curl hair with socks (no heat)

i have poker straight hair .
so while other s long for straight hair ,i long for curly hair (i think it makes one look sueper girly)
i'm very conscious about hair care so i don't really wanna get a perm .
 it scares me what the chemicals might do to my hair.
at the same time, i'm also not very fond of using curling iron (though i use it occasionally)
came across this method to curl hair with socks and viola!!
thats just what i've been looking for. i tried it with my old stockings.
steps-
1.slightly wet your hair.
2.roll on the socks like you would with a hair roller.
 tie the ends of the socks.
depending on your amount of hair , your can use as many socks as you want.
 (i used only 2-one each on the sides).
3. now go to sleep and next day viola!!
you'll have great curls (chemical and heat free..dont you love it!!)
here s the result :)

my new fav stuffs !!

i've been dyinggg to get my hands on one of those owl rings for ages. but then considering the place i live in (ie bihar) i can never seem to find what i want. sadly even the ones they sell online were unreasonably pricey .so i refrained myself from buying it.:(

on my recent trip to bangalore i drowned myself in accessories shopping.

the tiny accessory shops in Brigade Road have all the latest fashion accessories and at amazingly cheap rates.

my bf got me an 'owl ring' which i simply adore.

midnight slumber...review NYX Girls Nail Polish Super Funk

the title? it doesnt mean anything...hehe .i just typed the first words that crossed my mind...
because when i think "purple" i imagine something sober yet mysterious and dark, hence the name.

this is the nailpolish i got from Stylecraze.com.
the glitter was in the perfect amount(not OTT) because i'm not a big fan of glitter.
but if you want more than you can apply more than one coat.
as for me one is enough.

as for the nail tips i used EN-VY nail polish (forgot the shade)which i got from health and glow.
no top coats used.

i usually dont pair it with a base coat because i like the clear sparkly glitter it has.
.and don't wanna ruin it. plus it looks more elegant this way.

continuation of christmas spirit :p

i know christmas is a month behind us. i really wanted to make a christmassy nail art back then but i ran out of white nail polish so unfortunately i couldn't.

i got one during my All India PG exam trip to bangalore n here is what i did ... i love the result hehe... hope you guys love it too.

attempt to reach 50 fans giveaway

And she screams "HAIRBANDS!!"...

i love hair accessories...i can never stop buying them.

when i go to a mall i get stuck to the accessories section (my mom finds that annoying!!lol she s more of a cloth hauler)

so when i saw this hairband on sale at "krucarnations" for 115 bucks ONLY!!

i went for it right away :)

it came by govt. postal service so u can imagine the condition. it was broken and torn in 3 places...

ah the tragedy!!!(my heart shattered into million pieces)

i wanted it too badly so didnt have the heart to throw it away .i decided to customise it.

its actually a hair band but i sow the torn areas and made it into a bandana kind.

i love how it turned out

u can get it from KRUCARNATIONS

Reasons to love winter :)

with my new fav yellow dress

i hate winter...though my hometown is a hill station (Ukhrul,Manipur.North east india) 

and its almost always winter out there.

everyday is like a walk in the cloud. 

and yet the only thing i like about winter are trench coats and boots :p (duhhh!!)

Toni & Guy Straight and Protect (shampoo and conditioner)

My hair has been getting worse lately- dull and coarse.

i hate the water in Bihar(too much iron and other minerals since we mostly get underground water).

i miss home (ie manipur)...the water there makes hair so soft, im nostalgic just thinking about it :(

Toni & Guy is the first professional hair product i've used.

i got it from http://www.healthkart.com/Home.action

after i had ordered it i tried finding some reviews about it

OMG!!! ter are too many bad reviews.

i felt terrible. i cursed myself that i shouldn't have ordered it at all!!

image via google

We have been washing our hair for so long.

But have we ever wondered if we are doing it the right way?

so..."the correct way to wash your hair?" , you must be wondering..."is she kidding?"

well,im not.

i've been washing and conditioning my hair for the past 2 decades and i thought i was pretty good at it.

and that was before i came to bihar!! you see ...i have naturally poker straight hair and no matter how much i abused it (coloring and never combing!!)it never gave up on me. 

but now..no matter how much i care for it it just wont stop falling!!! (omg!!whats going on..m growing bald :p)

so i asked my fren's sister who owns a saloon in mumbai (ZIDO saloon) to give me some tips on use of professional hair products.
