Last Minute Hair

I'm baaaack and with a quick hair tutorial too! With a busy schedule and long days, I don't always have time to sit down and put in a roller set in my hair. Lately I've picked up the habit of just putting my hair in a lazy bun with a hair accessory, something I usually frown upon. So I've decided enough is enough and found ways to do my hair that's quick, simple, and still gives off that vintage vibe.

The first thing I did was take a curling iron, I think mine is either 1/2" or 1" but any normal size one should be fine, and curled the front section of my hair back. I then set it with a large sponge roller.

With the rest of my hair I took the same curling iron and wrapped sections of my hair around the barrel of it, like you would with a curling wand.

The curls should come out to look something like this:

When curling my hair, I did it sporadically giving my hair almost messy curls (aka I was running late and didn't have time to be neat/ precise)

I then took the front section out of the roller and brushed it forward. It made a weird curl thing so I decided to go with it and pinned it in place.

And that's it! It took my around 10-15 minutes to do which isn't too bad. I ended up adding a hair flower to make it pop a bit as well.

Now you're ready to speed walk to class before you're fashionably late!

Curls and Faux Fur

Happy Monday everyone! Today I decided to set my hair in an actual pattern *le gasp* after weeks of just rolling my hair in a sporadic mess. The set I used was from Lauren Rennells' Vintage Hairstyling. Even though I followed the set exactly, my hair still turned out slightly different than what the final product looked like, as my hair never fully cooperates. Nonetheless, it still looked nice!

Instead of a wet set like the book instructed, I did a dry set as that works best for my hair. I rolled the front section with 4 small rollers and used medium/extra for the rest of my hair, making sure to leave the crown of my head flat. 

The book also used pillow rollers but since I didn't have any, I continued with the sponge rollers and split the rest of my hair into 3 rows.

ahh, the dreaded before picture

After sleeping in the set, this is what my hair looked after I removed the rollers and before I brushed the curls 

out.

After tons of brushing, hair manipulation, and pomade, this was the result:

front view

I adore the bangs because they're a little Diana Dors-esque (I worship her and her hair)  

back view

Since, I used sponge rollers instead of pillow ones, the curls weren't as loose as they were supposed to be; but they lasted through the entire day which was awesome!

And there you have it! A quick tutorial (?) to get you through the long week (now back to tackling this homework...sigh)
