3 Reasons 360 frontal wigs are so popular

360 frontal wigs are becoming increasingly popular in the beauty industry and among many young girls and women. These wigs go all around your head, allowing you to style your hair all around and not just the front giving your hair a natural look and hairline.

360 Frontal Wigs
360 frontal wigs are not like any other regular wigs and even though they are sometimes confused with lace closures, these two are not the same. A lace closure can be used to make a wig since the closure only covers a portion of the head. But, sometimes 360 frontal wigs are considered closures. However, they both create a natural looking and flawless hairline.

Great for protective styles
360 frontal wigs are quite versatile and allow you to set up different hairstyles. Because the full lace base allows the wig to be parted anywhere on the head, these wigs can be worn in any style, be it a ponytail or just left to hang on your shoulders. This makes it look real, amazing, natural on almost everyone and it’s also sufficiently protective.

Most 360 frontal wigs either come pre-plucked or you can pre-pluck them yourself. Due to this, you can easily braid/cornrow it, wrap, or flatten the hair providing you with different styling options. But, when installing and styling, try and flatten your hair as flat as possible for a more natural look. This improves how the wig finally looks on your head when it’s styled.

Although you will find some synthetic types, most 360 frontal wigs are 100% human hair, therefore, you can use curling and flat irons the way you do with your natural hair. However, limit using hot hair tools since the hair can get damaged due to overheating. If possible, just set the hair and let it air dry.

Easy to install
You have two ways in which you can install a 360 frontal wig, you can opt to use an adhesive/glue or not. Installing a 360 frontal using glue only takes around one hour, making it an easier option compared to weaving bundles. The time you take to install depends on the technique that you use. During installation, ensure that you cover your hair by either wearing a stocking or wig cap that is close to your skin's color so as to have your parts look natural.

Durability
360 frontal wigs can last for 3-4 weeks if glued well, although it depends on how long you wear it and how much you sweat. Frontals are not the best choice for people who sweat a lot. If you are someone who sweats a lot, the wig will not stay on for too long, especially if it is installed with glue/adhesive since the glue will come off fast.

One advantage is that the wig can be removed, washed, dried and then reinstalled as many times as you want. But, you need o to wash it carefully at least twice a week to keep it clean and soft. Use a hair conditioner to wash it and leave the wig in the conditioner for a little longer time while washing to get more nutrition.

Since only one can serve you for a long time, this saves you money as compared to buying several hair bundles along with one closure for parting purposes. Choose from the best 360 Frontal Lace Wigs and 360 Lace Frontals for a better, natural look.

GlossyBox - All That Glitters December Box

As Glossybox wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas, it has been quite the year for them.  Boxes selling out before they have even launched, an incredible Advent Calendar (review here) which I am opening daily on my Instagram Stories (here) and this month we have the 'All That Glitters' box looking all resplendent in festive red.

This box has already sold out but the ‘All That Glitters‘ December box is said to have been inspired by the glitz of the Christmas season – sparkly lights, late nights and red inspired by Father Christmas himself!  Inside the box are 5 full-size products (3 of which are makeup) plus an EXTRA treat.

The first product out of the box is the Bellapierre Shimmer Roll in shade Champagne - Described as being an easy-to-use highlighter that glides on effortlessly to accentuate your facial features.

It is formulated with only three safe and natural ingredients and can be applied directly to the cheekbones, brow bones and the bridge of the nose. It blends like an absolute dream and is just so incredibly easy to use.

Next out of the box from Beauty Bvld comes the Divine Hydra Gel Lip Masks. Having used these masks before, they are designed to plump and smooth dry and damaged lips. The lip masks have three main aims - to plump, add moisture and contour. To do this, they use the natural elements from red seaweed plant, exfoliating properties derived from sugar beets and ingredients which occur naturally in green tea.

Hyaluronic Acid boosts hydration with Amino Acids helping the skin to stretch and bounce back into place. Anti-Oxidant rich Red Wine extract and Collagen components help to plump and smooth lips for an overall more youthful appearance.

Staying with Makeup and this time we have the Doucce Relentless Matte Lip Crayon in shade Winterberry. This is a new brand to me and until now, I had never heard of Doucce was born in New York, its name was inspired by the French word “douce”, which means soft and elegant.

The Relentless Matte Lip Crayon is described as being a long-lasting deeply pigmented lip colour that glides on to the lips giving an ultra-matte finish. The formula provides both high coverage and an incredibly creamy saturated finish, the shade Winterberry being a rich bold red shade, making it perfect for this time of year. The crayon also comes with a sharpener to keep the tip defined for easy and precise application.

Another brand I have never come across until now is Niko Pro and within the box, we have the Jelly Blusher in shade Bali. Niko is a British Vegan Brand who make some incredible looking makeup brushes and believe fur should remain on animals where it looks much cuter than on human beings (hear hear).

This liquid Jelly Blusher has shimmers of gold nestled within the pink hue of the blush and it is said to not only give your cheeks a flush of colour but also a bit of a sparkle too.  The jelly formula is quite unlike any blusher texture I have used before and it is lightweight when applied and also quite hydrating too.

If you love Unicorns and Fantasy then you need to hunt down this bottle of shower gel from Imperial Leather because it will be ticking all your boxes.  Called the Fantasy Icons Cosmic Unicorn Shower Gel, it is said to have been inspired by cosmic moons and sparkles.

It is scented with pink grapefruit, citrus and floral aromas and leaves your skin feeling magically soft.  I think this is a lot of fun, anything that makes having a shower fun gets the thumbs up from me and being pink and loved by Unicorns hopefully means the Mister will leave it alone!

Finally within this months Glossybox we have 'The Incredible Pore Strip' by MayBeauty. I have had my eye on the MayBeauty Foot mask for some time, but this pore strip is the first product I have got in my hands to try.  
GlossyBox - All That Glitters MayBeauty Pore Strip
These pore strips are designed to remove blackheads and impurities and have charcoal as one of the main ingredients alongside Aloe Vera and Witch Hazel.  What I love about pore strips is removing them and seeing exactly what they do manage to remove from my nose, some have been totally useless and others have been incredibly good and I have high hopes for this brand given the rave reviews I have read.

Another fab box from Glossybox this month and one that gets you party ready for the festive season. Even though this box has sold out, there is still time to get your hands on the January Box and here are some codes for you to use.Buy that special someone a gift that keeps on coming!

Seoulista Beauty Head-To-Toe Glow Box

The multi award-winning beauty brand Seoulista Beauty has launched the most incredible collection that is a must for any beauty lover to keep you glowing from head to toe throughout party season. The Head-to-Toe Glow Box contains 3 incredible Seoulista Beauty products for glowing, party-perfect skin in an instant with these three amazing products.

Ensuring your skin remains radiant and glowing, the first product from the box is the Seoulista Correct & Calm Instant Facial. This mask is one of the nicest masks I have used in a long time.   Everything you need to know about the mask is written on the packaging which I find really useful.
Seoulista Beauty Head-To-Toe Glow Box Correct & Calm Instant Facial
Made from natural coconut, this mask is a gel-like mask and it is infused with Witch Hazel & Eucalyptus Leaf which together works to repair & replenish your skin. It is the ideal mask for minor & major breakouts and its formula minimises pores and reduces irritation & redness. Once you have fully cleansed your face, this mask should be left for up to 20 minutes to allow it to work its magic. I have had a few of these masks and they are ideal for use after a stressful week or when you are feeling run down and your skin needs to be calmed down and soothed, perfect when you have a cold or are just getting over one.


As well as face masks, there are masks for just about everything and within this box, there are two further masks. The next product within the box is the Seoulista Beauty Rosy Hands Instant Manicure and it is described as being "A soothing and revitalising treat for your hands". These hand masks are not just any mask, they are double-layered and contain a blend of antioxidants, Vitamin C, beeswax & Bulgarian Rose oil which works to heal, hydrate and scent hands.

I work with a lot of paper and ink and spend my days typing away on a keyboard, so now and again, despite my love of hand cream, I do suffer from dryness on parts of my palms. Once I had washed my hands and ensure they were dry, I placed my hands in these gloves and strapped them in place, I have quite small hands, so they were quite big, but the upshot of that is I had to sit still for half an hour and let the gloves work their magic. Once I removed the gloves, my hands were a lot softer and smoother and the rose scent was divine.

The final product within this trio is the Seoulista Beauty Rosy Toes Instant Pedicure and it is described as being "The perfect treat for your party-weary feet". At this time of the year, I swear I do a lot more walking than I would normally, or in my case hobbling because of my ankle, so resting and pampering my feet (even though I hate feet) is a it of a treat.

Rosy Toes contains a blend of antioxidants, Vitamin C, beeswax & Bulgarian Rose oil and these ingredients come together to protect and hydrate cuticles, nails, as well as to soften skin. As with the Rosy Hands mask, this is also a double layered mask and again, once you have slipped a foot into each mask, you secure them in place using the paper strap and let them work their magic for up to 30 minutes.  For an extra treat, you can also put them into the fridge so they are nice and cool, especially nice if you have achy feet.  As soon as 30 minutes was over, having removed the sock masks, there was a little serum left on my skin, so I ensured it was rubbed in.  The feeling afterwards is that my feet felt soft and smooth to the touch. 


This would make such a wonderful gift for someone you feel is in need of a good pamper session or as a little gift from you to you and it is currently on offer at AllBeauty for just £17.95. The Seoulista Beauty skincare range is free from parabens, mineral oil, sulphates and artificial colours. All products are cruelty free and never tested on animals.
