[Review] Areyaa’s Kinky Curly Review and Tips.

Taren from Areyaa is one of my favorite YouTube vloggers, with her honest and thorough reviews of some of the most talked about products in the beauty world.  One of her most viewed videos is this one right here – a personal experience review of the Kinky- Curly Curling Custard.  You may have seen my quickie comparison video I did, but Taren took it to the next level.  As someone who was afraid to put the product in her hair, I was really curious to see what Taren had to say.  Turns out, she absolutely loved it…and moved it to the top of her list [just like I did] surpassing Mixed Chicks.

TIPS FROM THE VIDEO -

  • Never mix Kinky Curly Curling Custard with any other products, especially if they have glycerin. You will not get the same result….not even close.
  • To create a round shape and avoid the flat slope effect at the crown, pin both sides together with a bobby pin for at least 1 hour.  This will force the hair into a shape that ‘sticks up’, creating  more volume and a rounded shape.

J.F. Lazartigue Hair & Scalp Analysis

Recently Beauty Collection Calabasas held their Beauty 101 Event, an all day beauty extravaganza. J.F. Lazartigue was in attendance, administering their cutting edge Hair & Scalp Analysis tool – the Numeric Hair Analyzer. The two part system is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, using a laptop and large microscope tool to produce an on the spot hair prescription.

How does it work?

Working in conjunction with a J.F. Lazartigue specialist, the service begins with one single hair tweezed from the root and placed in a small plate [just like the ones from Science class].  Then, your hair appears on the screen, magnified 50 – 160 times to get a clear view of what’s going on.

At this point, the specialist is able to ‘check your symptoms.’  Is your hair damaged or dry?  Are you washing enough?  Are there both thin and thick areas?  Believe it or not, all of that info is obtained from that one, single hair and a quick once over with the mobile scope.
