Hi Beauty Pies!
Just wanted to share my latest YouTube obsession, FusionOfCultures!
Here she is doing a tutorial on something called a “Sock Bun” which I’d never heard of, but think looks fabuloso!

The first time I was introduced to clipless curling irons was at an event where I got my hair done in Taylor Swift-style spirals.
I wanted to be able to recreate those beautiful curls at home and Misikko was kind enough to send me their version of the clipless curling iron, the Corioliss Wand Ceramic Curling Iron ($99).
When I opened up the box, the first thing I saw was the heat protectant pouch wrapped in a pink and white polka dot bow –such cute presentation!
At first glance, the iron itself to me…looked like…

Hello B365 readers!
Recently, Stephanee and I were lucky enough to represent Beauty 365 at the launch of Carol’s Daughter’s new Chocolät Smoothing Collection…
The collection is designed to physically rebuild hair structure by softening and smoothing each strand. The collection consists of three steps: Chocolät Smoothing Shampoo, Conditioner, and Blow Dry Cream. The products contain Keravis, which is a plant-protein that physically rebuilds hair by filling in lifted cuticles.
I just want to let you know that I HATE blow-drying my hair at home. My arms get so tired and my hair does not get the texture that I like…

Dear MsTanish1,
Your hair is still so amazing. Thank you kindly for posting your weekly hair routine!
So many great (and affordable!) ideas.
However, I realize that I am much less motivated than you are and would be lucky if I did your *full* routine once every 6 weeks (doh!) The concoction that you mix to twist your hair sounds amazing. Must try it out, but… only if someone else mixes it up for me

Ah well, Beauty Pies, I want to hear from you…
Do you have an extensive weekly haircare routine? Also, do you ever mix your own hair products?

So you’ve decided to seek hair help from a professional, but where do you begin?! Have no fear, Beauty 365 is here! Check out my 5 tips for selecting a natural hairstylist below…
1. Determine your needs – what do you want done?
Sounds straightforward, right? But, there can be lots of choices when it comes to natural hairstyles. Afro, twists, braids, blowout, etc. It always helps to have a picture of what you are looking for, but if not make sure you have the description down pat.
2. Set your budget – factor in extras!
That lavish deep conditioning treatment that you got talked into can run you a pretty penny…

 Hi Beauties!
Today’s installment of the Frugal Beauty series features Castile Soap. Now, I’ll admit, I always thought that this was some kind of weird hippie “soap” that really didn’t clean all that well…

The first time I used Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner ($11), I was in the process of growing out my relaxer. Boy, it was a process alright! My hair is super thick and the transition ended up being too time consuming and costly for me personally. I’m a low maintenance girl and growing out my relaxer was a lot of work, therefore I ended up going back to relaxers. Just so you have a visual, here’s a pic of my hair curly and straight…
This review is two fold simply because I used Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner before (when I was growing out my relaxer) and after (when I started getting relaxers again). While I was going natural it was such a daunting task trying to choose products that worked well with my hair and helped with the manageability of transitioning from permed to natural. Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner was one of the products I tried but did not seem to get the results I expected.

Happy Monday, Beauty Pies!
Whilst attempting to troubleshoot my WordPress blog template this weekend and oscillating between anger and despair, I did not follow my own advice – ahem – discovered this fantastic video on YouTube!
[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBejDUFOBxw]
This clip is by the Curly Girl Collective and it’s a video montage of the Collective Expressions Launch Event that was held not too long ago in NYC. Here’s the official blurb from CGC:
“The official video recap from Collective Expressions – A Celebration of Textured Beauty, held at Brian Farrell’s Art Studio at Chelsea Modern in NYC. The event was sponsored by hair care icon Miss Jessie’s, in partnership with HEART & SOUL MAGAZINE and Hypnotiq Harmonie, with 100% of the event proceeds going to our charity partner, Petals-N-Belles.“
This looks to have been a very chic (and fun!) event celebrating the beauty of our hair in it’s natural state. Did any of you Beauties get a chance to attend? If so, let us know in the comments!
Stay Beautiful
