My Tousled Hair Routine





My hair has been a main topic of conversation since the minute I was born. You could say that's my thing. I was born with a full head of thick black hair; a trait, I have passed down to my daughter. As I got older, my hair developed a natural wave. My wavy hair made it so I could hold a curl, easily straighten, or leave it be for a nice beachy wave. Since giving birth, my hair seems to have lost some of its bounce. My hair is still thick and shiny, but my waves have really died down. I have one large wave on the top half of my hair that makes a kink and the bottom half rapidly gets wavier. It's not a cute look for me, but I mostly rock a bun these days anyway. I got sick of straightening my hair whenever I wanted a quick tame, so I came up with an easy way to fake that effortlessly tousled look. Bonus: No heat needed!

Wet Brush Pro Detangle Hair Brush, Metallic Purple
https://www.amazon.com/SUDZZFX-Zenyth-Frizz-Eliminator-Fl/dp/B0015GJ1K8/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1518113983&sr=8-1&keywords=sudzz+zenyth+frizz+eliminator These are the products I love!



  1. Brush your hair before you shower to get out any snarls
  2. Wash your hair like normal. 
  3. Use a Wet Brush to farther detangle while your conditioner sits
  4. After you rinse, dry your hair with a towel
  5. Apply wave-enhancing creme
  6. Wrap your hair in a towel and twist as tight as you can
  7. Leave your hair wrapped as long as you can stand it - I do 15-20 minutes
  8. Apply anti-frizz serum and finger comb through your hair
  9. Scrunch your hair from tip to root while it drys
  10. Part your hair on the opposite parting side while it drys - for added volume

That's it! My hair looks the best day two and three after I do this; a little bedhead and finger combing never hurt! I'd love to see your tousled locks, tag me on Instagram using the hashtags  #roxytries #tousledhair and #fingercomber - for good measure.

Sephora Holy Grail Beauty Products

*I'm able to earn a small commission when you shop through my links. This in no way affects the way I feel about these products. Thank you for your support!* It's that wonderful time of year my friends where Sephora is having their semi-annual sales event! This sale is a big deal, because Sephora doesn't have sales very often, and they usually only last a short period of time.

I know from experience it can be overwhelming when shopping at Sephora with how many brands and products they offer from all different price points. I've rounded up my all-time favorite, ride-or-die, Sephora beauty products that I've counted on for years. If you're curious about how the sale works, check out the image down below.

DR. JART+ Shake & Shot Rubber Masks

Welcome to my very first literal Roxy Tries post! One of my goals for this blog is to review skincare and makeup. I love trying new beauty products and why not give you the tea  as they say, on the new products I try! The first thing I'm trying out is the Shake & Shot Rubber Masks by DR. JART+. I ordered these the day they came out from Sephora. I love how fun they look and I've never tried a rubber mask before. These Korean rubber masks are typically mixed in a spa, but now you can do them at home. What originally drew me into these masks is the cute packaging. I know, it's not about the packaging but these are seriously adorable! I have heard how good their rubber sheet masks are, and these are the second generation of that original mask. They are one-time use for $12 which I think is a fair price for a high-end face mask. They offer four different masks each targeting different needs. I thought I'd get all four to see if there's a real difference between ...

Cut Crease for Hooded Eyes

I'll admit, I found eyeshadow to be intimidating ever since I've started playing around with makeup. It wasn't until Jaclyn Hill announced her eyeshadow palette collab with Morphe last spring, did I get excited about eyeshadow again. I bought the palette, along with her Morphe favorites brush set and I was determined to learn how to do good eye looks. I watch countless tutorials, read articles and even practiced with friends. I did get more comfortable with my blending ability, but my eye makeup never looked like the makeup gurus I see all over social media. It wasn't until I starting taking eye look photos of my own, did I realize the problem. I have hooded eyes, with tons of landscape above my brow bone. Whenever I wore eyeshadow, it'd look nice, but you could barely see it with my eyes open. Whenever I felt adventurous and added color above my brow bone, I looked like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show. My eyeshadow was either very subtle or very bold, w...
