The Mid-Wave
Queen B's Beyhive made her asymmetrical long bob the number one most requested cut this year. This look gives a edgy, but chic style if you are interested in switching up your wavy look. A wedge of the back gives her hair a "little bit of volume," while the 45-degree angle to the front helps to elongate the face. Try mixing and matching any of our wavy textures to achieve Beyonce's look.

Step it Up, Gladiator!
Who doesn't love a stylish, cool, yet comfortable sandal for the summer. Gladiator sandals have become so popular this summer and compliment any outfit well. These sandals can be dressed up for an evening out or worn casually with your favorite pair of shorts.
How To: Sun-Kissed Glow
Glowing skin is what summer is all about, but you don't have to risk sun damage to achieve a bronzed complexion. Here are 5 tips for bronzing success:
- Bronzer should be lightly applied all over your face .
- Pick the right color. You should not choose from a line that only has one bronzer. The correct product should be two to three shades darker than your facial skin. Use a sponge or applicator to apply the bronzer to the top of your arm. The inside of your arm is too pale to tell if it is the right color. If it blends into your arm, you've got a winner!
- Powder for most skin types will give it a matte velvety look. All bronzers should be matte, not shimmer. An all-over shimmer will flatten your face, not highlight the key features.
- Applicator is key! For powder bronzer, dip a large brush into the loose powder and tap off the excess. For liquid or gel bronzers, dispense a small amount of the product to the tip of your fingers and then pat your fingers and palms together until the product is dispersed evenly. Take your time when applying bronzer and you will end with a beautifully bronzed look.
- To achieve the total sun-kissed look, add a bit of blush. Apply a brighter pink or coral color to the apples of your cheeks. Use cream for dry skin types. This is the completing step makeup artists use to obtain a perfect glam glow.
Heatless Blending Methods
We know that one of the biggest challenges for some of our Curlfriends is blending curly extensions with hair to create a natural-looking style without using heat styling tools. Here are a few ways to achieve that flawless finish on your curly install!
For more heavily textured hair, you may want to try a braid out or a twist out or a bantu knot out that incorporates both your natural hair and the extensions. The most important part about blending your leave out with your extensions is making sure that both of the curl patterns are identical. You can also use flexi-rods for a looser curly style!
