The Waterfall Twist Braid, Revisited!

Kouturekiss - The Waterfall Twist



Add an unexpected twist to your everyday tresses! The waterfall twist braid is perfect for amplifying a simple hairstyle. With practice, this easy-to-wear braid can become a go-to style for the upcoming summer months.

  1. Start by applying a pea-size amount of a finishing serum, like Organix Repairing Awapuhi Ginger Dry Styling Oil, to dry locks; this will make braiding dry hair easier by taming any flyaways.
  2. Gather a two inch section of hair near the part—you can start at the hairline or behind bangs—and separate that section into two equal pieces.
  3. Take the piece closest to the hairline and twist it over the second piece.
  4. Holding the two pieces of hair in one hand, grab a small piece of hair from above the twisted section in your other hand and place it between the first and second pieces. Let the new piece hang loosely—you will never add hair to the two original sections. (more…)

Super Curl Your Lashes With A Little Heat!

November 5, 2012


Don’t have time to run out to CVS to get a pair of fake lashes before your night out? Then try this simple little trick to instantly get longer lashes!

  1. Set your blowdryer to low intensity, high heat.
  2. Place the nozzle of the blow dryer about 2 inches away from the eyelash curler.
  3. Blow hot air onto the top part of the curler (not the handle) for about 5-7 seconds.
  4. Important! Safety first. Before you curl, test the curler against your skin to make sure that it is not too hot! The eyelash curler should be fairly warm, but not burning hot. If it is too hot for your liking, let it cool for about 5 seconds.
  5. Finally curl your lashes at the base, then the middle, and finally the end.

Enjoy your eyelashes magically look longer and more lush!
