Updo with NO Heat Tools!

Who: Jen
What: Random Hairplay Day!
When: Saturday, March 23

Last week our whole family was over at my sister's house for an early Easter dinner. We were hanging around and then I thought, "Hey! Let's play with hair!" Jen was willing to be my victim, but the only thing was, I hadn't brought any of my hair supplies or heat tools. My other sister Jaime was able to provide a comb, bobbi pins, and hairspray...good enough for me!



Before (Front and Back) - Jen's so cute!
Notice the layers...I realized later how much more difficult it is to style layers without a straightening/curling iron. The hair ends had a mind of their own and wanted to splay out like a fan!



During (Aack! It's a rat's nest! ) and After
I only had one rubber band to work with, so I used bobbi pins to hold the braids I had done on each side of Jen's hair. 



Finished! :)


Stay tuned... it's taking forever to post about Jen's wedding day last October, but it's in the works!

Hair fun with Jaime!

Who: Jaime
When: Sunday, Feb. 24
What: Updo

I was over at my sister's house after church one day and we were able to play with some hair! Here's what I came up with... it was kind of like a deconstructed-reconstructed bun! (Kind of) :)




Before and After

I wanted to do a look where all of Jaime's hair was pulled up, but I didn't want to have to tie any of her hair into a ponytail first. One of the reasons for that is because Jaime doesn't have a lot of hair, plus her hair is very thin. Tying her hair into a ponytail would use up some of her hair that I'd want to use for volume and curls instead.

Once the upper half was teased, shaped, and pulled back, I was able to twist Jaime's remaining hair into a semi "S" shape. Once everything looked balanced, I pinned it down with bobby pins!

Which one do you like better?


Thanks for letting me play with you hair again, Ja!
