30 Days of HAIR!!!! Day 11!!

The finished product

How it started, bahahah.

This was a funny one to begin with.  I tried to be all dramatic and pin all of my hair to one side.  Bahaha.  Looking at the pictures now I think I looked ridiculous, but at the time I was thinking "oh, baby."  Bahahah.  ANYWAY.  First I pinned all of my hair to one side, then when I couldn't take myself seriously I did a really loose braid, still keeping all the pins in.  It started a little shaky, but I liked the finished product.  That's all that really matters, right??  Enjoy!!

30 Days of Hair!!!! Day 10!!!!

I look so sad.  Hahah.  I just try to have a neutral expression, I just need to accept I can't take a picture of myself.  hahah.

I told you there would be a lot of faux hawk like styles.  I liked this one a lot.  I started this one in the back, at the neckline.  I grabbed horizontal sections of hair and used the same method that I used for the bow hairstyle.  I made the bow the size I liked and then used the extra hair(coming out of the bottom) to link into the next section of hair until I got to the front, where I just left it out.  This is another instance where you can't see the detail clearly because of my curly hair.  I braided quite a few sections of hair along my part line to add detail, which you can't really see well in these pictures, unless you look closely.  I'd be interested to see it(or do it) with straight hair.  Any volunteers??  Enjoy!!

30 Days of HAIR!!! Day 9!!

Braids and more braids.  With curly hair, sometimes it's hard to see the details, it just looks like a hot mess all the time.  BUT, I tried to get some little details in this hair do to stick out.  First I grabbed a couple of sections of hair on the top of my head, about where my pony would go and did about 7 smaller braids.  Then I started about an inch off center in the front and used a french braid to go all the way across the front of my head. I pulled all of my hair up and used an elastic as if I were going to put it into a pony, but without pulling the hair all the way out the last time the elastic goes around, forming a kind of loop.  I tried to keep the braids I had done separate from the bulk of my hair.  After that I pulled my hair up I wrapped the braids around the outside of the bulk of the hair, securing it back into the elastic.  Hope you like it!!!  Enjoy!

30 Days of HAIR!!!! Day 8!!!!

I can't believe it's already Day 8!!  Here is another faux hawk take.  I can't get enough of them...  This one was super fast and easy!  I put my hair up in a pony, then split the pony into three different parts, front, center and back.  First I pinned the front section down the center of my head all the way up to the front.  Next I did the same with the back section(except I obviously went to the back).   With the middle section I used bobby pins to secure it wherever it looked like the body was lacking or there were pins showing, basically using it to really round out the look.  DONE.  Easy peasy.  Enjoy!!!

30 Days of HAIR!!!! Day 7!! Waterfall Braid Up do

No Make up again. Bahaha...Oops...

I love the waterfall braid that's so hot right now, so I tried it one me.  Here is a tutorial for doing it on yourself.  I just started two different braids in the front, off center, of course.  I braided all the way to the center back and secured them with bobby pins.  I couldn't do the half up look, for some reason I just don't feel like I can pull it off, I've tried a few times, but I can never leave it down.  SO, I picked up all of my hair, folded it and brought it up to meet the braids.  I secured the hair with bobby pins and was ready to go.  Enjoy!!!  Always feel free to ask questions, too!

Scarf tutorial!! Sweater re-purposing

Here is another re-purposing project.  I love me a scarf, so I took a sweater that is a little awkward on me and hacked it up.  It took me 10 minutes and I think it turned out great and it will work with a lot of different fabrics.  First I cut the lower portion of the sweater off with enough fabric to cut tassels and still have a good chunk of scarf for the top.  Then I cut fairly skinny strips almost half of the way up the fabric, creating the tassels.  With this particular sweater it had ribbing which made it pretty easy to cut consistent and straight tassels.   There you have it.  Twist it up or wear it straight.  This has so many possibilities!  Be creative!  If you use a wider sweater you could wrap it around twice, you could tie knots at the tops of each tassel, you could add beads to them, etc, etc.  Enjoy!!

30 Days of Hair!!!! Day 6!!!!

Excuse the natural look.  In my rush to get ready some days, taking the pictures is the thing that would remind me to put makeup on...yikes.  Anyway, Here is my take on the beehive.  It's super easy.  I found a tutorial online.  It's in Japanese, but she is pretty thorough with the video, so you don't need to understand what she is saying.  I brushed my hair out for this one, but I'm thinking next time I might not.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
