Day 48 - Halloween two for one special

So I couldn't go out in public in my halloween costume, so the first hairstyle is my going out hairstyle... Acutally I lie. I had this great idea of a really cute textured bun, you know, the kind people with naturally curly hair have? Well, I "wrinkled" my hair, but every time I pulled it into a bun, it wasn't working with me. It was flat where I wanted volume, straight where I wanted waves, and frizzy all over. So I let down the wrinkled & threw in a twist for good measure. One of my favorite finds of this hair marathon was the braid across the back in day 30, so I improvised off that.


Then of course, there's Halloween. My hubby isn't a huge fan of dressing up, so I made the deal with him that I would be aturkey so he could be a hunter and wear the camo he already has. What do you think?

I wanted a really big bun, but I don't have that much hair, so here's what I did...

See what's wrapped around my ponytail?  I took some of my dress socks (4 to be exact) and wrapped them around to "stuff my bun".  hehe.

Prom Hairstyles: Prom Hairstyles for Less?

Have you even felt like being ripped by paying $45 for a trim. I always consider this is basically too much. That’s why I always think of ways how to keep low maintenance hairstyles.

I have friends even can tolerant to get their haircut once every 4 months with simple hairstyle.

Ladies, if you can't resist being a diva about the coif, just know that average prices will run you over $600 each year for highlights, cuts and product. There are several ways to chop your hair budget and still retain your chic, shaggy bangs.

Get a Student price

Students need practice before stepping into a salon as a certified stylist. While this may make you nervous, think about it for a minute — students will take the most care and time in giving you a great cut.

They are more willing to pay attention and focus than many stylists who've been in the business a long time.

Get trims from discount stylists

Before you snub your nose at Super Cuts, take note that even beauty magazine editors will visit the discount stylist between major style changes. As long as you have a good cut working already, ask for a "trim of the exact same style." They already have a good "map" to follow.

Preserve the quality and not quantity of your hair

Wash your hair every other day, even if you work out. Most shampoos have chemicals that strip many of your natural oils and leave your hair dry and brittle when used every day. Your hair doesn't need that much processing on a regular basis.


Choose styles that easily maintain

Short hair is cute, but cute costs. Longer styles don't need as much maintenance. Select a stylist who can give you a good cut that won't need a six-week check up. Go for mid- to long styles with layers.

Don't color your own hair

Those cheapy boxes at the drug store do occasionally fail to match the actual color to the box. You won't find out until the final rinse that Strawberry Fields was marked as Bold Brunette. Plus the chemicals are more abrasive than salon mixtures. If you need to splurge, do it on color, not the cut. Fixing a disaster will cost far more than a professional color job done correctly.

Seek samples of product

Just as at the doctor's office, you can score shampoo, conditioner, and gel products from salons and department stores. Ask around to find out what new products are being marketed to try a packet. Take one or two and be thankful, not a handful.

Buy product in bulk during sales

At the beginning of the school year and just before or after Christmas, the discounted shampoo/conditioners gift sets go on deep discount. Most sets also include a travel-sized hairspray or smoothing gel as a bonus.

Stock up during these key times of the year to get your favorite products at bargain prices.

How to Day 43

First step is to take the top section of your hair & twist it


Take that twisted section of hair & push up to encourage volume on top of your head. Secure the twist with bobby pins.















Take another small section of hair lower down & twist. Secure with bobby pins


















For the twist on the side, split hair in two. Twist both sections in one direction (counter-clockwise)



















Twist the two sections together in the opposite direction (clockwise) & secure with hairband.

Cornrows hairstyles for men

Designed as braids that lay very close to the head and cover the entire scalp, these small braids are created using sections of hair that has been divided to create a uniform appearance. The majority of the time it can take many hours to create the perfect cornrow hairstyle and is something that is typically seen in ethnic hairstyles.

Hooray!

I'm so excited because I finally found someone from Pantene Beautiful Lengths Program to talk to about my blog!  yay!

Really, you should consider donating your hair, especially if you love doing different hairstyles.  Think about the women who lose their hair to cancer, and how much just being able to do one hairstyle would mean to them.

You only need 8" to donate...  think about it.

So I went red! What do you think?

It's of course a semi-permanent dye to allow me to still donate my hair at the end of the blog.  Want to know what you need to do to donate your hair?

How I should have done Day 46.

The first pic is how my hair did look today. THen I took it out &
tried making it longer & hiding the extra a little better. It looks
better, but I think all in all there's not enough difference in my
layers to really make it right

Here's the youtube video that I used to try the style, maybe you'll
have better luck than I did...

How to (Day 45)


So here's my tip for beachy weaves... twist a small section of hair &
flat iron over it twisted. Leave it to cool (it should stay twisted
on it's own) while doing the rest of your hair. once all are cool,
shake it out & voila, beachy waves. If you're hair is really hard to
twist, you may want to hairspray it before the flatiron, or if you
know the night before, put mousse in your hair.

Day 46 - Plain Vanilla cut short

Day 45 is the first time I've tried the fake short bob. While it
turned out OK, here's what I'd do differently next time. 1) I'd
blowdry the top of my hair back, cause the layers fall to the side and
expose the back. 2) I'd make the "fold" on the hair underneath lower,
to match the length of the top layers so you don't see the space
underneath. 3) I'd tuck the hair differently. This time I made a
ponytail & tucked it under & through the hair and then pinned it on
top. (so it ended up being pinned right under the shorter layers)
Instead I should have tucked it & pinned it under all the hair. That
way if the top layers shifts, you wouldn't see all the pins & ponytail
ends. I'll try to get pictures tonight.

The asian hair is always linked with a unique look. Because the asian hair is very porous so it is a good feature as it can hold different hairstyles.

So, if you are an asian woman or man, then you should know that any hairstyle can suit you. Most of the asian women love to keep their long in length as they have smooth, silky hair. Long layered cut hair may be a wonderful choice.

For a formal occasion like wedding or prom, creating updo hairstyles are also easy with long hair. During the spring time, ponytails are certainly another asian hair style you can go for. LongAsian hairstyles require more maintenance than with short length hair.
