Product Review: Hair Flairs Color Rub

Recently I was approached by Hair Flairs and asked to review a new product they had come out with.

Hair Flairs Color Rub is a temporary color that literally rubs directly on to hair and creates a fun look until it washes out with the next shampoo. 

Of course Keyanna and I jumped at the opportunity to do this review, She was thrilled with the idea of having colorful hair.. So we took a look at the site and she chose the Fuchsia Flare color. 

When we first received the Color Rub in the mail Keyanna couldn't wait to try it out, I was a little skeptical of how well it would really work since it is in a powder form and I had never seen anything like it. 

We immediately took down her ponytail she had been wearing that day and I applied the color rub to a strip of her hair. I was surprised how bright it was since Keyanna's hair is a darker blonde/brown, it really stood out. I didn't apply much because I wasn't sure how temporary it really was, but after her bath that night there was no evidence that she had ever had pink hair. 

The next day I braided her hair and decided to add some pink to the tips of her hair for a rockstar look, and she definitely felt like one! 

Before applying it to Keyanna's hair I watched their "How-To" video, The color rub was very easy to apply. I opted against using gloves and the color did stain my hands so I would recommend everyone take their suggestion and use them. They also mention that the color rub can transfer onto clothing and suggest wearing darker colors. 

Overall Keyanna and I are very pleased with this product. She received a ton of compliments over the weekend, and is asking for more colors now! I love that the color was so bright, but is very temporary and washed out easily. 

You can purchase Hair Flairs Color Rub on their website for $13.00, and they have 9 colors to choose from. We used about half of our color rub to create this style.

Style Remix: Half Back Cornrows With Curls (Half Up/Half Down)

After wearing our previous style for a few days we decided to switch it up a little bit. I took down the ponytail and wet all of her loose hair. After adding a little moisturizer and combing out any knots I took the ends of the cornrows and tied them into a pony on the right side of her head. The rest of her hair I left down. I then added our long and extra wide Curlformers to all of her hair and left them overnight to dry. 

Love it :)

Half Back Cornrows Into A Side Pony

I did this style on Keyanna for a birthday party we were going to for her little cousin, and since the party was on the 31st it also doubled as her New Years Eve style.  

I started this style by parting her hair ear to ear and tying off the back section. I then did a slight S shape cornrow, and did the 2 small cornrows for the :bangs”. I continued adding cornrows down the side of her head towards her ear. For the other half I added a few more S cornrows and then did the same thing adding cornrows all the way dawn until I reached her ear. 

I didn’t want to use rubber bands for this style, instead I continued braiding the hair a few more inches off of the scalp so it wouldn’t unravel. 

After I finished braiding I brushed all of her hair up into a high side pony and added our long and wide curl formers to curl it. She slept with them in overnight and here are the results we got the next morning… 

I added a cute bow (from SassyRoche Bowtique, Check them out!) and she was ready  to go! 

New Cornrow Design

So I have really been slackin’ on the new styles lately, but I finally got myself motivated enough to pull this one off last night. It’s actually not finished yet, we had homework to do so I just finished up by braiding all of the hair into a low side pony. I plan on taking those out in the next day or 2 and doing the original style I had planned. I’ll post update pics when I do. 

Anyways, I loved how it came out. And it was actually a lot easier to do than I had anticipated. I just cant think of a name for this style. Lol. Any suggestions??

We used our new Blended Beauty products for this style and are loving them so far! Review coming soon. 

Halloween Style: Cornrowed Spider/Web Design

So a lot of you have probably seen these pics on Beads Braids & Beyond  already, I was so honored when she asked to share our style as photo of the day! 

I did this style on Keyanna at the beginning of October, I though it was fitting since it had a Halloween feel to it, This was my first time doing spider/web braids and I think it was the most intricate style I have ever done. We got tons of compliments and Keyanna insists it’s her new favorite style. 

I’m hoping anyone who plans on trying to copy this style can do it by just looking at our pics and kind of following what we did through them because honestly this style is just too complicated for me to explain and I would probably just confuse you all more if I tried lol. I wil say that I started the style by parting her hair down the middle (from her forehead to the nape of her neck) and braided the left side first, and then did the right side making it as symmetrical as I could.. It is a little off though. I started with the top legs and did the rest of the spider, and then went on to do the web.  For the spiders bodyI actually tied her hair in a knot. I wanted to give it a 3D effect. 

In the first pics I just put the loose hair in 2 side braid pigtails and threw in some ballies, We switched it up a few days later and added some beads. 

Chocolate Hair/Vanilla Care also did a take on our style doing flat rope twists instead of cornrows and it came out gorgeous. She goes into a little more detail on how she did the style so definitely check that out if your having difficulty recreating our style or if you prefer flat rope twists over cornrows.

A few days later we took out the 2 large braids and did some singles with beads instead. She wore her hair this way until we were ready to take it down.

I know a lot of you are probably wondering what that blue and black thing is in her hair so let me just tell you it's a hair wrap. We had put it in a week or so before doing this style so I just worked around it. Anyways, that's a post for another time.
