1. What is your haircut called?
I currently have a grown out bob style haircut. It is just past my shoulders at this point. I normally grow my hair out really long, then cut most off and donate it to locks of love. If you are interested in donating your hair please feel free to ask.
2. What size curling iron do you use, and what brand?
I use a Hot tools 1 1/4 barrel clip less curling iron. I love it because it heats up quickly!
4. Do I prefer the clip less curling iron over the normal style curling iron?
I actually prefer the clip less curling iron at the moment. I simply feel that I can control my curling a lot more using this type. I will say that it is a very different, than using the normal curling iron. If you need any help please just ask.
3. What kind of Flat Iron do you use?
I use a Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium curling iron, however I have used many other brands. Normally you can buy two of these off Amazon for the about $100, which is cheaper than one Chi iron. Chi is a great brand, but after replacing my last one twice, I felt it was time for a change. I personally love this iron, for a breakdown on this iron and the Chi iron check out this post: http://southernbeautyguide.blogspot.com/2012/08/30×30-things-i-just-cant-live-without.html
4. How to blow dry your hair with a reduction in damage?
I know that it may seem quicker to blow dryer your hair on high heat, but NEVER do this! It causes way to much damage to your hair. an example, have you ever wondered why washing your hair in cold water vs hot water makes a difference? Well it is because hot water & air both dry out & damage your hair. This may not be something you notice, but trust me I have dealt with it all when it comes to hair. Another thing is makes sure you blow dry from the root to the ends. If you have any further questions please ask!
5. Where can you buy great bobby pins of different sizes?
I usually get mine at either Wal-Mart or Sally’s Beauty Supply. Sally’s tends to have a larger variety of sizes.
6. Where can I buy the products you talk about on your blog?
First, most of the time when I review a product on my blog I tell you where to purchase it. Honestly, most of the products can be purchased through your hair stylist. For the rest of stuff I often purchase them through Ebay or Amazon. It really depends on what it is and where I can find a deal.
7. Am I a certified Hair Stylist?
No I am not. I am a makeup artist, I have done many pagents, weddings, and other events where I have done hair and makeup. These are all skills I have gained through experience, I would have went to school but my career aspirations are to be a Lawyer.
8. You never mention heat protective sprays in your blog. Do you use them?
Truthfully, I the best heat protectant that I have used comes from Kenra. I will review more in time, just ask if you are looking for a high-end or a drugstore heat protectant.
9. What kind of Bobby Pins do you use?
I use Diane Brand bobby pins that are purchased at the professional supply stores. Ask your stylist to get you some!
10. Can you do makeup tutorials?
This comment usually comes from those that know me, because I am known for doing great eye makeup. Currently I am not doing any videos, but will do tutorials upon request.
11. How often should you wash your hair?
It really depends on your hair, if you use a lot of products everyday then it is okay to wash your hair daily. I personally never let my hair go unwashed for more than a day.
12. How often should I use a deep conditioner?
If you are damaging your hair by dye or heat, then I would recommend that you do this. I recommend Redken Anti-snap, if you see that your hair is breaking off. I will say that you will not need to do this as much if you use a really great shampoo.
Makeup Related Questions:
1. What is your favorite makeup brand?
I currently am slightly obsessed with Urban Decay and MAC, but it really varies on whether it is foundation, eye shadow, blush, eyeliner, etc. If you ask me specific questions I can give you a list!
2. What kind of skin do you have?
I have really oily skin, that is about a beige to honey color. I have to be really careful what kind of makeup I use to keep it from sliding down my face. It seems that the only good news about my skin type is that the oil with delay wrinkles.
3. What kind of foundation is great for those that have Acne problems?
Oil free is a must, but I have found that Clinique is a great brand. They have a line that is specifically for those that have Acne issues, called Acne Solution I think.
4. How to you get all the palette that you have?
I personally pay for every palette that is in my collection. I usually get them from the brand site such as Urban Decay, Hautelook, Sephora, Ulta, etc.
5. How can I get a deal on an Urban Decay eye shadow?
I seriously suggest that you look on EBAY for old Urban Decay palettes. You most of the time can find the color you are looking for in a palette for a price that is less than or close to the price of the single color from Urban Decay. When you purchase a palette you are getting more bang for your buck!
6. Do you use false eyelashes & What kind do you use?
Sometimes I do. It normally depends on what occasion it is! I love the Ardell Demi-Wispeys! I do not believe in paying a lot for false eyelashes.

8. What is the SBG Awards?
These are the Southern Beauty Guide Awards. This is an event I am hosting at the end of this year that will detail what products are hot, and what products are not! I think this is a great tool in promoting great products and helps you not spend money on awful products that fail!
