Short bob for the day

Hi friends,

It's fun to have a short hairstyle for a change, but of course only for one day.  I would never want to use scissors to achieve this look, just bobby pins and hair clips :-)












60's style chin-length bob for ankle-length hair

Hello friends,

     Last night I experimented putting my hair up in a faux-bob and liked the results so much I tried it again today.  I'm pleased to say that this hairstyle lasted all day long and only looked slightly tossed and windblown by night-time.  My friends who saw me with "short" hair were very surprised~ they love this look like I do and were relieved to know that no hair-cutting was involved at all, only bobby pins :-)
     I made a ponytail, then folded my hair up to chin-length.  I still had an arm's-length of hair left, so I piled that on top of my head and pinned it in place with bobby pins.  This beehive effect gives the overall look a 60's feel.



 

 
 

  

 

 
 




Braided Half-Updo for Long Hair

Hello my friends,

     Yesterday evening I tried out a hair mask recipe that I saw on Pinterest, and I absolutely loved it!  I whisked together 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons coconut oil and 2 tablespoons olive oil and put this mixture on my hair.  I covered my hair with a plastic grocery bag, wrapped it in a towel and left it for a couple of hours before rinsing my hair thoroughly in cool water and washing it at usual (condition-wash-condition method).  My hair was soooo easy to comb out, even though it was still wet.  And today it is shiny and soft like never before.  I will definitely be using this hair mask again :-)
     To take advantage and let my hair show how shiny and soft it was, I fixed it in my favorite Ginger Rogers' short half-updo hairstyle.  I did the braided version to keep tangles away all day long.











(I took a few pictures late in the day, just to see the difference between the bright morning sun and the softer evening light.)  




 





Mermaid Braid

Hello everybody,

Today I experimented with a new way to wear my hair "down" but not at its full length.  I ended up making a simple English braid, adding small strands of hair every few sections to create the mermaid-braid effect.  When I went down as far as I could reach behind my head, I finished my English braid off and braided the length of my hair into a bigger English braid.  I wrapped this bigger braid up and under, and held it in place with hair clips.  Surprisingly this hairstyle lasted all day long, and when I took it down it was hardly tangled at all!  I think braiding my hair before I folded it up and tucked it underneath is what kept the tangles at bay.
     Merry Christmas and sunny wishes for a beautiful day :-)
