Irresistible Me Jade Hair Straightening Ceramic Brush

By Nikoleta Ljuljdjuraj - 1:43 PM

For the past few weeks I've been using the Irresistible Me Jade Hair Straightening Ceramic Brush that they sent me to try out and today I wanted to share my thoughts with you along with some pictures that I took after using it. The Irresistible Me company is based out of USA and they make quality products.

This revolutionary ceramic straightening brush is the hottest hair tool right now. The Irresistible Me Jade with 3D technology for multiple contact points and special ceramic tourmaline heating surface will give you quick and effortless straight hair without heat damage. You may have seen other products that look similar, but the Irresistible Me Jade is the best on the market definitely. The Irresistible Me Jade will give you a gorgeous blowout look in only a few minutes. All you have to do is brush your clean dry hair, taking small wefts and passing the brush through them slowly (similar to what you would normally do using a flat iron). You’re going to be surprised how much faster you can straighten your hair with the Irresistible Me Jade than using the tension or chasing blow-drying method.

The Irresistible Me Jade is the ideal tool for straightening or styling your hair on the run. It’s a lot easier and faster to use than a flat iron and it is designed to make sure you never burn yourself (a bonus for those that are not good with hair tools and keep burning themselves). The Irresistible Me Jade Ceramic Brush will help you get straight hair with a lot of volume at the roots and a healthy shine.

If you’re in a hurry, and you just want to touch up and polish your hairstyle, the Irresistible Me Jade will be your best friend. It will also help to maintain and prolong the perfect look of a professional salon straightening.

You can tame the frizz in just a few passes of this brush. The bristles have ceramic tourmaline surface that heats up quickly and straightens your hair without heat damage.

I love how conveniently I can use Irresistible Me Jade Hair Straightening Ceramic Brush. It is easy to handle and heats up fast thus taking less time in straightening the hair. The best thing is now I don't need to detangle my hair before straightening instead I can upfront use a single appliance that does both jobs for me. I love how silky it makes my hairs look and I hope it is visible in the pictures.

Have you tried this Jade Straightening Brush? How do you like it so far?

Christmas Gift Guide

By Nikoleta Ljuljdjuraj - 3:43 PM

Hi my loves,

Panic mode is on now, I literally can't believe that Christmas is coming. Time just flies by so fast. This year I seem to have brushed Christmas shopping aside, thinking I've got time, but actually I do not have. I have to hurry up and get started to buy presents to my beloved ones. I hope you guys already finished with it, or maybe there are also few of you that are in the same situation like me.

I assume 90% of you who've clicked on this post are in need of some Christmas inspiration, so I've created a little gift guide for those beauty admirers you have in your life.

Skincare Sets

Skincare sets aren't for every beauty admirer, but if you know someone who really cherishes taking care of their skin then why not? Brands such as Kiehls, Clinique, LUSH, Origins, all do amazing gift sets that save you so much money. I think little beauty would make a lot of girls very happy, so these sites you can find anything that will be perfect for your mums, sisters etc.

Makeup

If you know someone who is looking to start out with makeup or who just wants to add to their collection, then here are a couple my favorite brands. For me these makeup brands you should look into, which have great sets such as Benefit, NARS, Makeup Revolution and Too Faced.

Haircare

When it comes to my haircare, I pretty much love to receive gifts because I try different things, and in that way I can see what best fits for my hair. Haircare brands to check out with amazing deals on are Bumble&Bumble, Tigi and Moroccan Oil. If you have someone who has struggle with hair, you should definitely check out Moroccan Oil, I personally am obsessed with their products, and made such a big difference for my hair.

Bodycare

Brands such as Soap&Glory, LUSH, Nivea, and Dove always stock some amazing Christmas gift sets for pampering your body and are so affordable and easy gifts for people. But if you are wanting something more luxurious Laura Mercier do some amazing gift sets for pampering that are absolutely amazing.

Fragrance

Something that is a bit more affordable to look at buying is the Soap&Glory Body Mists, Zara Perfume or even Victoria's Secret. If you are looking at perfume gift sets Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein and Burberry all do some great sets that are not pricey either.

What are you buying for your beloved ones this Christmas?

7 Day Hair Care Routine

By Nikoleta Ljuljdjuraj - 5:48 PM

Hello my lovelies,

I'm back again! Hope you enjoy this blog post and you find it helpful!

I created a 7 day hair care routine that has worked wonders. As someone who struggles with dry hair, my goal was to add some serious shine and smoothness.

Here’s my routine:

Day 1 – Create a healthy hair diet

To start your 7 day routine off right, the first key is to nourish your hair from the inside out and that means creating a diet rich with hair boosting vitamins and minerals. I started off ditching all nasty foods like sugar and processed meals and I went back to basics. My diet consisted of healthy fats, lean protein and plenty of filtered water to give my hair the energy it needed.

A typical day looked like this:

· Warm water with lemon to kick start my digestion in the morning

· Breakfast of boiled eggs and avocado on sourdough toast

· Lunch of grilled chicken salad with olives and a drizzle of olive oil

· Baked salmon with roasted vegetables

Day 2 – Ditch the heating tools

On day 2, I made the brave decision to ditch any heating tools from my routine! This was to ensure I wasn’t overworking my hair or doing it too much damage.

I wanted to give my hair a break from the harsh winter by really nourishing it with food and more natural products.

The first step I made was putting my straightener away to avoid temptation (a big step for me!). I then washed my hair with Garnier Ultimate Blends The Colour Illuminator Shampoo and Conditioner for coloured, dry hair. This is my personal favourite as it’s really suited to my hair type and gives me instant shine and smoothness.

I allowed my hair to dry naturally, just by towel drying it and letting it eventually dry out.

Day 3 – Choose a mask treatment

On Day 3, I was on a mission to treat my hair and give it the time out it needed from harsh ingredients and heating tools. I used the EverStrong Strengthening and Repairing Mask Treatment from L’Oréal Paris’ Hair Expertise range because it’s made with 100% sulphate-free solution, plus botanical oils. This unique mixture is perfect for a mask treatment, as it deeply nourishes the hair.

I left the treatment in for about 5 minutes to give my hair the best chance of repairing itself from the harsh Winter winds. I also upped my healthy fat intake that day to ensure my hair was really being nourished both inside and out. I could already feel the smoothness and softness coming back into my locks after years of using heating tools and harsh products.

Day 4 – Prepare your hair for a night out

Halfway through my healthy hair care routine, I was invited to dinner and wanted to try a new style for my hair, without using any heating tools. I chose the EverStrong Texturising Spray from L’Oréal Paris Hair Expertise and worked it into my hair for a really nice soft wave. My hair is slightly wavy naturally, so this worked a treat for that ‘just came from the beach’ look.

Day 5 – Wash gently

On Day 5, I was working from home, so I allowed my hair to again dry naturally after washing it in the morning.

I was a bit more careful with the application of my conditioner this time and tried a trick that my hairdresser taught me. She advised that before conditioning the hair, you should squeeze the water from your hair in the shower and then apply the conditioner and work it through your hair gently with massage. Allow it to sit for at least 3 minutes then rinse.

Another great tip is to towel dry your hair by blotting it rather than rubbing the hair (that breaks the follicles and can lead to frizzy locks!)

Day 6 – Up your water intake

Coming to the end of my healthy hair routine, I continued to replenish my body with filtered water and stuck with my clean eating regime. I left my hair to go all natural on day 6 so that it had the chance to repair itself. I have to admit, avoiding heating tools was hard but I could definitely see the difference already! It was looking less frizzy and felt softer.

Day 7 – Finish with a smoothing blow dry

On Day 7, I could really see the amazing results of caring for my hair with a healthy diet and products that were 100% sulphate-free. I’d avoided using heat tools all week, but as I was heading out again to an event, I opted to wash my hair with Garnier Ultimate Blends The Colour Illuminator Shampoo and Conditioner.

I set my blow dryer to a lower setting and used the mist to create a beautiful smooth finish on my hair. After a week of really caring for it, my hair was in top condition so using the blow dry mist worked wonders!

Try the 7 day hair routine for yourself:

After truly repairing my hair over 7 days, I invite you to give it a go! This is perfect for anyone who struggles with dry or lackluster hair.

Have you tried anything similar to this routine? Do you have new suggestions for me?

Nikoleta Lj, xoxo.

3 Hair Masks For Shiny Healthy Hair

By Nikoleta Ljuljdjuraj - 11:56 AM

Damaged hair. Well, we’ve been all there. Blow dryers, products and weather are the main reason why we have damaged hair. So that’s why I chose to write this post, because I deal with this problem too. I have dry hair, and I definitely use all the time masks, and thanks to that my hair it is much better now. But what I personally love to use are homemade hair masks, easy and simple to use. The ingredients that I use you have it on your own home. So let’s begin!

1. All Hair Types: Avocado & Honey

Cut and scoop out the flesh from a ripened avocado and mix in a tablespoon of organic honey. Apply to hair and allow it to sit for maximum 20 minutes before rising it of in the shower. For a better result you can also sleep with this mask, and then take a shower in the morning.

Avocados are rich in a variety of vitamins and nutrients, including vitamin E and protein, both of which your hair needs to remain soft and healthy. Meanwhile, honey is a natural antibacterial agent.

2. Dry Hair: Organic Coconut Oil & Honey

All you need is one tablespoon of organic coconut oil, and one tablespoon of organic honey. If you need you can add a bit more of these ingredients for extra damaged hair. Mix the ingredients together and apply to your hair. You can heat the mixture up on a stovetop in a small saucepan. It will be much easier to apply it to your hair. Focus on the ends where most damage occurs. Wrap your hair in a bun and let the mask soak in for 30-40 minutes. Wash the mask out in the shower using your regular shampoo and conditioner. Voila, your hair is soft, smooth, and healthy!

Coconut Oil is a rich source of nutrients like vitamin E, vitamin K and iron. These nutrients are essential for maintaining your hair’s shine and softness. Regular application of coconut oil helps your hair strong and moisturized.

3. Oily Hair: Apple Cider Vinegar & Lemon

Combine ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar with the grated peel of an entire lemon and allow it to set for 15 minutes to absorb the excess oil from your scalp, and then rinse in the shower. This is an easy way to get rid of oily hair that it’s your biggest problem for sure. Simple and easy. You will be able to see such a great results after trying this method 2 to 3 times a week.

Apple Cider Vinegar will remove build up from styling products and conditioners and strengthen the hair shaft, leaving you with soft, shiny strands. It will also balance hair’s pH level, kill bacteria and is a cure for the dandruff. Lemon can remove excess oil without stripping away too much of the natural oil that your hair needs to keep the ends of your hair strong and maintained.
