Day 28, Halo Braid

Halo Braid
I am really excited about this one. It has taken me this whole time to get this braid and its not even as good as it could be. I have done this braid on Dylann a million times, it is so easy to do on other people. Doing it on your self is another story!!
 Its a french braid all the way around your head.
 I am very happy that I have been able to FINALLY do this braid on myself

Day 27, curly twist

Curly Twist
After I spent a good 20 mins on my hair, it was all done and the way I liked it, I find out that it looks a lot like a Sunday Style on day 16. I promise you I did something different.
I curled my hair, and used the curls to pin up my hair, no hair ties. I added a little flower. I was happy with it and didn't have time to change it b/c I had to get to work. Sorry. It was put together different but, looks the same.

Day 26, Headband

Headband
Today was a pony tail kind of day. I thought why not do something with a headband. Headbands are really big right now, all the stars are wearing them now.
 I just added a lot of body in the back, and did a fun bun, with the headband.
Simple, easy, fun

Day 25, Madien braids and beehive

Maiden Braids plus a small beehive
I did the Maiden braids and the beehive before. I hated the maiden braids on me, I love them on other people, just not me. I loved the beehive, I am totally going to be doing that style again. I thought I would combine it together.
 It is super easy. Start out with a beehive, pin it just like you would if you were going to keep your hair down. Then take the rest of the hair and split it, making braid pigtails. Then pin them up and over.
 I really liked this and I think I will be doing this one again.

Day 24, Crimped

Crimped
Today I did a little rock star. I used my crimper.
 I washed my hair and blow dried it. I didn't straighten my hair I just left it going a little crazy. I just added some crimp throughout the hair. I just did peaces, and started some half way down my hair.
 I added a little braid in the front to add a little extra. If you don't have a crimper, you can braid your hair at night and then take them out in the morning.

Day 23, Amy Winehouse

 Amy Winehouse
I thought I should pay a little tribute to the iconic bee hive. I thought I would do something BIG in all meanings of the word. I know I did something like this on day 8, with the 'Everyday Snooki' but this is bigger.
Amy always had a bee hive, ALWAYS, she has been interviewed before saying her hair isn't big enough. I know my hair could be bigger but this was the middle of the day and it calmed down a little.
The thing that makes this totally Amy Winehouse is the head band. She always had a head band or used her hair as a head band.
She wasn't my favorite but, you can't argue with a good bee hive, it is a style that will never die!!

Day 21, Embrace the mess

Embrace the mess
Another thing that is really big now is messy hair. I have seen some movie stars with hair like this.
 What I did was a side braid, pulled it part, and pulled some pieces out. Then the pieces that I pulled out I wrapped around the braid and tucked into different parts of the braid. Then I topped it off with a braid on the top. The messier the better
 The whole thing!!
I hate this face I am making, so I am sorry for that. Just look at the hair.

Day 20, Hair Bow

Hair Bow,
What really? Yea really, this is my real hair. I didn't add anything to it but bobby pins and a rubber band.
 Thought I would pull out the big guns today!! What do you think?
 You can also do it half up if your hair isn't very long. So fun!!

Day 19, Waterfall Braid

Waterfall Braid
This braid is so hot right now, and it is pretty easy to do. It just takes a lot of practice to do it on yourself.
 My hair is so dark it is kind of hard to really see what it is supposed to look like, but its still fun to do.
 So I only got one braid pic, form my good friend Rachel. She is so cute and she has a super awesome craft  blog too. She sent me this picture last night. It was a perfect one for my day today. You can see the waterfall better on her b/c she has highlighted hair. Thanks Rachel, e-mail me the colors you want and I will make that flower for you!!

Day 18, French twist

French twist
The French twist really is an easy style. It took me about 2 mins to do this.
I start out with twisting my hair in a low pony tail. Then I pull it up, keep twisting and twist it under on one side. Then I put a million bobby pins in to keep it in place. Simple and easy.
I thought I would show you some of the product that I use on a daily basis. It is so important to use products to keep your hair healthy and shinny.


This is one of my new favorites! I use this on wet hair, I really spray it good on my ends. Since I have really long hair, my ends are a little damaged. This helps to put protein back into my ends to help close the split ends.


Moroccan oil one of the best new products out there. I put this in my hair wet. I put about a quarter size in my hand and rub it all over my hair. When I use it I can really feel a difference in the way my hair feels. It adds a lot of shine, it also protects for every day ware and tare.




This is a product I use every single day with out fail. I have super thick hair and it is really frizzy. This helps to calm my hair down! I use about 2 pumps when my hair is wet, rub it through the whole thing and then later at night before I go out or something (you know when you have all those fly aways), I use about a half of a pump and start at the bottom to the top rubbing it through, to help lay down the fly aways. It also helps to make your hair feel a little bit thinner.











Every time I straighten my hair or curl my hair I use this. This is like sun screen for your hair. Just like a red head wouldn't go out in the sun without sunscreen on, you shouldn't flat iron your hair with out this. It helps to protect your hair from all that heat, it also helps so you don't burn you hair. I personally think that it helps to straighten your hair faster.











My dry shampoo, I know that I have talked about it before, this is what I use. I have really greasy hair, so I would usually have to wash my hair every day (which isn't really good for you hair). So I started using this for the second day, it helps my hair so I don't have to wash my hair for 3 days. That is awesome! I spray it on my roots, my hair line on the sides, and every where I feel it is a little greasy. Then I flip my hair upside down and shake, I shake the crap out of it, to get all the white off (it turns white on your hair). My all time favorite product hands down.



A really good hair spray. I love it! It's very clean and it doesn't leave your hair looking super hard or the wet look.













I hope that these products help you! I think everyone should use good products. It is also super important that you DO NOT buy products form the grocery store! The only place you should buy your hair products  from are salons and from your stylists. If you have any questions let me know!
p.s. yes I use all of these products at once. I only use the hair spray when I do some kind of up do.

Day 16, Sunday style

Sunday Style
Like I have said before we have church at 9 am. We have to get up at 730 to get ready and get the kids ready. The way I can sleep in just a little bit longer is by doing something really fast.
 Even though its fast it still looks good enough to wear to church. Added with a little hair flair!
 Great style for cuddling little ones, they wont pull your hair.
I will make a little tutorial soon for this one.

Day 15, Braids and a bun

Braids and a bun
I know sad, I couldn't come up with a name for this one. Anyways, I needed something that would keep my hair out of my face b/c I worked a 12 hour day today at the salon. This was so great I didn't have to worry about my hair all day.
Right side
 Left side, ignore the stink face 
 Back, I just brought the braids together and put it in a messy bun.
 It was really nice to have out of my face and off my neck,

Day 14, Massive Hair

Massive Hair
I know I told you on like day 2 that I don't like massive hair. I think it looks good on some people but me not so much. For some reason I thought lets do something crazy today!! Well this is end result
I put all my 10 million pounds of hair in sponge curlers last night. I know crazy. It took me about an hour and a half to get all that hair up. I didn't take a pic of what it looked like b/c Dylann kept saying I need to take them out that I looked silly and Bruce wouldn't cuddle me with my hair like that. Dylann also has been telling me all day that she hates my hair and that I need to change it. I don't think she can handle all of this.
Here is what it looked like when I took the rollers out and pieced out the curls
 taken with my phone
Yea I know crazy, So I added a little braid on top to kinda keep the top down a little bit. Hear is the back

What do you think of all the colors? I thought why not. Don't worry mom they are just extensions.
Don't forget to send me your braids. By tomorrow night. You could win something
