Many of you knew I got two doses of the Pfizer Covid vaccine in early 2021 and that the second dose kicked my butt. My second dose was about 12:30 pm and by 10:30 I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly, but something felt off. By 3:30 am the body aches and chills and sweats had keptContinue reading “Holy Vaccine Response, Batman”

More Color Correction Fun
And this time on myself! The main purpose of this post is to really document and highlight how much work really goes into color corrections, even ones that seem “simple,” and to stress how important it is to make sure you’re informed and prepared for what’s going to go into a correction. The first thingContinue reading “More Color Correction Fun”
I’m switching to Olaplex!
A while back I wrote about the differences between Olaplex and B3, and why I was using B3 instead of Olaplex. My main hang up that pushed me towards the B3 over the Olaplex initial was that the Olaplex had the second step that just took extra time we don’t always have. In my previousContinue reading “I’m switching to Olaplex!”
What really happens when you use kitchen oils in your hair
It seems like we hear it around every corner: “coconut oil is a miracle worker” or “have a problem? Try coconut oil!” To an extent, sure thing!

Full extension install: One Step Weft and I-Tip

Reds in real life
I was due for a color change anyway and this provided me a great opportunity to also test out some colors. These colors were all applied at the same time on February 15. I shampooed my hair and dried it without using conditioner. I applied the Vivids in a triangle shape on the top panelContinue reading “Reds in real life”
Color Correction Fun
This one started out once upon a time as a color correction on an at home split dye job. We got her hair to a great point considering what we had to work with when we got started during that first session. Being a girl after my own heart, of course in between appointments sheContinue reading “Color Correction Fun”
Let’s talk I-tip extensions
There are a lot of different kinds of hair extensions out there, and they all have their pros and cons. After my research I had decided on I-tip extensions as my first certification for a few reasons I’ll dive into shortly, but the quick version is that they were the best bang for the buckContinue reading “Let’s talk I-tip extensions”
Stages of lift and color corrections: going from dark to light and back again
Despite all the jokes you might hear about people wanting to go silver blonde in one sitting after coloring their hair black from a box for years, it really is a thing that gets asked for and it really is just short of impossible to achieve. The short version is that permanent color builds upContinue reading “Stages of lift and color corrections: going from dark to light and back again”
It’s been a while since I’ve worked with resin
And I’ll be the first to admit that any previous “success” was really hit or miss. Mostly miss. But it’s still a medium I’m constantly drawn back to, especially when given the opportunity to customize endlessly in a mixed media format. But tonight, we just experiment. And so far I’m reasonably happy. It takes significantlyContinue reading “It’s been a while since I’ve worked with resin”
