So there's a new gel polish that you don't need a UV light for and it last. Its called "Miracle gel" by Sally Hansen. Its a two polish system and works extremely well. I tried the 120 Bare Dare which is like a nude or taupe color for $7.49 each on Ulta's website. I put about 3 coats on the make the color more vibrant. I also used Sinful Colors number 1391 "Gold Tinsel" on my ring fingers to add a little shimmer and pop to my mani. That one only cost $1.99 at Walgreens. Both product work very well together and look amazing. It also is a great feeling to save money, bye bye no chip manicures. I give both products two thumbs up and be sure to pick them up immediately!

We all know the old saying "anything that's easy isn't worth having". Well I'm here to prove that wrong. There are some very simple and easy methods to wear your hair extensions and it will look all natural. This method is called the sew in with leave out.
Some women chose to wear a sew in because they are natural and its less maintenance. While some women wear them because their hair is thinning or has always been thin. Others wears sew ins tochange the legnth to short or longer. Sew ins create more volume and a fuller look and can make you feel more confident.
Many celebrities have been using this method for many years. Your sew in will look as if it is growing from your scalp. And oh, the many things you can do with it... You can wear it in a bun, a ponytail and the list goes on and on. One install can last anywhere from 2 to 3 months depending on how well you take care of it. Everyone loves the convenience of not having to go to the salon every two weeks and also saving a few bucks.
So I'm excited today to show you how to install a sew in. Here's what you'll need to get started:
1. Braid your hair in a braiding pattern to create a base. Section off you leave out which will more than likely be in the top front of your head and maybe around your edges if you plan on pulling it up from time to time.
There is no specific braid pattern that works for everyone. Each style varies and each clients hair and head is different.
2. Place your hair net over your head and sew down the perimeter. If you choose to not use a net thats fine. (You do have the option to use a net for better security and a more flatter look or not. Some people like to get to their scalps for washing and oiling, in that case no net will be needed.)
3. Begin sewing the bundle of hair on to the bottom and work your way to the top crown of your head using the flip over method. (Flip over method means do not cut your tracks just flip them over at the end of each row and continue sewing in the opposite direction)
4. Cut and style hair using your flat iron/curling tool and your done.
The hair we used is 2 bundles of 14 inch Indian body wave from msboomboomroom.com
5. Last, flip your hair and remember girls just wanna have fun.

U-part wigs are a simpler way to achieve the look of a full sew-in, in a fraction of the time. Many celebrities from Beyoncé to Nicki Minaj and many others use this method because its easy to switch looks.
Women find the U-Part Wig to be more convenient because unlike a full sew-in, each individual track does not have to be sewn directly on to your head.
Things you'll need to get this look -thread -weave -marker (white or other light color) -scissors -mannequin head -hooked needles
1. You should braid a base for the wig to be sewn to. This is the braid pattern I used.
2. Open your wig cap. Mine had small straps in the back for easy adjusting. I got it from Sally's for $3.99.
3. On the cap, clearly mark the area (after measuring to your head) where you would like your leave to be.
4. Begin sewing your bundles from the bottom (nape) of the cape and work your way up. You'll want to use the flip over method so not to damage the weave wefts. Continue to sew the tracks to the cap until you reach the marked area.
5. Cut the marked "u-part" out for your leave out.
6. Apply the wig to your head and begin to sew it to the perimeter or edge of your head.
7. Style your leave out over the wig and BOOM you're done.
