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.)
