Lip Injection 1ml Experience | All About Face Skin Clinic | Gold Coast

💉 MY LIP INJECTION EXPERIENCE 💉






On Wednesday 19th of August, I made the 4hour car trip from Chinchilla to the @ All About Face Skin Clinic on Chevron Island on the Gold Coast for my first experience into Lip Enhancement.

Once all the necessary paper work was signed with my consent.

It was time for the consultation with my injector Lexi & a little bit of numbing cream while we chat.

I was recommended to try 1ml Emerval, their entry level product to see how it reacted with my body for my first experience.

I have incredibly thin lips with no definition so my goal was to build filler over multiple sessions if this was something I'd continue doing.
Happy to follow her direction and start with the 1ml, though I was willing to go up to 1.5ml if acceptable.

The procedure itself took about 5 mins to complete and we were done! SO QUICK!

I was anxious & scared. Either nothing was going to happen or I'd be look like a duck.
Note to self - do not google any images. 99% of the time it's of a bad experience.

🌷 Reveal time! 🌷
I looked in the mirror and I could of cried.... out of JOY! I had FULL POUTY LIPS!
❤️❤️ I couldn't believe it! ❤️❤️

‼️NOW for the questions everyone wants to know‼️ 💉

‼️COSTS?‼️
️Pricing always depends on what you are recommended for your needs (must be a qualified nurse) and what clinic you visit.

All About Face have heaps of good deal packages available. Follow their Facebook page for details.

The Emerval 1ml I received was on special for $490. I paid in full but they do offer payment plans too.

❌DOES IT HURT?!😵❌
Truthfully & thankfully it's bearable. 👍✔️
It's uncomfortable and definitely strange feeling the filler injected but bearable.
Overall I had 6 needle entries.
4 on Top - 2 on Bottom Lip.
Top is more painful in comparison to the bottom. Bottom was completely painless for me.

❌DID YOU BRUISE?❌
With my experience I did get a long bruise along the right side of my upper lip.
However the Bruise and swelling reduced heavily over 24 hours.

❌WOULD I GET IT DONE AGAIN?❌
Hell YES! ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ I CANT WAIT!

❌WILL YOU DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT NEXT SESSION❌
I will see how the next few months progress, as I do have a very fast metabolism so I expect the product to dissolve faster than the usual client. If it lasts 4-6 months that would be good for my expectations to my metabolism but if shorter 2-4 months I may need a thicker filler (again as recommended by Lexi).

‼️DID YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE?‼️
The staff are funny, easy going, super friendly and most importantly qualified, experienced & amazing at what they do. It was so quick and for the most part painless. Leaving me comfortable from start to finish.

‼️OVERALL‼️
I am extremely happy with the final result.
Lexi added volume but kept the shape of my natural lip intact. The result is a prefect introduction into cosmetic fillers.
Next session we may be able to focus more on definition and shape now I actually have volume! Which is so amazing to me!

This was something I have always wanted to do/try. For a very long time (years) I have researched before taking the leap so please DO your research too. This is not something you should do because of the trend.

But if you do choose to go ahead with cosmetic fillers, All about Skin Clinic is a great clinic to visit. I do whole heartily recommend them to you girls ❤️

I also hope this post is helpful, to show you a true experience and result from cosmetics fillers. It is very hard to find before and afters reviews from actual clients as generally cosmetic procedures are private.

Please let me know if you have any other questions ❤️👏👏

🌹 Thank you again All About Face 🌹

🚫Disclaimer
❌Not sponsored by All About Face Skin Clinic
❌Please do your own research as this is a cosmetic procedure
❌This is only my personal experience with photos & a review for reference in hope to help beauty lovers that may enjoy this post before trying fillers for themselves.
❌ Leaving positive feedback is always a good way to show your appreciation

Benefits of Coconut Oil for Natural Hair

Here is an awesome article regarding the benefits of Coconut for Natural Hair

 Organic Facts Quoted Paragraph from
https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/oils/coconut-oil-for-hair.html

"Hair Damage: The use of coconut oil on hair helps to reduce protein loss in both damaged as well as undamaged hair. Coconut oil rich in lauric acid, has a high affinity for hair protein, and easily penetrates inside the hair shaft, which is due to its low molecular weight. It can be used for pre-wash or post-wash hair grooming.
Cooling Properties: The application of coconut oil on the head and scalp also has a cooling effect. It can cool and soothe people with hot heads, or those who suffer from severe scalp sweating.
Moisture Retention: Coconut oil has a high moisture retaining capacity, since it is not easily broken down nor evaporated, being very stable. It does not let moisture escape, thus keeping hair moist and soft, which prevents breakage of hair.
Hair Conditioning: Coconut oil is a better conditioner for hair than any synthetic one available in the market. Use of warm coconut oil helps in keeping hair shimmering and soft. Apply some warm oil at night and wash your hair the next morning. This can be repeated every few days for healthy, strong and conditioned hair.
Anti-Dandruff: The various fatty acids present in coconut oil serve as very good anti-dandruff agents and are far better than any anti-dandruff shampoo. Regular application of coconut oil can help you get rid of dandruff forever. Coconut oil mixed with lukewarm water and castor oil can also be effective in treating dandruff. Massage the scalp and hair with this mixture for ideal results.
Another home remedy for dandruff can be prepared by mixing coconut oil with sesame oil. Apply this mixture for about 30 minutes and then shampoo the hair.
Styling: Coconut oil can be a good styling oil for hair as well, as it melts on heating and then condenses when cooled. Therefore, when you apply it on your hair, it thins and spreads evenly due to the heat of the scalp. Soon afterwards, as the hair comes in contact with air, the oil on the hair condenses, thus working as a styling gel or cream.
Hair Care for Dry Hair: For people with dry hair that is rough and thin, taking good care of your hair is a big concern. However, using strong hair care products for cleansing, toning and conditioning may lead to a dry and flaky scalp. Coconut Oil can be effective in taking care of this sort of dry hair.
Hair Conditioning:  Hair Conditioner can be easily prepared at home using coconut oil. It is not only effective; it also does not have side effects.  Mix some henna with coconut oil and warm milk to make a paste. Apply this to the hair for 20 minutes and then rinse hair properly. This hair conditioner is very effective, particularly for dry hair.
Split Ends: If you have a lot of split ends in your hair, it is generally advised to cut them, but in case this problem appears on a small number of your hair strands, then you can use simple home remedies to solve the problem. Massage your hair with a mixture of coconut oil and almond oil for a few minutes; this will help in minimizing the split ends. "




I hope you guys found this interesting & start using Coconut Oil in your weekly routine

VIRGIN HAIR ORIGINS 101 | Rogue Hair Extensions

Remy 100% Human Hair from Rogue Hair Extensions


VIRGIN HAIR ORIGINS
 Rogue Hair Extensions

VIRGIN HAIR 101

"Virgin Hair is always considered as Remy Hair.
But
Remy hair will not always be virgin hair."

WHAT IS VIRGIN HAIR?
Virgin hair refers to the Raw state of Human hair.  Hair that has been completely untouched, unprocessed & remains with cuticles intact. 
The virgin category standards include hair which have NOT been permed, dyed, colored, bleached, chemically processed or heat styled in any way.

WHAT IS REMY HAIR?
Remy Hair is known as the premium source as far as quality. Remy hair basically means the hair follicles all go in one single direction.
Remy hair is collected in a method in which all hair strands stay aligned in the natural direction as it grew.
Usually to ensure this, the hair is held in a ponytail & then cut. To guarantee top at top, and ends at ends, to maintain the natural texture pattern and cuticle direction. 
This eliminates tangling problems commonly found in non-Remy or lower quality hair.

WHY DO WE WANT VIRGIN HAIR?

Obviously not all hair can be virgin hair. But it does offer a great canvas to work with.
Virgin hair can be coloured & will take colour very well. This is great if you want to make a custom design or have your hair match perfectly to your extensions. 
Generally virgin hair is made for sew-in weaves, full wig units or Upart Wig units. 

Virgin Hair is Bouncy, Full & Flawless.
Higher quality virgin hair has a natural gorgeous luster & full body. With no dead ends & a healthy density from top to bottom.

No tangling or snagging in the hair when brushing through with fingers or a brush. 
As no colour process has changed the integrity of the hair, the hair should be extremely soft, with no dry ends. It should feel like butter.

Keeping your human hair moisturized is very important also. Virgin Hair will soak up all conditioning products such as coconut oil, argan oils & deep conditioning treatments that will help stay in prefect condition. This should be done often to keep them looking healthy.

WHEN USING AS HAIR EXTENSIONS

When using different Origin types for Hair Extensions installation. Hair Extensions such as Beaded Weft, Tape & Micro Beads.  It is important to consider your hair type when choosing your hair origin.

The origin is really all about TEXTURE, the way it will behave when installed. This is the main structure of the hair which includes density, pattern, luster, movement & natural colour state.

Example, Hair Weight & Density
Someone with very fine hair would be better suited to a European Hair texture but can also use Indian, Brazilian & Eurasian. Where as Peruvian or Malaysia hair type may be too thick of a density for the clients finer hair to support. 

Example, Texture style
Do you want bouncy full curly styled hair? Peruvian hair is prefect curly styled hair as the courser texture allows the curls to hold for longer. Where as a softer texture like Cambodian will drop almost immediately due to the softness of the hair structure.

VIRGIN HAIR TYPES

New Age Synthetic Hair | Rogue Hair Extensions

Review on Rogue Hair Extensions
 New Synthetic Hair

Wait!  
Before you click away. You have to check out this new synthetic it's unlike anything you have never seen before!


Gone are the days of Tacky, low quality synthetic hair!

We all know that cheap synthetic that feels like horse hair & mattes just by looking at it. 

 GROSS

Well NOT anymore!
~~~Rogue Hair Extensions will be adding this new Synthetic option to the store! ~~~

SHOP NOW

So lets check it out!

Examples of Rogue Hair Extension Synthetics

As the industry expands & technologies advance we are starting to see a massive improvement in the quality of Synthetic hair.

The denier & texture of the hair is becoming more comparable to Human Hair with less tangling & a smoother finish.
 
These lightweight and easy to attach extensions provide instant length & change of colour.
Available in either 1 piece (5 Clip) or a 7pc (4x1, 3x2, 2x2, 2x1) option.


 Heat Resistant Styling:

Synthetic has a reputation for melting when in contact with heat.
Thankfully, fibers are now being created to resist heat.

Straighten/Curl your Synthetic hair with a styling tool that has a digital temperature gauge. Typically, synthetic hair cannot withstand heat over 180 degrees, so a high setting will not be safe for synthetic hair.

I have tested the heat resistance with a GHD Eclipse (180 Degrees), which resulted in amazing results. I do not recommend temperatures over 180.

STRAIGHTENING

Step 1:
Brush through hair

Step 2:
Spray either Heat Protection spray or water to the hair & straighten as required


CURLING

There is a huge difference in how we Curl style synthetic fibers.
The Heat-Resistant Synthetic section piece must be clipped away and allowed to cool in order for the curl to set correctly. Then you continue to the next piece.

Once the curl has been styled & set, you can only remove the curl by flat-ironing the hair.
Again with the same method to curl & allowed section to cool before contact with next section.

The same goes for pre-set synthetic curly hair extensions that you want to flat-ironed; these should be anchored straight until cool and must be washed to restore the curl.
 

HOW TO INSTALL:

Easy to Attached, Style & Remove
  1.  Comb and divide your hair in a straight line
  2. Attach the extension close to the hairline, push and lock in the 5 clips. Ensure they are flat to the head to eliminate any bumps to remand undetected.
  3. Once all clips are locked in, blend the extensions into your natural hair by letting your hair down & brushing gently.
  4. Style as necessary 
  5. To remove undo all clips & remove.
Style in a braid or fish tail!






Example of 1 Pc Synthetic with 5 Clips 





HOW TO STORE:

Storing your Synthetic extensions will be very important as they won't be installed semi permanently.

I recommend two ways;

OPTION 1:
  • Use a hanger with crocodile clips. 
  • Open your extension & use the hangers clip to attach to each end. 
  • Brush through ends & store by hanging in your closet
OPTION 2:
  • Tie the extensions with a band around the top with extensions folded over.
  • Place in packaging to keep from tangling
  • Store away in cupboard or drawer 


PRO's & CON'S:

Pro:

  • Gorgeous quality 
  • Amazing Custom Made Colours
  • Heat resistant - Can use hot tools
  • Synthetic has a memory of the style | Straight or Curly
  • Easy to use. Not extra styling required
  • Hugely affordable!
  • Can be worn down but recommend wearing in a braid or styled to reduce tangling 

Con:

  • Lack of versatility  
  • Blondes in particular can look a little shiny especially with flash photography. DO NOT RECOMMEND for a special occasion where photographs will be taken. 
  • It will tangle easy if not looked after or stored correctly
  • Does have a synthetic smell - Recommend to wash with shampoo or fabric softener. 
  • Is not a substitute for human hair
  • Lifespan 2-3 months extensions 5-6 months for wigs
