Style 19. Braid on Braid Pigtails.

I usually NEVER wear pigtails. For some reason, it's just not my thing. They make me feel like a 2-year old...but I never even wore them as a 2-year old. BUT, I wanted to do something different, so I went for it and gussied it up a bit by doing braided pigtails with an inner braid in them. 

I have my Chem Lab final tonight! ewww. just saying. Wish me luck!!

Giveaway is over tomorrow, hit 'follow my blog' up at the top left to enter!

Style 18. Pinned French Braid.

When I started out with this style, I didn't really know where I was going with it, but here's how it turned out.

2 Days left to enter the GIVEAWAY!

Style 17. Twisted Tiara.

This one is super similar to yesterday's style, but I like it. It's a little different and not just your typical 'pin back the bangs' look.

3 more styles to go to 20!! 

Enter the giveaway if you haven't already!

Style 16. Braided Tiara.

I wanted something a little simple today, so here's what I got...

Here's the pic I was telling you about in the video.

Too bad I didn't have the pompom flowers to add to mine!! Here are the links for this pic and ban.do products if you're interested.

Almost completed the 20 styles!! Don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY before the 20 styles are done!

And a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little brother, who isn't so little anymore! He turned 18 today, imagine how old his parents feel ;)  Congrats Dad and Joy on your little one becoming an adult! xoxo

Style 15. Sock Bun w/o the Sock.

This one was a little rough, but it was a first try and it's not gonna be perfect so oh well.

The youtube channel that I got this idea from is Letsmakeitup1. You should check it out if you're all in to hair stuff! She def does it better!

Don't forget about the GIVEAWAY!

Style 14, same as 13, but different.

Haha, so today I did the same exact thing as yesterday, but instead of doing a ponytail at the back, I put it into a bun and pinned it in. It counts as a different style! :)

It's basically all the same steps, until the end when you pin it all into a bun. So if you want a how-to, click here for yesterday's video. 

Here are some pics!

It looks somewhat like a side braid, but it's just a twist. 

It reminds me of old victorian hairstyles...if only I was born earlier!

Giveaway almost done! Follow and comment to enter!

Style 13. Twists and Turns.

Here is a really quick and pretty easy style. All you need are three hair ties and maybe a couple bobby pins. 

Figured I'd start back up with the videos...they're easier to follow. :/

Rockin' the Gainesville Tee today, btw! haha!

Don't forget to enter the giveaway! Just follow and leave a comment! 

Style 12. More braids...I can't help myself!

I am becoming a little obsessed with braids, I just can't help it!!

Style 12. More braids!

This one is simple though, just two braids on the top of your head and pull them back into your ponytail or just let them sit above, it's up to you! And I straightened my hair first too, just to add more finesse.

You'll have to excuse the no-makeup...sorry!

Style 11. CrImPeD.

Happy Easter everyone!!

So with yesterday's style...if you let it sit for a bit (that rhymes ;)) or put a flatiron over each braid...OR even sleep in the style you can then have Style 11....CrImPeD hair.

I used to love crimping my hair when I was younger. I even had a special straightener that let you switch the hot plates and I had a zig zagged plate just for crimping.

ANYWAYs, here's the crimped style that I came out with from the braids. 

You might not be able to see it that good, but there is definite crimpage :)

I should work on my pictures, I will def start that when school is less stressful. 

Hope your wknd is ending marvelously!

Style 10. Braids, Braids, Braids.

Braids are like the "thing" these days...they are everywhere, including my head! :)

It started out like this. Typical poofy and randomly kinked hair.

I put small to medium size braids all over my head.

And secured each with fun, bright elastics.

Then I took one braid at a time and pinned it to the back with bobby pins.

It actually turned out pretty good, for never having done it before. I felt kinda like a modern-day Princess Laia.

Hope you all are having a wonderful Easter Weekend!! 

GIVEAWAY! and Style 9.

Today I'm doing my first official giveaway! Hopefully, it goes well...

So here it is!

All you have to do to enter is

This Conair tool is great!! It can straighten your hair or with a flick of the wrist, you can get a beachy wave! Perfect for summer! And if comes with a zebra print travel case!! Also, I'm including 10 elastic headbands in great summer colors. 

It was all inspired by this -do below. 

Once the 20 styles are over, the winner will be chosen at random. Make sure you include your email in your comment so I can get in touch with you if you've won!

Style 8. Back Clip.

I have this big clip that is just simple and you can get it at any beauty store. And they come in all different colors!

I just threw all my hair into the clip, then curled the ends, so get a more 'refined' look.

It's a great, easy look for summer, to get all your hair up and out of your face.

I got my first giveaway all organized and ready and I'll be posting it sometime this week!!

GET EXCITED!!! I AM!!! :)

Style 7, Slanted French Braid...Up.

I really liked that slanted french braid I did a couple days ago, so I did it again but tweaked it a bit.

I just took the end and twisted it up. Then pinned it with bobby pins to secure it.

I like the effect it gave, with twists and turns.

Hope you all have a marvelous weekend!!

HairStyle 5: On the STRAIGHT and narrow.

I figured it might be a little boring to make a video for this style...I just used a straightener and it magically took the weird kink out of my hair. The end result looks like this...

Straightening my hair makes it look so much better to me!! However, I don't always have the time to straighten it...in case you can't tell, I have really thick hair. It takes a while to dry and straighten, and really just do anything with it haha!

By the way, you can't really tell, but I got some new earrings. I love them! They are vintage white bow studs...here's a close up.

LOVE THEM!!

Style 4. Back Twisted Buns x 3

Day 4! I think I might start running out of styles soon...I'll have to scour the net for ideas...I've got 3 or 4 planned out, but after that we shall see. :/

Here's how you do three back buns. Btw, the sound got off track somehow...sorry.

Have a great Sunday!!

Day 4. Style 3, Back Twist.

Yesterday was a super busy day with school and such, so I didn't get a chance to record a hair-do. But, today I went with a back twist and a bunch of bobby pins. 

Hope you like!

By the way, I'm thinking of/getting together a giveaway! More details to follow!

Day 2. Ponytail, Inside Out

Today, I really just wanted to throw my hair into a bun and call it a day. But, I knew I should do something a little more than that.

So, here it is...Day 2.

Hope you all are having a good week!

Day 1. Front Side Braid

And it begins! Today, for style #1...I decided to start out simple. 

I've never done a video before, so hopefully it'll work :/

Let me know what you think! Or if you have any ideas!!

20 hairstyles in 30 days.

I used to have long, barrel-curled, flowing hair. I miss it, especially recently. I cut a good majority of it off last year and donated it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths to make wigs for women battling cancer. My hair is really thick, and there is lots of it, so I figured I'd grow it long and donate it.
It went from this...

and I cut about this much off...

and it ended up looking like this...I loved it, don't get me wrong...

but now, it's at that awkward stage of growing out when it isn't short enough to do its own thing above the shoulder and it isn't long enough to not have random pieces do a balancing act on the shoulders.

(excuse the bridesmaid dress try-on session, but the hair makes my point)

So, anyways...I am going to try and find 20 different hairstyles that work for my hair length over the next 30 days. And I'll share them with you, with instructions, just in case your hair is at its awkward length too!
