So I had put a picture up yesterday about how I got some pretty voluptuous ....wait wait....*googling the definition for "voluptuous"*
Oh boy. NOT the word I meant. Lol!! Sounded nice, but not really what I'm going for. Let's just say I got a lot of volume out of my hair by doing a few simple things.
1. I mostly let my hair air dry. Unless I'm in a hurry. I decided I wanted some waves yesterday, but not overboard curls. It's only Wednesday night. No need for all that fancy hair. So I started out by curling little sections of my hair.....Man. I really should have taken step-by-step pictures. That would probably help. Lol So just picture this. Section off your hair by pulling it all up, except for the bottom layer, in a clip. Pretty basic hair-curling. Curl the entire piece pretty tightly. Sometimes I leave the ends kind of straight, so I don't look like Goldilocks. But this time, it's ok to take that curl all the way! Lol Curl all of the pieces away from your face. Then let down another section of hair, and do the same until you're done. It's going to be uber curly. Like Goldilocks.
2. Brush through those curls and pull them straight down. What I mean by that is, don't let them all fuse together into giant curls. It's really easy for them to do that.
3. Get out yo straightener, (don't ask...I sometimes have ghetto tendencies that I can't control) and quickly go over each curl. How curly or how wavy you want it all depends on you...you can speed through those curls, or you can go a little slower when you are straightening. Be sure to start fairly close to the top. You don't want little curls at the top of your head, and then big ones at the bottom. That would look silly...just in case you weren't sure. Lol
I have observed sooo many ways girls curl their hair. Not on YouTube or Pinterest, but growing up. I wish I could go back and tell my old self, "Rethink that hair." lol. But I have learned a lot. And I still am. Since I've had two babies, my hair is NOT the same as it used to be. I had one huge long "hair journey," if you will, when we lived in Elgin. It just seemed to get worse and worse. From getting a $130 bleach (which is NOT what I asked for. I even gave the lady a picture for crying out loud), to going completely dark brown with whatever you want to call it underneath. I have been so wronged until I came back to Pike County. After years of having horrible hair, it felt great to have it done right!!!
Is it bad to want to get a hold of people's hair and makeup of just about everyone I meet? Maybe I have a weird obsession. Just maybe. Lol Not saying that they do it badly, I just want to see what I can do with it! I blame the hoooouuurrrsss of time I had to myself as a teenager. I would be in the bathroom for hours doing my hair and makeup. I had all the time in the world! Now I barely have time to pluck my eyebrows! Can I get a witness?! Most days it ends up in a bun on my head. And half of it gets ripped out from the girls jumping on it or putting bows in my hair. Ouch....my scalp hurts just thinking about it!
How did this "tutorial" end with my weird mommy confessions?? Oh well....hey, it's my blog. Lol I'm just keeping it real! ;) You can see a little how my brain works. Whiiiich...is scary. I know. Lol
But next time, I will do step-by-step pictures to make it so much easier!! :) If any of yall try this, take a picture, and let me know how it goes!!!! I'd love to see!!! :)
P.S. Anything you want to know, please FEEL FREE to ask!!!! Anything goes....:)
