The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Wig Lovers

It’s still hard to believe that the Christmas season is quickly approaching. I know you guys are all searching for the perfect gifts to give. I’ve been really big on protective styling and wig wearing this year so it’s only right that I compile a holiday gift guide, specifically for wig lovers!

You guys should feel so special. I spent hours perusing various Facebook Groups, visiting beauty supply stores, and asking tons of wig fanatics what they hoped to receive this Christmas season. I promise you, this is the latest and greatest when it comes to wigs, wig tools, wig accessories and other cute items to compliment your wig look.

Application

I don’t think you can mention wigs without mentioning a wig head… or at least that’s what I call it! This is the perfect tool to help you prep your wig before you move it to your head.

While we here, let me mention the wig grip. I just found out about these not too long ago. The wig grip is used on top of the stocking cap to securely keep the wig in place without the use of glue.

If you’re into using glue, then I highly recommend the Got2B Glued Styling Gel. It’s strong enough to hold your wig in place, but still pretty safe for your edges. I swear by the styling gel as well as the Got2B Blasting Freeze Spray.

Styling

My go to item for wigs is definitely my classic Chi Flat Iron (don’t forget the Chi Style and Stay Hairspray). Tried and true, I’ve had this thing for years! When this one decides to kick the bucket, I’ll be getting the digital Chi Titanium Flat Iron shown here. I love that it has a 3 second heat up and it shows you the exact temperature being used.

You can’t have a straightener without having ways to put curls back into your hair. I love using the big barreled curling wands. They make the most beautiful, luscious curls. You can check the Xtava Twist digital curling wand out here. They even throw in a thermal glove to protect your fingers.

Bobby pins are always great when doing an updo or for holding curls in place. If you have a straight wig, then be sure to grab a Bed Head Wax Stick to tame your flyaways. Wax sticks in windy weather are everything!

Accessories

When I wear my wig, I think it’s necessary to create a full on glam look. You can’t have one without the other… so, I like to glam it up with cute earrings, flamboyant eyeshadow, and wispy mink lashes!

I think I’ve mentioned pretty much everything. If there’s something that I missed, let me know in the comments below. Until then, happy gifting!

I Tried An Infrared Sauna in Houston

Houston has a new Infrared Sauna Spa! I was eager to give it a try and see what it was all about. If anyone is skeptical about any and everything, it’s me!

I had to get first hand details on this place. Read on more to hear my experience with the session.

I was recently invited out to a local infrared sauna in Houston, called The ShapeRoom. At first I was really skeptical because I’d never heard of anything like it before. I mean, this is the day and age of scams and quick fixes–so it was only right for me to be apprehensive.

“The moment that I stepped into the sauna spa, I felt a sense of calm overcoming me.”

The spa rests almost hidden in a low traffic area of Houston’s River Oaks District. The moment that I stepped into the sauna spa, I felt a sense of calm overcoming me. The ambiance was so tranquil, from the lighting, to the aroma, to the energy and the owner’s pleasant personality.

Elaina, the manager, gave me a tour of the infrared sauna spa and explained to me the process and benefits of the infrared body wrap. At this point, I felt reassured and ready to try it out!

My session started off with a a dry brushing over my torso. This exfoliates the skin, increases collagen production, and improves vascular blood circulation to the surface of the skin. This process helps diminish the appearance of cellulite.

After this, she applied her proprietary firming gel (ShapeUp). The gel firms and burns fat. Yes, you can go in and purchase a bottle for use in your home. She recommended using the gel under a sweat belt, waist trainer, faja or girdle for increased results.

She wrapped me up and then placed me in the infrared sauna bed. My skin felt very cool at first, but it quickly started to warm up. After all of that, I was ready to go under!

What Are The Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy?

burn 600-2500 calories
relieve pain and joint stiffness
drastically reduce cellulite
detox waste and impurities
improve immune system
improve blood circulation
increased clarity
whole body rejuvenation

How Do You Prepare For Your Infrared Sauna Session?

You can prepare for your session by making sure you are adequately hydrated. Make sure you eat prior to your infrared sauna session, as infrared therapy increases your metabolism.

During my session, I had on a full face of makeup. Make sure you remove your makeup before getting on the table. If not, it just ends up sweating off. I brought an extra set of undies with me to put on after my post session shower.

How Will You Feel After The Infrared Sauna?

During my session, I was able to relax and reflect. It was so peaceful! After my session, I felt like I had just done a full on workout. I was literally drenched in sweat! It was such a relief to disrobe and jump into a cool shower, which they had at the spa.

It’s difficult to describe what I felt mentally. If you meditate, then you know the feeling… absolute clarity. I can definitely see myself coming here weekly. I think it’s also worthy to note that I lost 3 lbs.
