Curls ANYTIME ANYWHERE...with Conair

Wednesday, November 13, 2019



I have curly hair naturally but I started straightening it when I was in college. I recently have started to try to get back my curls. However, after so many years of straightening it, it has been a slow process and I still have to style the top of my hair. 






I got to try the new Conair UNBOUND Cordless Auto-Curler- when I read the word CORDLESS, I was sold.  UNBOUND is the first high performance cordless, rechargeable auto curler. Curls, anytime anywhere? I’m there.  PLUS with my baby following me around trying to grab cords, I also feel it’s safer using the UNBOUND.














How does it work? 

Your hair is automatically drawn into the ceramic easy-glide coated curl chamber where it is held and heated from all directions. The ceramic surface helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies for added shine. Then you release for your perfect curl, and repeat that process all around your hair.

You can control the temperature: for tighter curls, select a higher temperature.

You also can control the direction of the curl: I personally like curls that flow away from your face (Right curl direction for your left side, and Left curl direction for your right side). 

Finally, you can control the time that it curls for. Select a longer time for a tighter curl, and a shorter time for a looser curl.

Then recharge if needed so it’s ready to curl the next time you need it. It can be used cord-free for up to an hour!





How I use it? 

My vanity area does not have a plug around, so it’s been amazing to finally get ready there instead of the bathroom. Like I mentioned, I curl medium-sized strands of hair from the top of my head(I let the rest air dry). 

As you can see the curls I get with the curler are beautiful. I let them cool down (I might finish my makeup while they cool); and then I brush them up with my fingers so they are not as perfectly done.

And that’s it! I have a feeling this will be a lifesaver more than once because I can do my hair literally ANYWHERE!



Would you try it? Where would you take your cordless curler!!

BEAUTY: How I'm trying to get my natural curls back

Thursday, September 6, 2018




My hair was naturally curly; so much straightening over the years has soften the wave. I did a keratin treatment almost a decade ago. I really miss my natural texture; especially because I think I didn't know how to style it back them.

I've been trying to wear my hair as natural as possible from time to time to get my curl back. Also this little routine saves me a lot of time. Hey, sleepy mamas raise your hands! Keep reading to see how I did the curls in the main picture!

    Mi cabello es naturalmente rizado. Pero después de tantos años planchándolo, la onda se ha suavizado mucho. Pero últimamente quiero recuperar mi rizo, y eso significa darle un descanso a la plancha lo más que pueda . En el colegio siempre llevaba mis rizos al natural; pero no solo los productos han mejorado enormemente desde el 2006 si no también creo que yo no sabía como peinarlo.


    Esta rutina que les comparto abajo para lograr los rizos/ondas de arriba también me ayudan mucho cuando estoy apura. Como una mami nueva, no tengo demasiado tiempo para plancharme o rizarme el cabello y esta rutina me toma menos tiempo.


    All about TEXTURED HAIR…with AG Hair

    Saturday, October 1, 2016




    I recently chopped my hair again, even shorter this time around. Personally, I don’t like romantic curls on short hair…they just feel a little cheesy- at least ON ME.

    For me, to make short hair modern and fun, it should be all about TEXTURE!

    I love trying out new beauty products and finding new favorites. Recently I tried out a new line from AG Hair called: TEXTURE. I’ve been using them since “the chop” more than a month ago, and I’ve been getting tons of compliments and questions on how I get my hair to be “effortless”.

    How to do my everyday waves? ...with Sally Beauty

    Tuesday, October 6, 2015



    Hey girls! I’ve done many tutorials over the past 5 years I have been blogging…from Old-Hollywood waves to fishtail buns. However, I think I have never done my everyday waves…which, I get tons of questions about.

    After my favorite curling iron broke, I headed to my local Sally Beauty for a new one. After careful consideration, I went for the “Hot Shot Tools XL Ceramic Curling Iron 1 1/4 Inch”. I’ve heard great reviews about it and I wanted to share not only my first impression of the wand but also a quick tutorial on how I’ve been doing my hair with it for the past few weeks.

    HAIR TUTORIAL!

    Thursday, June 14, 2012





    Ok first of all I want to say sorry to all my non-spanish-speaking readers because this video is completely in Spanish (I might add subtitles if you girls like the idea). The video is basically explaining how I do my daily waves, it's very easy and all you need to know is that I use a clipless curling iron on CLEAN hair and I don't apply any product afterwards so they don't fall. I believe products, since they have water/alcohol, they really mess the wave instead of holding it! Let me know if you like the idea about the subtittles, I'm a little shy talking in front of a camera in English but I would try doing a couple in English too! XOXO

    Como muchas saben, hace un tiempo -creo que dos años- hacía uno que otro video en youtube; y me han preguntado tanto como hacer las ondas que siempre llevo en el blog que era más fácil explicarles en un video. Si han visto los videos en mi canal de FCF, saben que nunca hablaba- sino que hacía "voice-overs" (que grabas y luego le pones la voz encima). Este formato es mucho más largo pero considero que es más personal y  más fácil al explicar- si prefieren los videos cortitos y al grano, díganme.... quise experimentar con este a ver que les parecía! Es mi primer video de este tipo, pero poco a poco se me fue yendo a la pena!  Espero que les guste el video y que sencillo de hacer. Yo les recomendé esa rizadora pero pueden hacerlo con cualquier marca, el resultado es el mismo. Un abrazo grandísimo!
