Hair Tutorial–Beachy Waves with Hot Rollers

How I curl my hair with hot rollers! This video is a long time coming – it’s one of my most requested videos! And I’m finally posting a quick tutorial on exactly how I do my hair. The delay was mainly because I usually just throw hot rollers in my hair, put on make-up, change and then go on with my day – in a big rush (picture Stitch trying to get ready in the morning). So I knew it wouldn’t be perfect and I was waiting to have the time to set up the camera somewhere with great lighting, take my time, part my hair in perfect sections, have mood music in the background…

Then, I remembered – you know I’m just me and not fancy and don’t really expect a big production video. And I’ve really wanted to get this to everyone who’s been asking for the longest time! So, I threw this together and should have probably left the hot rollers in longer. And I didn’t flip / shake out my hair as enthusiastically as I usually do – but I was a lil afraid I’d knock my head on the counter and pass out and I’d have a concussion…

Point is – I hope this is helpful and informative even if it’s not perfect. Thank you for letting me know what you want to see / learn / know from me! And keep it coming! You can ask a question or make a request in the comments or on @RunEatRepeat via Instagram.

* You must make an appointment ahead of time so I can inform the homeowners association or it’s considered ‘trespassing’ or sometimes ‘stalking’… I don’t know the official legal terms. On second thought – just watch it one of the other ways listed above. *

 

I’ve used a lot of different brands and styles of hot rollers in an effort to find the BEST one. Here are some options that I think work great.

First keep in mind my hair might be different from your hair. So, you might need a different type of roller or to leave it in longer or …. I don’t know. But you should. Know yourself (mind, body, hair, heart) and what you need.

NOTE  –  The hot rollers I have and most of my recommendations DO NOT turn off automatically. I’ve actually never used a set that does have an auto turn off – but I saw someone mention it in the reviews on Amazon and wanted to make sure to let you know. You must unplug the hot rollers base when you are done.

My hair description notes:

– Red : I’m a natural redhead aka my hair isn’t dyed =  I don’t have any potential damage from dyeing my hair. So I’m not super concerned that using hot rollers will damage my hair since it’s pretty healthy. I also think using hot rollers are less damaging than using a curling iron or straightener in terms of heat damage – but I haven’t researched the facts on this.

– Long : um, long as in not short.

– I have a lot of hair, but not course or thick strands of hair: in addition to being long – I also have a lot of hair. I need a set of hot rollers that can hold all of my hair. This means using a set with a lot of rollers or a set where the rollers are long and able to hold a lot of hair on each one. I think having a set with claw clips and not wire pin type clips are the way to go.

– Straight: My hair is naturally straight and doesn’t really hold a curl when it’s clean. And it doesn’t hold a curl all day. My curls look best the day after washing it.

The Best Hot Rollers for Beachy Waves:

Calista Tools Ion Hot Rollers – These look most similar to the hot rollers I have. There are 12 long rollers and it comes with claw clips.

Revlon Travel Hot Rollers – I’ve used these for traveling and like them. But I would use claw clips with them to make sure they stay in place. There are 10 of these rollers (my usual set has 12) but I can make it work no problem.

Revlon Perfect Heat Hot Rollers – This is a set of 20 and comes with claw clips.

Conair Instant Heat Travel Hot Rollers – Rollers look similar to my hot rollers and it comes in a soft, small case that works for travel. But this one doesn’t come with claw clips (you should buy them separately).

Claw Clips to use with hot rollers – If your hot rollers don’t come with claw clips – order them and just use them with what you have.

3 Ingredient Mocha Smoothie

Hello! Here’s a super easy post-workout smoothie recipe… It’s a delicious mix of chocolate, protein, caffeine and happiness (because of the chocolate). You might have heard that chocolate milk is a great post-run recovery drink … and I’m taking it up a notch with a kick of caffeine. Boom!

After a workout you should aim to refuel with a snack or meal that’s about a 4:1 carbs to protein ratio. Chocolate milk hits the mark and I’ve been drinking it for years after long runs and races (they have it at a lot of the races I’ve done!). And I added in frozen coffee ice cubes and some vanilla yogurt for extra caffeine and creaminess. It’s such an easy smoothie recipe – but so good.

Mocha Smoothie Recipe

• 1 cup coffee ice cubes
• 1 cup Real California Milk chocolate milk
• 5 oz. Real California Milk vanilla yogurt

Directions: Freeze leftover coffee in an ice cube tray overnight.

Blend coffee ice cubes, chocolate milk and yogurt. Serve immediately.

Optional: Top with cocoa nibs for an extra chocolate kick!

Question: What’s your go-to drink after a hard workout or long run?

Pizza Omelet Recipe–2 Ways

2 healthy ways to have pizza for breakfast (or lunch or dinner)! This recipe is all the flavors of pizza on an egg crust so it’s 50% omelet / 50% pizza and 100% delicious.

You’ve probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And you might have also heard that pizza night is the most important dinner of the week (anyone else do pizza night on a weekly basis?!). So I’ve combined two of my favorite things for a delicious and healthy meal any time of day!

And since there are so many pizz-abilties I made 2 versions of this Pizza Omelet! There’s the usual favorite pizza recipe with sauce and shredded cheese and a margarita version with tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.

I’m loving this dish because I don’t usually think of pizza as very healthy or light – but this pizza has an egg crust and low fat mozzarella cheese for protein AND can pack in as many vegetables as you want (or can fit on top).

I’m a big fan of starting the day with a good amount of protein and fat to keep me full until lunch. And I try to eat a protein packed breakfast because I workout in the morning and want a good combo of protein and carbs to refuel.

There are so many cheese options you can choose based on your macros or calorie needs. I used low fat mozzarella for the Original Pizza version and fresh whole milk mozzarella for the Margarita Breakfast Pizza. [ Check out the Real California Milk – cheese 101 information page for more details on different cheese options. ]

Pizza Omelet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 egg whites
• splash Real California milk
• 1/2 tsp oregano & garlic powder (or Italian seasoning)
• salt & pepper to taste

Topping:

• 1/2 cup Real California Milk low fat mozzarella, shredded
• 1/4 cup pizza sauce
• veggies – your favorite pizza toppings

Directions: Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk and seasoning. Grease skillet with butter and place on medium heat. Add egg mix to skillet, cook and carefully flip so both sides are cooked through.

Remove from heat and top with pizza sauce, cheese and your favorite pizza toppings. Place under broiler for a couple minutes so cheese melts. Watch it carefully as it will melt quickly – it might just need 90 seconds depending on your broiler.

Serve immediately.

Margarita Pizza with Egg Crust Recipe

• 2 eggs
• 2 egg whites
• splash milk
• 1/2 tsp oregano & garlic powder
• salt & pepper to taste 

  Topping:

• 1 medium tomato
• 4 oz. mozzarella (I used Real California Milk mozzarella)
• fresh basil
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Directions: Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk and seasoning. Grease skillet with butter and place on medium heat. Add egg mix to skillet, cook and carefully flip so both sides are cooked through.

Remove from heat and top with tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and oregano. Serve immediately.

 

Tip: Make a Tomato and Mozzarella salad with the leftover mozzarella, basil and tomatoes. It’s a delicious and super pretty side dish or appetizer.

Remember to look for the Real California Milk seal when shopping.
