Beachy wavy curls for EASY-PEASY.

Do you dig easy hair?
Do you dig pretty hair?
I do! I do! Both!

I've been doing these for the past, like, week {not really sure, it's summer, who needs to be sure, right?} Anyway.

All I do is:
1) Shower at night.
2) Let hair air dry a little bit {a little bit more wet than damp, but not totally WETWETWET.}
3) Twist hair up into one low bun. If you can, use only bobby pins and no ponytail holder.
4) Sleep. {My favorite step..}
5) Wake up, take the bun out, and finger comb.
6) Blow-dry on a low setting if it's still a little damp.
7) Enjoy!

I have only tried this on myself, so the only hair I know that it for sure works on is long straight hair. I'm sure it can work on other hair types, but if any of you readers {if I have any readers... haha awkward.} want to test it out and tell me how it works for you in the comments, that would be just peachy.

Any ideas??

This is a problem.


Whenever I cut my brothers' hair, I get a big fat hairy (literally) mess, and no matter how intently I sweep, I just don't get all the hair up. Then we are dealing with nasty little stubs of hair all over everything for a week. And I mean, it gets EVERYWHERE.

Does anybody know a more effective way of cleaning this stuff? Someday when I have some sort of income, I'm gonna invest in one of these babies to do it for me:


It tracks down the dirt and hair and dust and such. BY ITSELF.
Because it's a robot.
...
Can life get any better? I submit it cannot.

SO anyway, while I'm still an income-less student, does anyone have any idea how to keep the hair under control after mens haircuts?

Thanks.
Over and out.

Shout it on the rooftops!

So, here's my long-term vision for this blog.
I'm just a goofy little high school kid, right? Right.
So I am not expecting instant worldwide success with this blog or anything.
But I want to spread the word of it. Far and wide. The more followers I get, the more I'll post tutorials. The more tutorials I post, the more people will come and tell even more of their friends. The more that happens, the more popular the blog gets. Next thing you know, you got sponsors, ads, the works, and I begin to make a little cash off of "a little blog that I started in high school".
It's a good plan, no?

So tell your mother. Tell your sister. Tell your grandfather's fishing buddy. Unless he has a questionable past. That's one thing I don't need right now.

I WILL be posting at least once every 2 weeks, since I regained a camera. The goal for now is once a week, but I'm taking baby steps and committing to every 2 weeks. I can chew that bite.

That's all I had to say. It's good to be back.

Guess what?!

I am very much trained in the art of haircutting. If you or someone you love is in need of a haircut, do call. Actually, tell someone you love to go to a salon. I only want to cut your hair if I know you. Exclusive, I know.

I am also purty good at nails. Which I thought would NEVER happen, since I pretty much used to stank. I wish I could post pictures of some of the artsy creations I've made on nails, but my camera broke in like September. I know, way lame. That's why I haven't posted any tutorials, silly! My dearest mother promised me a new one when I finish my second semester of American History Online. So I'm workin' on it.

In the meantime...
Wanna know the bestest thing since sliced bread?!
Like I said, I'm not much of a nail-painting kinda gal. But that's for these reasons:
A) It takes too freaking long to dry.
B)It looks tacky if it doesn't match with my outfit. I know. Picky.

Problem A is taken care of by Maybelline's Express Finish 60 second nail color.
DISCLAIMER: It doesn't actually take 60 seconds. I counted. It takes like 3 minutes. But that's way faster than other nail polishes. And the color above? I bought that stuff. It's called "Racy Red". And oh my lanta. I like. A lot. It's fire truck red, and it looks good on my phalanges. Ha. I said phalanges. What a freak.
It's also really cheap. I can't remember the exact price, but I'm basically positive I wouldn't have bought it if it cost more than 2 or 3 bones. Yerp. I'm cheap-o.

Also, Problem B is solved because I have been way into the whole clear-nail-polish thing. With nail art on my thumb. Me like. Yesshhh.

The end.

P.S. Sorry for being a little bit more freak-like than usual. I'm ill. It happens.

Hello there, world.

I am not dead.
Just busy. :)
I started cosmetology school on August 9, 2010. I love it.
My teacher is great, the girls in the class are nice, and I am learning lots.

(Here is me and my new friend Janice. I sure do like Janice. Sorry for being a stalker and stealing this off of your Facebook, Janice...)

I have now been trained in:

Perms (I am super good, I got an A+ on the test)
and Relaxers (We only worked on these for a week. I could use more practice before you put yourself in my hands for this one ;) )

Little FYI I have learned in cosmo school:
Got dandruff?
Doubt it.
Turns out, dandruff isn't what we think it is. Do you have a flaky, itchy scalp with white stuff coming off?
It's your lucky day, because all that is is dry scalp. Stop wasting your money on dandruff shampoo, because all it is doing is relieving the itch. Use some moisturizing shampoo or conditioner.
Dandruff is actually really gross. If you go to a salon to get your hair done and you have real dandruff, they have to refuse you and refer you to a doctor.
Dandruff is:
(I was going to put a picture here, but the one I found was pretty grody. So you're welcome...)
Dandruff is actually green stuff that grows on your scalp in patches. It is really gross and does itch, but I assure you that you probably don't have it.

Thats all I have for today. My camera completely died, and I don't really have money for a new one right now, but I'll get one soon and then I can post actual tutorials!

Crossover Braids

This one is one of my favorites for little girls. But if you have medium length hair and think you can pull off the sprouty look, this would definitely be cute on you, too!

We start with a part all the way down the middle.

Put one section into a ponytail. No need to make it smooth or nice, it is temporary.
Put the other section into a nice, neat, smooth ponytail at the nape of the neck.

Braid the smooth ponytail almost all the way down.

Repeat on the other side.

Take the right braid, and cross it over to the left braid, tying it off or pinning it at the base.

Repeat on the other side.

There you have it! A super-cute, sprouty hairstyle that, by the way, works great for wearing helmets and hats, because it doesn't get in the way. That's always good.
P.S. You have GOT to love Miss Boo's strawberry-stained lips. We have been eating them (the strawberries, not the lips) all week long! Spring is finally here!

Playing with her Click-Its

This 'do kinda makes her look like Penny off of The Rescuers. I told her that, and she automatically loved it.


Have a terrific day!

Taking Requests

It's not that I can't think of any tutorials, it's just that I don't know where to start. As of now, I will, and always will be taking requests.

So what hairstyles do YOU want to see?

Please comment.
