Absolutely loved having straight hair for a few da Absolutely loved having straight hair for a few days! Well, my signature boho bends is as straight as I like to go - this was how I wore my hair almost all the time before I started on my healthy, curly hair journey.

And I've finally reached my length goal! The colour is perfection too - I'm going to be sharing more about that in this weekends blog post so if you have any colour related questions pop them in the comments.

Just to be clear though, I only wear my hair like this a couple of times a year. And I'm only able to do this because my hair is super healthy. If you're just at the start of your healthy, curly hair journey I would NOT recommend using heat styling tools at all for the first year! 

I achieved this look using my @babylissprouk curling tong, which I've had for years! Still going strong, mostly from the lack of use! 

As nice as the change was, I can't wait to rock my curls again tomorrow. Swipe to see my natural curls.

Also, HELLO NEW FOLLOWERS! And a massive thank you to @louisemcsharry for the kind words and story mentions over the last couple of days. When can we play dress up, I'll do your hair if you do my makeup? X

Back to work tomorrow, get the lippy out girls! Ho Back to work tomorrow, get the lippy out girls! How are we all feeling about going back to work, lockdown, crazy numbers, Christmas,New Year etc...I'm anxious AF and don't feel at all ready for it!

I developed a really good morning ritual last March and am proud to say I've kept it up ever since - let me know if you'd like me to share that....but first thing after my morning ritual tomorrow is to wash my hair, can't actually remember the last time I did that 🥴 and then put on a fierce bold lip and tackle my inbox! 

1:1 Curl Clinics start back up this week, heat caps are still out of stock but hope to get back on that soon. I've got one big announcement in the next week or two which I'm really excited about. And then a HUGE announcement I'm even more excited / nervous / anxious about in February!

I didn't get my annual Favorite Products of the Year finished yet, didn't do a round up post - I didn't get around to so many things I planned in my head and wanted to do. This isn't what I planned for my first post of 2021 either but here we are! 

LMK if you're feeling all the anxious vibes too, and what you do to get your head out of holiday mode and back to business. Especially if you're a business owner! That would be massively appreciated.

Right, see you in the morning after coffee and a hair wash! Best of luck everyone.

After some very much needed down time after a week After some very much needed down time after a week from hell, today I got back at it, and started one of my many DIY plans around my home.

I've got all sorts planned for the kitchen, but in the mean time you can catch up with the daily DIY activities in my stories if you're interested in some DIY home transformation content.

There are tiles to be sealed, cupboards to be painted, cushions to be sewn,walls to be painted, shelves to be put up and styled - Always the fun part!

Are you interested in home content too? Or are you just here for the curl content? If you've any questions about my home,interiors or what DIY stuff I've got planned pop them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them x

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. The day s Merry Christmas from my family to yours. The day started off so well, full of excitement and anticipation. Thank goodness  I took these photos earlier because just a couple of hours after these were taken,  Donnchadh had a horrific accident and smashed his face into the tarmac having a go on his new ramp I got him for Christmas. 

His face is all grazed and cut, his eye is swollen and will most likely be closed over by the morning. He was badly winded and shaken but he's okay.

Honestly, I'm holding and carrying so much stress after everything that's happened in the past few days, I could cry. But not yet, because that's what we do, us mums. We keep it and hold it together for the sake of our kids. Until we can quietly fall to pieces when everyone else is looked after and no one is looking.

These pics are most definitely a case of a highlight reel for the gram, when the reality looks very, very different right now. But I'm so incredibly thankful and grateful that my little family and the ones I love the most are still here, safe and although not quite well, but on the mend at least.

Stay safe everyone, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays x
TréLuxe is BACK IN STOCK! It's been so long since TréLuxe is BACK IN STOCK!
It's been so long since I last posted on the grid I didn't know how to come back. So I figured I'd start by letting you know @discovertreluxe is back in stock at @naturalisticproducts who are based in the UK but ship worldwide.

This isn't a sponsored post, I don't have an affiliate link or discount code for them unfortunately. I'm just sharing the love as I know I've created so much hype around this brand this year, and so many of you are disappointed that they're always sold out.

I genuinely love this brand, especially their styling products. They've become my cult favourite, holy grail, most loved, most used of 2020! If they sell out on Naturalistic Products again, you can also shop them at @kiyobeauty and @houseofcurlsuk but again I've no affiliate links or discount codes.

For anyone in the USA, you can get 15% off the TréLuxe website using code CURLYCAILIN15. For my Canadian Curlies, you can shop at @curlwarehouse but again, no affiliate link or discount code.

I've added a swipe up in my stories to Naturalistic Products, and a link to my YouTube video of my styling routine using the Reflex Serum and Hi! Definition Gel, and I've also got a full review on my blog. You can always click the link in my bio to read/watch/shop any of my content.

Hope that helps!

Today has been such a positive and exciting day, f Today has been such a positive and exciting day, full of good news and even better things to come! What a way to start the first day of the last month of the year!

I've added a Gratitude & Support tab in the link in my bio. I get so many messages (especially lately) saying they can't believe how much FREE content I provide, how much my tips, advice, techniques and recommendations have helped and asking how can they show their gratitude by supporting me...

So if you click on the tab, it'll take you to my PayPal link where (and ONLY if you want to!) you can give a little token of thanks, appreciation, gratitude and support me, what I do, my content and platform.

Anything at all is, and will be, greatly appreciated and used to create more content, grow and evolve what I currently do, and to design, curate and create new products and services for you and this community. 

I have big plans, even bigger dreams and things I want to manifest and bring to this community and industry. I've briefly mentioned a few of them  in my monthly curl clinics and in my stories before. 

I'll put the link up on my stories tomorrow after my monthly Curl Clinic. So although they are FREE to join, if you found it helpful, informative or even just entertaining and would like to give anything, I would really appreciate it and show my gratitude for your support.

    Appreciate ya (:

      I’ve been on the growth journey for over a year now, and honestly, I think good quality hair vitamins are worth it. I’ve seen a huge amount of growth since I’ve been using them. You can get 10% off Hair369 vitamins using my code: CURLYCAILIN10. They are the one’s I’ve been using for about 8 months now. As for trims, I don’t believe getting regular trims every 6 weeks is the answer. I get my hair trimmed about once or twice a year. If you’re using quality products and looking after your hair, you shouldn’t need hair cuts more often than 2-3 times a year or less. Hope that helps x

          hmm… mushy hair = over moisturised hair. If your curls then drop and go limp, soft and frizzy over the next few days then you DEFINITELY have over moisturised hair! Check out this post on how to fix that: https://curlycailin.ie/protein-moisture-balance/

    The CURLYCAILINCYBER discount doesn’t seem to to work. For example, you say it gives you 35% off silke London turbans. They are listed as £40 atm (RRP £50) but when I put it in my basket and apply the code it is £34. Even if it is 35% off £50 it should be £32.50.

    Similar issue with tangle teezers – RRP £14 so 40% off should bring it to £8.40 but it’s £8.92 in my basket.

    What’s going on?

Absolutely loved having straight hair for a few da Absolutely loved having straight hair for a few days! Well, my signature boho bends is as straight as I like to go - this was how I wore my hair almost all the time before I started on my healthy, curly hair journey.

And I've finally reached my length goal! The colour is perfection too - I'm going to be sharing more about that in this weekends blog post so if you have any colour related questions pop them in the comments.

Just to be clear though, I only wear my hair like this a couple of times a year. And I'm only able to do this because my hair is super healthy. If you're just at the start of your healthy, curly hair journey I would NOT recommend using heat styling tools at all for the first year! 

I achieved this look using my @babylissprouk curling tong, which I've had for years! Still going strong, mostly from the lack of use! 

As nice as the change was, I can't wait to rock my curls again tomorrow. Swipe to see my natural curls.

Back to work tomorrow, get the lippy out girls! Ho Back to work tomorrow, get the lippy out girls! How are we all feeling about going back to work, lockdown, crazy numbers, Christmas,New Year etc...I'm anxious AF and don't feel at all ready for it!

I developed a really good morning ritual last March and am proud to say I've kept it up ever since - let me know if you'd like me to share that....but first thing after my morning ritual tomorrow is to wash my hair, can't actually remember the last time I did that 🥴 and then put on a fierce bold lip and tackle my inbox! 

1:1 Curl Clinics start back up this week, heat caps are still out of stock but hope to get back on that soon. I've got one big announcement in the next week or two which I'm really excited about. And then a HUGE announcement I'm even more excited / nervous / anxious about in February!

I didn't get my annual Favorite Products of the Year finished yet, didn't do a round up post - I didn't get around to so many things I planned in my head and wanted to do. This isn't what I planned for my first post of 2021 either but here we are! 

LMK if you're feeling all the anxious vibes too, and what you do to get your head out of holiday mode and back to business. Especially if you're a business owner! That would be massively appreciated.

Right, see you in the morning after coffee and a hair wash! Best of luck everyone.

After some very much needed down time after a week After some very much needed down time after a week from hell, today I got back at it, and started one of my many DIY plans around my home.

First one off the list: sealing my new kitchen tiles. Not just any tiles, gorgeous encaustic cement tiles from @best_tile_ @besttile.boutique I can't wait to share before and after with you! I've got all sorts planned for the kitchen, but in the mean time you can catch up with the daily DIY activities in my stories if you're interested in some DIY home transformation content.

There are tiles to be sealed, cupboards to be painted, cushions to be sewn,walls to be painted, shelves to be put up and styled - Always the fun part!

Are you interested in home content too? Or are you just here for the curl content? If you've any questions about my home,interiors or what DIY stuff I've got planned pop them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them x

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. The day s Merry Christmas from my family to yours. The day started off so well, full of excitement and anticipation. Thank goodness  I took these photos earlier because just a couple of hours after these were taken,  Donnchadh had a horrific accident and smashed his face into the tarmac having a go on his new ramp I got him for Christmas. 

His face is all grazed and cut, his eye is swollen and will most likely be closed over by the morning. He was badly winded and shaken but he's okay.

Honestly, I'm holding and carrying so much stress after everything that's happened in the past few days, I could cry. But not yet, because that's what we do, us mums. We keep it and hold it together for the sake of our kids. Until we can quietly fall to pieces when everyone else is looked after and no one is looking.

These pics are most definitely a case of a highlight reel for the gram, when the reality looks very, very different right now. But I'm so incredibly thankful and grateful that my little family and the ones I love the most are still here, safe and although not quite well, but on the mend at least.

Stay safe everyone, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays x
TréLuxe is BACK IN STOCK! It's been so long since TréLuxe is BACK IN STOCK!
It's been so long since I last posted on the grid I didn't know how to come back. So I figured I'd start by letting you know @discovertreluxe is back in stock at @naturalisticproducts who are based in the UK but ship worldwide.

This isn't a sponsored post, I don't have an affiliate link or discount code for them unfortunately. I'm just sharing the love as I know I've created so much hype around this brand this year, and so many of you are disappointed that they're always sold out.

I genuinely love this brand, especially their styling products. They've become my cult favourite, holy grail, most loved, most used of 2020! If they sell out on Naturalistic Products again, you can also shop them at @kiyobeauty and @houseofcurlsuk but again I've no affiliate links or discount codes.

For anyone in the USA, you can get 15% off the TréLuxe website using code CURLYCAILIN15. For my Canadian Curlies, you can shop at @curlwarehouse but again, no affiliate link or discount code.

I've added a swipe up in my stories to Naturalistic Products, and a link to my YouTube video of my styling routine using the Reflex Serum and Hi! Definition Gel, and I've also got a full review on my blog. You can always click the link in my bio to read/watch/shop any of my content.

Hope that helps!

Today has been such a positive and exciting day, f Today has been such a positive and exciting day, full of good news and even better things to come! What a way to start the first day of the last month of the year!

I've added a Gratitude & Support tab in the link in my bio. I get so many messages (especially lately) saying they can't believe how much FREE content I provide, how much my tips, advice, techniques and recommendations have helped and asking how can they show their gratitude by supporting me...

So if you click on the tab, it'll take you to my PayPal link where (and ONLY if you want to!) you can give a little token of thanks, appreciation, gratitude and support me, what I do, my content and platform.

Anything at all is, and will be, greatly appreciated and used to create more content, grow and evolve what I currently do, and to design, curate and create new products and services for you and this community. 

I have big plans, even bigger dreams and things I want to manifest and bring to this community and industry. I've briefly mentioned a few of them  in my monthly curl clinics and in my stories before. 

I'll put the link up on my stories tomorrow after my monthly Curl Clinic. So although they are FREE to join, if you found it helpful, informative or even just entertaining and would like to give anything, I would really appreciate it and show my gratitude for your support.
