Tutorial | Bouncy "Cloud Nine" Curls

To know your hair, is to love your hair and to love my hair means that you don't mind getting a face full of hair everytime you hug me. If you remember my CloudNine event post in April, then you will already be familiar with Cloud Nine "Know Your Hair, Love Your Hair" Slogan and their campaign to educate women about their hair types and the best ways to protect it during heat styling.

I've been lucky enough to be given their Micro Wand (RRP. £89.95) to recreate their Kelly Rowland Curl Tutorial. Now while I love Kelly Rowland and her hair with a passion, I honestly didn't have the time to do the micro curls that she flawlessly sports but I still did my best to give my 'fro the best curls I could in a 2 hour time limit.

I'm going to do a full review on the wand later on in the week but I just couldn't resist giving you a gif-tutorial with my cute curls *whips hair back and forth* As always if my gif-torial isn't clear or I missed anything out let me know and I might just make a You-tube video tutorial to show you how I did this

Also, you may have already noticed, but it is that time of the year again.... It is the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards!  This is my first time of signing up for these awards so I would be REALLY, REALLY grateful if you could take five minutes to nominate Epiphannie A in the Established Beauty Blog category. I have been loving sharing my zany self all over the beauty blogosphere for the past two years and it would mean the world to me to be nominated for this at least once

Thank you in advance!

Know Your Hair, Love Your Hair

To promote their new  “Know Your Hair, Love Your Hair” campaign; designed to educate women about their hair type and how to best protect it during heat styling. Cloud Nine Haircare hosted their very first bloggers event at the Trevor Sorbie Salon.

As overusing heating tools (regardless of how much protection you put in your hair) can leave it very dry, lackluster and brittle. Knowing this Cloud Nine has redeveloped their website to give customers an interactive and engaging experience. Using a 6-step online questionnaire, Cloud Nine customers identify their hair types and follow an interactive program of styling care tips and recommendations for their hair’s optimum temperature level.

At the blogger’s event,  Cloud Nine demonstrated 6 different celebrity inspired hair looks using their products. The stand out for me was the “MicroWand” (RRP. £89.95) which is perfect to get Kelly Rowland Curls (and you know how much I adore Kelly Rowland) and also small enough to pop into your handbag or suitcase for travelling. Marin looked so amazing with her curly ‘Fro after the staff at Trevor Sorbie were through with her AND I’m quite proud that I resisted the temptation to pet her hair because it looked sooooo soft!!!!!

The Core Cloud Nine Electrical Styling Range holds 9 styling products. The Irons (Original, Wide and Micro) which are ceramic plated straightening irons with a one-touch, variable temperature control that can be used on long to short hair lengths. The O pods and rollers which where introduced in 2012 and are fast heating rollers that heats the hair from the inside out for longer lasting curls and of course the Wands (Original, Waving and Micro) which are designed for a beautifully formed curl or wave for short to long lengths.
