Hello my loves, if you haven’t read part 1 please do head over there now. I talk you through my hair wash routine ready for styling my hair.

We are at the stage where I need to straighten my hair to get the weight and frizz out of it before I curl!

Taking my Lee Stafford Heat Protection Mist I like to spritz away from my head so it’s evenly lands using only a little bit of product. I don’t want to clog up my hair as this can lead to it getting greasy.

I use GHDS to straighten my hair. Mainly focusing on getting the weight from the routes.

Now we are ready for curling.

I tend to like to curl my hair on, 2-day old hair. I find it lasts longer and it’s a great way to spruce it up when it’s looking dull.

Fast forward two days.. my hair has been straight and down looking lifeless I give my hair a good brush through to get out all the tangles.

The first thing I like to do is take some dry shampoo to the roots of my hair and then using my Lee Stafford Dry shampoo blending brush to bring it through my hair. This bush is great for helping to evenly distribute dry shampoo from roots to tips. I use dry shampoo to help get rid of any oils and also add volume and texture.

Now we are ready to start curling.

Turn on the machine and set your temperature. I like to use 200c for 12 seconds.

The handy display screen is easy to use and shows you curly what temperature it is, how many seconds it will curl your hair, what direction it will curl, and also battery life.

When I first used the Millionaires Curls curler I was so surprised by how easy it was to use and how good the curls came out. I won’t lie I was a little apprehensive about my hair getting tangled or court but it’s so gentle I do not have this issue at all. Not once on the occasions, I have used has my hair got stuck or tangled.

When I have had my hair curled in the past with GHDs you can feel them pulling and ripping the hair. This machine does not clamp or hold your hair meaning no snagging or ripping. Basically, how it works is you place your hair very easily into the opening press and hold the button and it winds in your hair then you realise your finger off the button when it beeps. You wait for the beeping 12 seconds and then you pull the machine away from your head and your hair falls out in a perfect curl. It’s amazing! I have filmed an Instagram Reel for you all to show how it works click the link here.

After many requests, I will be going live on my business Facebook account to show you first hand how it works. Add me to keep up to date for when that’s happening.

What I love about this little thing is that it’s super compact and lightweight so does not hurt my arms using it. It has a left and right direction you can change so you get your curls going in the right direction. The speed at which it did my whole head, didn’t take long at all. No hair got tangled or twisted in the machine. I did not feel like my hair is getting pulled or damaged. It is rechargeable so you don’t have to worry about wires or plugs. It also acts as a battery pack to can charge your phone from it. One thing I did find is the battery didn’t last as long as I would have hoped for but remember my hair is super thick and very long.

It will not burn you! That is massive for me, I am so so clumsy like the worst! None of it gets too hot to touch. Also, it’s so pretty I love their colour range!

It comes with a handy bag to keep it all in which is perfect to keep the charging wire safe.

Once my hair is all styled and the curls have cooled. I like to take my Lee Stafford “Comb out the Curl” to comb through my curls. It helps to gently separate them without ruining the curls. Its infused with Coconut oil which is my absolute fave scent. I love it.

To finish off, I like to spritz my hair with Lee Stafford shine spray this again smells amazing and a spritz of Lee Stafford Hair spray to help set and keep all my curls in place.

This is my ultimate combo and something I will be recreating for Valentine’s day this year! I’m beyond happy and excited that I can finally have curly hair whenever I want to!

Huge thank you to Lee Stafford and Millionaire curls for collaborating with me, all my views are my own and I was not obliged to post this.

What are your plans for Valentine?

I would love to know in the comments below!

Valentines or Galentines whichever you celebrate will be very different this year, but we all deserve a good pamper. For me, good hair, skin & Nails are what make me feel the best. I have always loved curly hair on me, it is my absolute favorite way of wearing my hair but with it being so long and thick I find it almost impossible to do it myself from home.

I either go to a salon to have it done or persuade a friend. Obviously, both these are not allowed at the moment.

I have tried everything from home, GHDs, barrels, wands, BaByliss Curl Secret, and I either burn myself or my hair gets tangled up. So, I go without and just straighten which gets super boring.

 Over the past few weeks, I have been trying out the perfect combo products thanks to Lee Stafford and found the ultimate game-changer when it comes to curls courtesy of Millionaire Curls.

Let’s take it to the shower!

Starting with shampoo and Condish! Lee Stafford’s Hair Apology is just lush! Not only does it smell incred it’s Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Sulfate-free, and helps to rescue damaged hair! It has helped massively with my frizz and leaves my hair feeling super clean and fresh.

I always wash my hair twice! Like skincare it’s important to double cleanse your skin, it’s also important to double cleanse your scalp. Wash one removes dirt oils and build-up, wash two properly cleans your hair and give you that just out of the salon feeling. I like to massage my scalp when I do this as it helps my hair follicles do their thing I’m sure that’s one of the things that helps my hair grow so quick!

Once out of the shower I use an old cotton t-shirt to dry my hair this is the best way to stop your hair from snagging, breaking, and getting frizzy.

I then wrap it in a hair turban that is microfibre until it feels like it’s “towel dry”

Lee Stafford CoCo LoCo Blow & Go 11 in 1 Lotion has become a firm favorite of mine, it smells incredible. The whole range of everything Lee Stafford creates smells amazing. I like to apply this to my “towel dried” hair as it helps protect it against heat from my hairdryer.

Vegetarian Friendly and cruelty free it helps your hair to blow dry smoothly, makes it more manageable, adds shine & softness, helps with humidity, protects colour along with a whole host of other benefits!

I then go in and dry my hair with my Dyson hairdryer!

Once my hair is dry I will straighten it to help take the weight out of my hair. As I have mentioned before I have super long thick hair that’s very heavy and frizzy.
