Day 30- last day!!

I have to say, this was a lot of fun! I'm glad it's over, so that I can revert back to my laziness, but I had a lot of fun doing it! 

I got used to posting on here every day, so I don't know what I'm going to do now haha!

Well, without further ado:

the Waterfall Braid

Here's the how-to:

Day 29

Knotted Pony

This is the how-to:

Now, my hair is quite a bit shorter than the model, so the ends of my pony were sticking straight out, so I tucked them up under the knot and pinned away. 

Day 28

Faux-hawk

This is probably my favorite style so far.

I love edgy looks, but I rarely get to do them to myself (mom of two on the way to the grocery store does'nt really warrant looking like a rockstar).

Here's my inspiration for today's look:

Cool huh?

Now, this took quite a chunk of time, and isn't easy to explain, so I took pics!
Ready? Here we go!

I started with dirty hair (Don't ask me when the last time I washed it was, I won't embarrass myself by answering) so that the curl would stay better.

1. I curled my hair with an inch wide iron and sprayed like crazy.

2. I then pulled the very front portion of my hair into two little pigtails on the very top of my head. 

The piggies don't have to be perfect.

3. And I did more piggies all the way down my head, kinda like a horse's mane.

The very bottom, at the nape of my neck, I only did one little pony, There wasn't enough hair for two.

4. I grabbed each little piggy, and backcombed the crap out of it. Lots of spraying, lots of backcombing, lots of spraying again.

 I look kinda like Bellatrix Lestrange, hence the crazy face. 

5. Then, I pinned the now-fluffy piggies into a mohawk shape, making sure to hide the rubber bands. 

6. I poked and pinched and prodded till it looked how I wanted, and sprayed. A lot.

The next step is really very important. Please pay attention.

7. I then applied 3 coats of black eyeliner and mascara.

See? Crucial.

Here you go:

I'm now trying to think of things to do today to show off my rad do. Housework just isn't cool enough.

Day 27

Hippie braids

Once you get the hang of it, this one is pretty simple. 

I did a braid on either side of my face, and pulled them back, and pinned them. Easy. 

The braids are kinda tricky.

Here's a closeup of the braids:

I'll tell you how it's done. 

Braid your hair like normal, kinda loosely, and don't tie it. Hold the middle strip of hair real tight in one hand, and grab the outer two strips in your other hand. Slide the two outer strips up while keeping the middle one tight. It should create this loopy braid, but it sometimes has to be tweaked and played with to get it perfect.

Day 26

Pink

I just sprayed some temporary pink color on a few strands in the front.

Day 25

The Chic Updo

Yay! Another tutorial video!

I have a lot more hair than her, so it took a few more bobby pins and a lot more convincing to get my hair to lay right. I also didn't curl it before hand, because I'm lazy.

Day 24

Bow Bun

I found this tutorial on Pinterest this morning, and thought I'd give it a shot!

http://beauty-tutorial.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-bow-bun-tutorial.html

My hair is quite a bit shorter than the model's, so I have a lot more fly-aways, but it was super easy, and pretty cute!

Portia says I look like Minnie Mouse.

Day 23

Side Bun

Pretty much the same as a side pony, but twisted into a bun.

Day 22

Peasant Updo

This one is kinda tricky. I backcombed the crown, and twisted the sides down and back. Then I pulled them into low pony. Then I made the pony into a bun and pinned. 

The tricky part is getting the sides to twist evenly, and it always takes me several tries.

The back:

The front:

Day 21

Knotted Headband

I used to do this hairstyle at least once a week in middle school. I thought I was sooooo cool. 

I didn't know how to explain this one to you, so I made a video!

Pocahontas was really excited about her new look.

Day 20

Braid Bun

This looks way fancier than it is.

I did a simple braid down the back, and tied it. Then I wrapped the braid up on itself and pinned away.

You can make it even fancier looking by doing a more complex braid, like a fishtail.

The back:

The front:

These pics were taken post-zoo, so excuse the fuzzy hairs. 

Day 19

Guys, I have a problem.

This morning, I woke up and did my hair. I took a photo. It's now 11 pm, and that photo cannot be found. My hair has since lost its curl and now looks like a bird's nest.

So...

No picture today.

BUT I did do my hair! I washed it this morning, so after drying it, I whipped out my big curling iron (probably 1 1/2 inches) and curled my hair away from my face, kinda like wings.

You got it, like Farrah Fawcett!

Now I'm going to be honest, my hair wasn't quite as fabulous as hers, but what can you do? She's Farrah Fawcett.

Day 18

Ready for something a little more complicated?

Here we go!

This is one of my favorite updos. Its pretty and sophisticated, but it doesn't have to be perfect.

I curled my hair, and backcombed the crown. I pulled the top half up and back and pinned it. I left one curl out in the front, but you don't have to. I then pulled the rest of my hair back and pinned it until I liked how it looked.

When doing something like this, grab a few extra bobby pins to keep in your purse for when little rebellious hairs try to escape. Because they will. Jerks.

Day 17

Curled at the Ends

I curled the ends.

I'm starting to get to the end of my list of easy hairstyles, so expect to see some fancy stuff coming up!

Day 16

Top Knot

Stuck it in a bun on the top of my head. Can it get any simpler?

Day 15- halfway there!

Braided Fringe

I love easy hairdos. 

I braided my bangs off to one side, and pinned it. The end.

Day 14

Big Hair

Volume! Who doesn't want more of it?

Today, put my hair up in a twisty bun while it was still a bit wet, and let it dry. When I pulled it out, there were some pretty waves. I backcombed all over to give it some oomf, and I went a little crazy with a spray wax. (Redken Wax Blast 10)

Day 13

Scarf

Today is a hard day for doing hair, since my wrist is in a brace and not very movable. (No worries, just a bit sore.)

I pulled my hair back into a pony, and made a sloppy bun. Then tied a scarf around  my head. 

On another note, Brandon gets his MCAT score back tonight!! WOOHOO!!

Day 12

Today, we're goin vintage!

I curled the ends, and pinned one side back, and applied heavy eye makeup.

Va-va-voom!

Day 11

Half Up

I was in a major rush this morning, and this is quick. Here's the back:

(not a great picture, I know)

And the front:

I just part off the top section of my head, and pull it back. I like to twist it before I pin it, just to spice it up.
