Trying The Shark FlexStyle // Sorting The House Out After Christmas

[@lauraa1570]

The throw looks lovely! Congratulations on completing it. Could be nice draped over the new sofa too🥰🩷

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Thank you!!

[@sallysharp2707]

I used to rag my hair, roll your hair up in strips of rags the best way to get curly hair xxxx

[@Itsmyownmind]

The first thought when you said about putting the shelves up the wall on the stairs was ‘perfect for Billy!’ 🐱🤪 I’ve been crocheting a blanket for a gift for a friend for years, thank goodness she doesn’t know as it’s a surprise, and definitely will be one for me when I eventually finish it!

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Haha they would definitely be a good climbing frame for him 😂 haha best of luck finishing your blanket!

[@shirleybourke1402]

Jess my daughter and son in law stayed with me Christmas Eve and she is so good at it all she did was put the rope off my dressing gown around her hair , and the next morning , no money spent looked like someone who came out of a salon , it was stunning , nothing only a rope off a dressing gown girl , her curls were unreal 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@TheSliceOfJess]

I think I need to try the overnight curlers again with my extensions see how it turns out!

[@shirleybourke1402]

Try it girl , honestly , I couldn’t get over her hair , no hair spray nothing and she said it lasted all Christmas night , and she has long straight hair like you 🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍

[@shirleybourke1402]

She said wrap um really tight , like a rope from my dressing gown 🤣🤣, because she forget her no heat curling thing 👍👍, I think she has made a new invention there 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lizfield6486]

Your throw looks brilliant. I crocheted a blanket for my dad that took an age. When he died I didn’t have the heart to get rid so it sits under my bed now lol.

[@traceb3454]

Hi Jess, i put all the non printed cardboard (ie parcel stuffing) into my composter at the allotment, not sure if your family already do this. Love ur vids ❤️

[@ladymawa]

Binge watching your vlogs and really enjoying them. Have you tried pinning your curls after you’ve used the sharkflex? It might let them really cool down. Omg your throw looks great … well done! Happy fringing lol. Have you tried the Superdrug cleansing balm? I really like it and prefer it to the Elemis one as it doesn’t irritate my eyes. The Elemis smells nicest though 🥰. Really enjoying your channel xx♥️

[@SusanMowe]

Oh wow I was looking at them . Iv got my son’s wedding in March so I need something to make my hair look better . You look amazing xx

[@louisedurrant1804]

Happy new year to you…thank you for your yr lovely vlogs in 2023..look forward to more shopping hauls and cooking in 2024…Louise xx

[@battledroid513]

i think make sure you use a mousse or something for holding curls, and pin them after you have done each curl, and obv hairspray etc! xx

[@lynneday4217]

I have the Dyson Airwrap and absolutely love it . I will say that your hair has to be almost wet for it to work , Not just Damp . I found it’s the only thing that gives me a lasting curl.

[@LisaRobinson-j6i]

Started watching your channel a few weeks ago Now your 1 of my favourites You come over as such a down to earth sweet person x

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Thank you so much!!

[@cathbooth1980]

Jess, you should definitely use the Elemis muslin cloth as part of your cleansing routine! It acts as a gentle exfoliator and will leave your skin beautifully smooth! Rinse them well after every cleanse then wash them on a hot wash & they’ll be fine. Also, I have the Dyson Air Wrap and was a bit disappointed! But my hair is super straight, fine but thick…the curls do not last. I have to use a ton of product on 2 day post wash hair to get a slight bouncy blow dry effect…I literally now just own a really overpriced hairdryer 😏 xx

[@christinasmyth5674]

A few framed prints would look lovely on the stair wall

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Yes I think we may put some up nearer the top

[@rl3938]

Yes, it takes us a couple of weeks it seems to get the trash and recycling sorted after the holidays. Wishing you a Happy New Year! Thank yo for your videos and I love your cats appearances and meowing. He is so interactive! Most cats are so aloop...he's a treat!

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Thank you! You too! Haha Billy is definitely very vocal!

[@healthybodz1969]

Absolutely loved your throw, well done. Im trying to finish off a crochet blanket I started 5 years ago 😮. Also love your new lounge x

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Thank you!! Haha I’m surprised mine hasn’t taken 5 years 😂

[@RooRoo01]

What about where the light switch is by the front door for the shelves? And some wall prints for the stairs x

[@michelleamywatt5695]

Could you do a video to teach the knitting that you do please You make it look simple Very nice 😊

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be starting any knitting anytime soon, but I followed some videos on KZbin that were a great help!

[@katiehunt2978]

Just a tip! I have the dyson airwrap and I watched lots of tips and tricks videos here on yt that helped me! One is getting some hair clips (the long stick like ones which open and close) and once youve done a curl, gently hold it and thread a clip through the loop of the curl and clip it so it can set in shape. Once youve done your while head leave for a little bir and gently take all the clips out and it should last a lot longer!

[@lozangel38]

I use the body one shop daily but keep seeing the elemis one is it worth the money I know it’s costly and how long does it last you x

[@chloe0156]

U need to use a mousse or hairspray to hold the curl xx

[@pamhunt1267]

If you have a hose, spray all the cardboard in your recycling bin, it squashes down way more when the cardboard is wet 😊 or leave it open for an hour or so when it's raining!

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Great idea!!

[@pamhunt1267]

@TheSliceOfJess a wee tip my folks taught me when I first moved out 😂

[@paulined4190]

Hi Jess .... a great video ....have you given up the gym at the moment. Do you still take your protein shakes.

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Thank you! Haven’t been to the gym in a while due to some health issues but hoping to go back soon!

[@claireburfoot4637]

Great vlog, Jess. Your lounge looks lovely, by the way. I know what you mean about the shops, horrendous!!!! xx

[@HorrorBiscuit]

Have you ever tried old fashioned heated rollers? They are game changers! ☺️

[@sallysharp2707]

I crochet its so much faster than knitting xxx

[@LeanneCara]

More knitting content please!🧶

[@karenlavery4463]

Hi you don’t brush it you comb it with a wide tooth Combe some people hold curls till they cool down..lovely vlog xx❤❤

[@harriet4991]

Your fringe looks gorgeously styled Jess! After watching, I would suggest to not brush the curls out straight away, I don’t think they will have had time to set and they will still be warm so the hair will revert back if you’re brushing it through? I hope that makes sense! I normally curl my whole hair first, spray with hairspray and then potter about for at least 5/10mins (normally whilst I put my outfit on 😂) and then I will brush it out once it’s fully cooled. If I have extra time, i will also pin them up straight after curling each and ‘catch the curl’ so it doesn’t drop at all, this sets them really well and they last days! But the first is my daily go to, quick hairstyle and still lasts well, I have a full head of 200 gram 24 inch hair extensions too! X

[@susanbonita7752]

Jess I love watching you I live in Durham but I have moved up from the South I used to live in Spain but after being ill I moved to Durham, I love watching you and just want to say I wish you all the best with Emanuel he clearly loves you sending lots of love xxx

[@beverleywolstenholme5131]

Jess I suggest you watch Freya Farrington her hair is amazing maybe get some tips from her.. But I'm sure you'll suss it out xx shelves would look good by the front door side of window.. Throw looks amazing well done Jess xx 😘

[@HorrorBiscuit]

If you want a quick bouncy wave look have you ever tried good old fashioned heated rollers? ☺️ They work! Cheaper and will save your arms :p Pop them in before you start your make up then in 20 mins take them out, apply some hairspray to your hair but don’t brush it yet, leave to cool and in 10 mins or so you can run your wide comb through and loosen the curls up as little or as much as you want. They are game changers for when I forget to put my eternal muse heatless curler in at night ❤

[@douglasm1158]

Do you like eating biscuits while watching horror films.

[@Emma-sh1lh]

I would try your pictures on the stair wall and put the shelves where the pictures are in lounge with a couple of plants and something else on.

[@alfiegiblin-dl5gz]

Happy new year 2 u both from Alfie and Karen 😮😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅

[@bengalcatlife6268]

You need mousse hun! Ive just bought this and I've been experimenting with it, the curlers give you just a bouncy blow instead of proper curls, which is annoying but i would top it up with a curler wand. But the key us hair products 😊best of luck xx

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Loads of people have said mousse! I’ve also seen someone say it wrecks hair extensions though so I’m not sure now 😂

[@clairhill37]

Defo takes a lot of time with the shark! Pil L’Oréal hair spray before and curl and put rollers in for at least 30 mins but they don’t stay in my hair that great ❤xx

[@marysmyth8288]

Hello Jess, Is so interesting how you tackle each different idea That is floating in your mind . How to do this or that 😏🤷‍♀️hmmm shelving What to do when the shops are packed with crowds And not to mention the Hair cadet . And so you know , I am always loving your weekly vlog Mary Canada 🇨🇦

[@laurenbutcher7647]

Put them beside the curtains the shelves xxx

[@helengreen5735]

I’m with the good old fashioned heater rollers people!! 😂 but I have a 25 year old wired heated curler that I swear by and produces great curls in my long hair. What you do to make them hold is nothing to do with the thing you use to create the curls anyway, that’s the same whatever you use! Xx

[@lizgilmore7314]

Jess are you planning to remove your hair extensions or renew them at some stage?

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Yes they get refitted every 8-10 weeks so mine will be due start of January

[@suerolfe9451]

Hi Jess, I forgot to ask you the other day, what size knitting needles you used thanks x

[@kathyjones6103]

The weather has a lot to da with your hair love x

[@traciewilliams4630]

Good old fashion dressing gown belt , I use it every school night for daughters hair ( takes 10 mins ) and her curls are still in when she gets in from school at 3pm , way better than any fancy curling tones etc ❤❤😊

[@justme-hx8eg]

Hi , I don't find any of these products last on long heavy hair .unless you have finer or mid length I would stick to less expensive ways of getting a curl .I do find the heatless curl wrap gives better curls on long hair x

[@michelleamywatt5695]

Hey jess Do you wear the strip false lashes

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Hey! I do yes 🥰

[@bengalcatlife6268]

Also another tip i saw you brush it, don't brush it out while its still hot as your curl is still setting, wait for it to completely cool before brushing/ combing out. Also you can try rollers and leave them in for 20 mins then hairspray then take out! ❤xx

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Will try thank you! ♥️

[@SusanMowe]

Is it the hair extensions?

[@emilynisbet1070]

Maybe try pinning up each curl with a bobby pin? This might help keep the shape of the curl while you continue with the rest of your hair and use some hairspray x

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Yes I might try that!

[@rebecca9906]

Could wear ear plugs when using the hair wrap

[@lucygale336]

Near front door by window the shelf will look nicehello billy 😻

[@marshallexi]

I swear, the world has forgotten about £50 heated rollers.

[@jennyladen]

Yes can’t be beaten, they last for years too, I’ve seen the original Carmen ones on eBay for sale, that came out in the 70s!

[@eileenboffo6300]

Use a heat protector with styling product in it. As you take the styler out of the sections make sure it's cooled down and pin them. Don't brush them out and then just run your fingers through it.

[@teresagalvin6233]

U leave the curl in pin it nd take them all out and brush them together not 1 by 1 and the texture spray as i seen someone already suggested and that moroccon brand is amazing.❤❤

[@slimwithchelle271]

I’m a hairdresser and the shark and the Dyson are absolutely a pain in the bum till you master them and then you will never look back !!

[@christinelim4638]

I think billy always comes to you when your at that window because its the window to his play centre 😂

[@kerryrooney2416]

Works better when hair is damp like after washing damp

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Will try again next time I wash it!

[@pamelai1573]

I have fine hair and even with product my hair just won’t hold a curl at all

[@caitrionagallagher-gu9jl]

Are u a nurse jess❤

[@faystalker9851]

Just put pics on the stair wall used the shelves elsewhere if you put them i wd lighten the shelves the walls is dark

[@shannong7556]

No shelves any where they might get bumped into. Flat pics on the stair wall will be much better.

[@nicolapeters1183]

Please.be careful with mousse unless it's sulfate free it may make your hair change colour or get tamgly and ruin the extensions

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Ahh no way!! I’m gunna have to do some research I think

[@beauty_buys_uklisa3868]

I presume the extensions aren’t real hair? It’ll be like trying to style a synthetic wig with heat, unlikely to work :/

[@leabeauty837]

Unlikely to be synthetic. The hair is curling (which synthetic wouldn’t do) just not holding. She just needs to use products and maybe some hair grips whilst she doing it.

[@nicolapeters1183]

They will be real.hair but will likely be asian hair which is quite coarse

[@leabeauty837]

@@nicolapeters1183 Asian hair coarse👀..just stop.

[@TheSliceOfJess]

It’s Indian Remy hair x

[@nicolapeters1183]

@@leabeauty837 what? It's no different to saying someone's hair is fine or.greasy asian hair is hard to curl or hold curl I have them myself so I should.know what the texture feels like always someone with something stupid to say ,🥺
