Curls

This isn't innovative, but I wanted to tell you about a product that was brought to my attention. Thermal Heat Setting Spray.

I like to pride myself on knowing about hair. I have had short hair for a while and I love finding new products for it. But this one flew under my radar (well mostly because my hair holds curl well.)

As I've said before, Sophia's does not. No matter HOW MUCH I hairspray. I even tried hairspraying before (also bad, do NOT do that..bad for your hair). So a hairstylist I know suggested I try thermal heat setting spray. I bought ours at Sally's. They only had one brand. They carry it at salons tho. You spray it on before you curl. HINT: Do NOT spray all over hair!! Spray each spot at a time..otherwise it all gets tangely and messy and a little sticky. don't panic, when it goes on, it WILL be sticky..but after it curls it isn't.

This is how great it held the curl. I'm excited! (Sorry they're blurry)

Fancy headband

Well, the headband itself is not fancy ;). The do is def cute for a flowergirl or something similar. I wanted to play more sort with how I did that twisted headband. With this one I took it all the way around the head instead of just the crown. I have a bunch of matching clips, but it looked okay without flowers. These are the only ones I had that matched..they're not my DREAM flower for this.

The hair going around the head. See where they meet in the middle? I did it that way because I could tuck that down with either a bobbypin or another flower clip.

I did it without the top two and decided to put two more in up there.

With the other two on the top

You can see the flower underneath in this one (I needed one more set of flowers, so you can see a band there)

Without any flowers

Crown N Curls

So this was experimental, it doesn't look the best. It has hope however, so I'm gonna keep trying (next time Sophia decides to sit still for a long time, that is.)

So take and twist

Grab in the next section of hair

And twist them together

And so on. We took a break right here. Then we continued around that side and around the back to the other side.

Bad picture, sorry. Wiggly.

Then just added some curls.

You can see where it ended on the other side I had a rubber band. Covered it with a bow, put another matching bow on the other side.

Mop Top

Today I messed around a little. It'll take some perfecting, you'll see what I mean.

So, High pony.

I put a really waxy pomade on my hand and pulled the hair through it like this

Then tucked them under like this and bobby pinned them.

What it looks like after you pomade it. Makes it nice and pliable. I use bed head's waxy stick. Its REALLY nice and strong.

Basically I just started in the front and worked my way around..made sure to leave some extra in the middle to fill in spots that had a hole.

I didn't have a ribbon that matched, unfortunately. I just threaded it through and tied it in back. It looked fine without the ribbon. Can't decide which way I like it better. (Ignore the curls, they didn't stick around..her hair doesn't curl easily, but it'd be cute if you can get yours to!)
