]]>So what is brow lamination? Brow Lamination is a non-medical chemical procedure used to lift the brows so that the appear fuller. The brow lift is achieved using a brow lamination perm (initially) and a brow lamination glue (aftercare). Brow lamination is pretty much a perm for your eyebrows 😂.
When a chemical (perm) is used, a brow lamination can last between 6-8 weeks. The time that the brow lamination lasts also depends on the oiliness of the skin (similar like getting micro-blading your eyebrows). The oilier the skin, the shorter the brow lamination effect may last.
Brow lamination is typically safe if you have normal skin, however anyone with sensitive skin with any concerns probably should avoid this kind of treatment to avoid any potential irritation.
Considering brow lamination uses a perm, you're probably wondering what "brow lamination gone wrong" looks like. Brow Lamination can go wrong for a few reasons but going to someone who doesn't know what they're doing is one of them.
Anyone who provides personal services that could pierce the skin are required to obtain a personal service settings licence (at least in Toronto). This doesn't mean however that the person is certified* to perform brow lamination (since that's only required for hair styling), so I strongly urge that you go to a reputable location with trained aestheticians (look at the reviews).

]]>Now I'm not too sure why purple hair is trending, but I can't say I've seen it too often! Many 2022 predictions have been telling us that the pink aesthetic (mostly pastel pink) is what will make moves, but the data is speaking with purple hair trending with 316K global searches (138K of that traffic being searched just from the United states alone).
The purple hair trend is simply having purple hair! There's a few different ways you can achieve purple hair and here's how...
If you're ready to go all-in and not afraid of using a little colour, try getting some purple hair dye! The best thing to do when using hair dye on your natural hair, is to try to choose one with the least amount of chemicals as possible (or hair dye that caters to thick hair).
We suggest sourcing out a reputable hair salon that knows how to work with black hair; a good way to find a black hair salon is by looking for salons that work with curly hair.
The safest alternative to dying your hair purple is by using a purple temporary hair colour!

You can always go to your fav drugstore and grab a box of temporary (or semi-permanent) purple hair dye, but a safe bet is coloured hair wax (AKA hair paint). Since coloured hair wax was trending in the past couple years (and still going with some curly hair influencers), you might still be able to grab purple hair wax safe enough for natural hair.
The other way to do this is by using a purple hair spray! I've definitely tried hair sprays in the past however it can be a little messy. If you're looking to try this out, check out this youtube video.
Now this is probably the easiest and safest way to get purple hair: wearing a wig! If you're looking for a quick fix, jump on Amazon and grab a cheap purple hair wig. But if you're going for luxury, search on Instagram or TikTok for purple hair wigs.
Now that you have a few options for trying out purple hair on yourself, see what method works best for you :)

Vagina + Facial = Vajacial
Knowing that, you could imagine what that routine consists of...
It's a spa day for your cooch and tbh, it sounds kinda great 😂
If you're not comfortable "bussin' it wide open" (all exposed) infront of a certified aesthetician, then maybe doing a Do-It-Yourself Vajacial (in the comfort of your own home aka personal vajacial spa) might be a better option.
Alright, well if you wanted to know how you could give yourself a vajacial (maybe even a weekly vajacial routine), this is your sign!
Go search "vajacial near me" in Google and see what you find :)

Tips:
If natural products aren't doing the trick, go for something more heavy duty like these superstar ingredients: Salicylic Acid (unclogs pores and reduces inflammation) & Benzoyl Peroxide (kills bacteria). However when in doubt, see your family doctor or Dermatologist.
