a hair tutorial

I consider my hair routine to be pretty straightforward so this is probably going to be old news to most of you, but I've gotten a few requests lately so here it is! Hopefully it's at least a little helpful for those who asked.

First start with clean, dry hair.

Then you'll need your product of course. These are the two I use almost daily {when I don't, it means my hair is on top of my head, takin' a day off from little hands} but I'm loyal to only one of them. To me, hairspray is hairspray is hairspray. Dry shampoo on the other hand {in my experience} can go really wrong or really right. I've tried several name brands out there, but I just keep coming back to Suave. It smells amazing, leaves your hair with crazy volume and texture and makes your hairstyle last for days. Also, I use the keratin version because my hair has a tendency to be frizztastic in its natural state, but the regular version is really great too.

Spray your roots with the dry shampoo.

Then rub your hands through to absorb.

Pull the top half of your hair back so that you can have easier access to the lower portion of your hair. Gather a strand and loosely wrap it around the curling iron {I use a 3/4 inch barrel}, leaving the end of the strand out of the iron.

Release the curling iron and pull on the strand to prevent too tight of a ringlet

and it'll look something like this

Continue the curling on the remaining lower portion of your hair and then finger comb it all together.

It should leave you with a soft wave

Take the remainder of your hair down and continue the curling process

When you get to the face framing pieces just put a slight bend in them, as opposed to a full curl.

Again, finger comb through the curls and lightly spray the ends with your favorite hairspray

And you're done! All together, it takes me about 10 minutes and with the use of dry shampoo, I can get it to last about three days.

Here's to happy hair!
