Welcome back! This post is a special post because today I am going to be showing you how to create an enchanting fishtail plait using Neal & Wolf's Enchant collection which they kindly sent me. I will leave a link to each product I use in this post for you guys. Overall this was a great experience and I loved the outcome! Lets get on with this tutorial!
Step One: To begin with I washed my hair using Neal & Wolf's Ritual Daily Cleansing Shampoo and Conditioner. This untangled and added moisture to my hair to ensure it was in the perfect condition for styling. This left my hair feeling and smelling simply amazing! I then towel dried my hair before applying the Elevate Volumising Lotion,which made a huge difference to the style I was creating, and the Guard Heat Protection Spray , to ensure my hair doesn't get damaged by the styling tools we will use.
Step Two: I dried my hair using My hair dryer. Once my hair was dried ( and looking perfect and less frizzy than usual due to the products might I add) I split my hair into two sections and softly curled the mid-sections of my hair using My curling wand. I have never seen my hair curl so nicely before and I will defiantly be using these products again before I curl my hair.
Step 3: Next I found my middle parting using a comb and tied one half up with a bobble so that it wouldn't get mixed up with the other half while plaiting.
Using the hair that was not tied up I split the hair into two sections and held each section in each of my hands. I then used my index finger to take a small piece of hair from the opposite section and then passed the outer piece of hair to the inner(Fishtail Plait). I then repeated this until the section of my hair was completed and then repeated this on the section of my hair that was tied up.
Step 4: To finish off the style I carefully pulled small strands of hair to make the plait look slightly messy and loose ( That's the style nowadays!. I then sprayed my style with Control Flexible Styling Spray to keep my hair in place and I spritzed Glow Super Shine Spray for a softer finish and glowing hair all day long!
I absolutely LOVED using Neal & Wolf's products for the first time and I was over the moon with the results. I recommend you all to try them out yourself and recreate this look! Don't forget to tag me ( @ Caitpaige_xo) and Neal & Wolf (@nealandwolf)on Instagram!
Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed! I will be back soon with another blog post ( It's a haul ;) ). Want to see more? comment and follow me to keep up to date.

Hey, I'm here with another pamper themed post! Today's post is going to be my pamper routine. I will be showing you what products I use to pamper and what I do to pamper my self every now and again.
I try to pamper my self at least once a month before a big day or a busy day. Sometimes , if I have nothing on that month I will pamper my self if I am stressed or down.
I think it is really important to treat yourself as it will help put you in a better mood and help you to connect with your self.
Anyway let's get onto the routine!
First things first is that I like to begin by running a bath. I feel that a bath is a must have for an at home pamper session as it will help you wind down as well as making you feel fresh and clean.
I like to add a bath bomb to my bath when pampering so today I used a coconut scented bath bomb which helped make my skin feel super moisturised. When pampering I like to make a nice cold drink for when I am in the bath as it is super important to feel hydrated. In the bath I like to start by washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner, I leave the conditioner on for about 5-10 minutes while I catch up on YouTube videos. I then will exfoliate with my Body Shop body scrub and then I will clean and shave.
When I get out of the bath and I am dried I change into some pyjamas. I think fluffy socks are so cute and comfy so they're a must have for me! I then moisturise with my dove moisturising cream which I showed in my previous post. The next step I HATE doing but...I know its important and I will regret in the morning if I don't do it. That step is drying my hair. This step to me is such a chore as my super thick hair takes AGES to dry but if I don't dry it my hair will be super frizzy and horrible the next day. Luckily I found some amazing coconut hair oil in Bodycare and it helps make my hair feel and look smooth and healthy as well as making my hair dry faster.
Now I think it's the perfect time to watch whatever TV show am watching at the moment, in this case it was The Originals. While I watch my show I like to paint my nails as I hardly ever have the time to do this so I like to take this time to do this. Plus of your anything like me I am super impatient when it comes to waiting for my nails dry and end up smudging them and ruining them watching a show really helps me to stop messing with my nails and ruining them. The colour I used was 'Iced Frappe' by Ciate. I also take this time to apply a face mask as again I hardly do this unless I do this while pampering.
I also have my candles lit while I do all this pampering as it helps set a relaxed mood and plus they smell amazing!
Finally I finish off with a book or music. I recently got the Pointless Book 3 as they are really fun as well as being a fan of Alfie Deyes. I feel like finishing with a book is really great as it gets you away from technology and puts you n the perfect position to go straight to sleep if you planned on ding so.
That's all for today's post guys. I hope you found this helpful and can add any of these steps to our own routine. If I have missed any steps that you guys do leave them in the comments so I can add them to my routine. If you enjoyed this post don't forget t check out my other posts and follow this blog. Have an amazing day and I'll speak to you in my next post!
