Y'all, I am so excited about today's post, because I've got a little hair makeover for you! Since spring is on the way, I thought it was time to freshen up my hair. I've had really dark hair for the past couple of years, so I decided to lighten things up and show how I quickly curl my hair. Have you thought about changing your hair for spring? It's so easy, thanks to  Schwarzkopf Keratin Color.

I chose Schwarzkopf Keratin Color--isn't it pretty? This is Intense Cocoa 4.6.

I purchased mine at Walmart. So why did I choose this one?

I chose the Keratin Color because it offers 100% gray coverage. I went gray in my 20s (thanks genetics) so to find something that actually covers my gray is a miracle. I really love the pre-treatment step in this for an even color result.

Let's get into a little before and after. Here's a before.

And here's my after! I love how the Schwarzkopf Keratin Color gives me less hair breakage too. The color is so intense and gorgeous. Plus, the kit was easy to use! But back to the less hair breakage: that's a must since I curl my hair. Speaking of, here's how I get my quick curls:

You'll need--

1.5 in curling iron

brush or comb

texturizing spray

I like to comb or brush my hair and separate it in half. And then I like to grab about 1 inch sections and work from the back to the front. I'm showing the sides because it was easier to take a pic of.  

For the first section, flip the curling iron so the barrel is facing up and the clip is at the bottom, as shown above.

I like to leave the tail of the section out and clamp and roll the iron to my roots. I hold mine for 10 seconds. Release curl and let cool.

For the next section of hair, make sure the curling iron clip is up--the opposite of how you did it before. This will make the curl go away from your face. Repeat the step of 10 seconds for heat.

See how the curls look and how they are opposite of each other? This assures that your curls will stay separated. 

Once curls have cooled, I like to separate them with my fingers to break up the curls and lightly mist them and scrunch with a texturizing spray. It makes them a little messier, which I love!
