Hairdo A Day - One More!

It's back, this time I think it's the last time though.. Hairdo a day - woo! I've been looking at pin curls since I went to a Gatsby party but chickened out and just went for a curls and head band combo:

So, as I was a bit of a wuss that day, I thought I'd give pin curls a proper bash. After sleeping like this (there's about 8 pin curls in my hair here):

I merely unpinned and brushed into waves in the morning. It is the easiest style I have ever tried! I've always wondered how people get those perfect vintage waves and now I know.

Sadly though, it mostly dropped out by lunch, so I'll be trying it on wet hair tonight, follow me on Instagram for an update.

The return of Hairdo A Day!

You heard me, I had another new hairdo today, that takes me up to 22 days now. So, after sleeping like this:

This morning I quickly pinned my hair into one giant victory roll around my whole head!

Now, it's pretty messy and I really need a new more attempts at this to perfect it but for a first go, I don't think it's so shabby.

Wonder what I do with me time?

When I'm not stood in front of a mirror pinning, curling or back-combing my hair, I have a real day job that keeps me occupied. I take pretty pictures of shoes for schuh:

Great Gatsby Help!

I can not express how excited I am about the Great Gatsby films, I mean it just looks like a feast for the eyes (like most Baz Luhrmann films)...

I mean, when the clips of the soundtrack sound like this, it's no wonder I'm stupidly excited!

However, this isn't just an excuse to gush over the film but I am going to a Great Gatsby party and 1920s fashion is not my thing, no matter how much I love it I'm a 50s girl at heart. So, I need your help! Hair and dress inspiration from the 1920s is needed. Tweet me, email me, or leave a comment on here and help me put something together and I'll love you for a long time.

Hairdo A Day - Done

I've been a big quiet on the hair front but here's what I've been doing:

Day 16 - the photo isn't so clear but it's a headscarf tied like a turban and I loved it.

Day 17 - the tiny plait, now plaits are the one thing I always forget to do. I've had short hair for years and it wasn't until very recently that I remembered how pretty they can be. So here's a little plait that's pinned back.

Day 18 - the day I didn't know what to do and pulled a weird face, also known as the pink ribbon.

Day 19 - flower power part one. What with the sun shining away I figured it was time to go overboard with some flowers.

Day 20 - flower power part two. Now this is a rare occurrence, the fringe is away! A tidy little French plait to get my over grown fringe out of my eyes, decorated with little paper flowers that I found under my bed from my crafting days.

Day 21 - I'm not sure what to call this, I have had Princess Leia and a chick from Sailor Moon (I have no idea what that is either) but I prefer to think of it as 90s Gwen Stefani inspired look.

And with three weeks of hair under my belt I'm done, well, until I discover something fun to do.

My weekend of hair

Let's catch up with a weekend of hair shall we? So, after ripping apart my giant bow from my previous post (see it here), I managed to salvage the headband for day 12 and a cute, sleek bob.

Then for day 13 I decided to go big again, this time with a scarf for a rare summery day in Glasgow.

For Sunday, aka day 14, I decided to give both me and my hair a well earned day off! So here is my hair pretty much au natural for the first time in two weeks.

And finally, today, day 15, a style I always seem to refer to as the Shove and Pin - shove my hair and and stick pins in until it looks acceptable. It never fails me on a Monday morning when I can't quite focus in the mirror.

Hairdo A Day - The Big Bow

Yesterday I confessed my love for hair accessories and then went on a spree and attacked one of headbands that I never wear and make it into a giant bow clip and a fabric covered head band.

So this morning, big bow in hand, I did a top knot and gave it a fresh look by adding the massive bow under the bun. Now this bow is bigger than my face and at 7am I thought it looked ridiculous, but I stuck it out and I think I love it now...
