Everyday Hair

Hello everyone! Okay I have finally had time to get this blog up and going! Yay! First things first, I probably get the most questions about my hair than anything else so I thought a lot of people would enjoy this.

I guess I will start off with my hair color and cut, I get my hair done by my amazingly talented sister Kelsey Brewer (if you want contact information please message me on Facebook.) I usually give her a picture of the color I want and a picture of the cut I want, if I am wanting to change things up. I love to try new things with my hair. I have been Blonde, Brown, Burgundy & Black, I am not afraid of a little color.

Now the cut on the other hand is what I have trouble with. It all started in 7th grade... I got a HORRIBLE haircut by some crazy lady at Great Clips and now the front pieces surrounding my face literally never grow. So every time I try and grow my hair out I end up hating it and always go back to chopping it off. So I am a big fan of the long angled bob, and that is currently what I have now.

So let’s begin.

I wash my hair 2 times a week, sounds gross I know but it’s what my hair is used to so it doesn’t get greasy. If it every does have a little grease I will not run to wash it, I live for dry shampoo. My favorite being "Not Your Mothers, Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo". When I do wash my hair, I’ll wash it at night and sleep on it wet and the next morning it looks something like this...

The first trick I use is I DO NOT BRUSH IT OUT. I know, I know it looks like a horrible mess but leave it.

The next thing I’ll do is section out my hair, and begin curling away from my face. I use a 1/2in curling wand because I find that this is what works best for my hair at this length. I kind of hold like I’m about to kill someone with a knife. Sorry not sorry. (; Holding it this way helps me get the volume I want at the roots of my hair because the larger section is closer to the handle. I keep curling away from my face on both sides until I meet in the middle at the back of my head.

I just repeat this step until all sections are completed, leaving out the two front pieces at the top section surrounding my face.

 These pieces I curl a little different. Starting with my bangs I make sure the top of the wand is facing the back of my head and then wrap my bangs around it.

This helps to keep my bangs flowing away from my face all day long and gives me that "swoop" I like. I do the same with the other side of my hair so that both front sections flow away from my face.

After that I will finally brush out my curls. I love a more natural messy curl.

Next I add a few extensions into my front sections because like I said earlier, they do not grow so I like some extra hair in those sections to help fill in.

Now I back comb both front sections as well as the back section. Now my final trick to give off the illusion of fuller hair is I take a brush and back comb the bottom of my hair as well. I will back comb and then brush over the top layer so it doesn’t look like a crazy nest.

Now finally I will hairspray everything into place.

Best hairspray on planet earth. It literally locks everything into place without making it look crunchy. Your hair will not move with this hairspray. (I had to buy the mini size because its always sold out at Ulta)

And there is my everyday hair. It looks like a lot of steps but it takes me about 5-10 mins to do. I hope you enjoyed this, and let me know if you want to see more of these. I can do anything from different make up looks to hair looks to outfit ideas. I am up for anything! Stay tuned for my 30 day challenge later this week as well as... MY HOME TOUR! Woot Woot. I know you are all so excited! (; Thank you for taking some time to check out the blog it means the world!! Love you all.

Love Always,

The Crazy Collards
