Trend Time!





Ok, so for a while I had been ready to lose my long locks but I think I'm past it now. ( Well, at least for a little while anyway. ) You know how it is, about the time your ready for the big chop; you wake up one morning and your hair has magically grown to a workable length.  So now I'm pretty excited to work these styles for the spring and summer.      
    
I am LOVING this ponytail tie.  Isn't it cute and how easy will this be??  I'm thinking of all kinds of materials that can make this simple look go with all different kinds of outfits. 
 A leather strap, a sheer ribbon, satin ribbon (obvious choices) but what about
tennie shoe ties for post workout?  Braided cording? 
You've got an imagination, I'm sure you can come up with a bunch of ideas too. 
You'll have to send some to me and let me see how creative you can be!!    jennyleighsblog@gmail.com


So this look gets credit from ......... Calvin Klein. 
 Ok, so that wasn't that hard to figure out. You can pretty much count on Calvin to give you easy, relaxed hair.  May be one reason why I love him so much.  So anyway, once you curl this on a medium to large barrell curling iron you can lightly brush out the curls so they will relax into the beautiful waves.  "Urban Waves" if you will.  Please note that although this is a super relaxed style, it is brushed!  The ends do NOT look straggely.  It does take a bit of work to look like you didn't. 


Last but not least is my FAV  ---   the "Top Knot". 
I've been rocking the Top Knot for a while now and it is the best. 
Second day hair, no prob.  Want it out of your face and not have to do the ponytail again?  Top knot.  Need to look polished and put together?  Top Knot.  Fashionable?   Uh,...yes! 
It goes uptown or downtown.  Or even to the gym.  It's like a miracle breakthrough!!!    (maybe too many late night info-mercials for me ) Think I'll post on this again soon. 
Tell me, would you dare wear the "Top Knot"?? 

If you stopped by I'd love for you to follow.
It makes me feel loved!
~Thanks friends~

    I love the top knot. I just can't master the polished top knot, where it looks like a perfect doughnut. Mine just looks like a pony tail folded in half-messy!

    Anya, I think it depends on the length of your hair. How many layers you have and how much strong hairspray you have! haha

    You can always try the sock method or purchase a donut form to wrap the hair around for a more polished look. But don't discount the cuteness of a messy top knot!
    Hope that helps.

Sleek, Shiny Braided Chignon

This is such a pretty look.  It goes super dressed up or super casual. Either way, it's a classic with an interesting twist. One that is sure to make others want to get a closer look to see how you did it. And the big bonus is, it is SO easy. Love easy! So we are borrowing a few pics from an earlier post, the  braided bun . (click on "braided bun" to take you there) So first, we start off with a braided ponytail.  This can be high on the head or lower. I'll elaborate on that at the end of the post. Then give the braid a slight tug to loosen and soften the braid.  It'll make the braid more pliable. Now just simply wrap the braid around your ponytail band and tuck the ends under. Pin on bottom first then pin on top to secure. Pin around the edges and since a braid is heavier and stiffer, it may take a few pins to make sure it holds. Sorry there aren't any pics of this stage but it's hard to snap all the steps. ...

Beauty and the Bible

Psalm 149:4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. "He will beautify the humble with salvation"~~ If God were my Rachel Zoe, my own personal stylist, He would first choose to clothe me in salvation. "..Clothe me in salvation". Before He can do this He has to get me ready for my style session. This takes a bit of planning and thought. God must set the stage, so to speak. A good stylist plans, prepares, gathers needed material, and gets a full vision for the overall and complete look. In this case, I was so unattractive or plainly said, ugly as sin or maybe better to say "ugly with sin". This sin is so ugly that He cannot even look on me. If we started here God wouldn't even be able to take my measurements. God cannot be with sin. He sees this as a problem that must be fixed. We've got to wash sin away. The sin must go before anything can be done. As you've seen on What Not To Wear ...

Hi-dy Heidi

Hi-dy Heidi I try to do a twist on the traditional "before and after" pics as often as I can.    I really like the phrasing, "Inspiration to Commercial".   Most often people see a photo of a celebrity or a model and  use that as a request for their haircut. Now some hairdressers are not fond of clients bringing in pictures  but personally I LOVE them.   It is such a great tool for communicating with your client. It gives you something specific, even tangible, to point to as a reference. You can use it for bang length, perimeter length,  the point where layers begin or where fullness is in a hairstyle.   Things that sometimes get lost in translation when using words alone.  My beautiful model for this post is the lovely Heidi.   Having known Heidi forever, we have been through a lot over the years. We've also been through a LOT of hairstyles.   And some of them have been rather hysteric...
