giving other makeup companies a run for their money.

The other day in Rite Aid my brain must have short circuited and had a makeup overload  because I ended up buying every single color of Wet ‘n Wild’s Mega Last Lip Color ($2).

I’d picked up one on a whim the week before and fell in love, hence the beauty binge.

When I got home I realized I bought dupes of two of the same colors. Duh!

Thank the beauty Gods that I love these semi matte lipsticks. . .

Earlier this month, Carol’s Daughter invited the Beauty 365 team to learn more about Transitioning Movement.

We learned that more and more women are transitioning from relaxers to natural hair. The relaxed hair market has been rapidly declining. We were informed that is has decreased from over $100 million to $35 million in sales.

Despite the declining market, there is no packaged kit or localized resources addressing the issues involved with transitioning to natural hair. . .

Same questions + different person = The Beauty 3/6/5, an interesting peek into the lives and beauty personalities of our fantastic readers!

This week’s edition of The Beauty 3/6/5 features Asha from Montreal! Asha is a writer and beauty junkie. 

She likes every beauty product under the sun, funky accessories, and her dog Coco.

So, without further ado…

3: PERSON

1. Describe yourself in 10 words or less.

Bold, creative, jovial, passionate and resilient.

2. Tell us about your personal philosophy.

Live this life like you haven’t been promised another.

3. “I am the most beautiful when…”
