Sleek Half Up Do How is this for an unconventional spin on a conservative Half Up Do? It's complex and simple at the same time. A definite show stopper.  Make you do a double take kind of show stopper.                                                 My model is Martha.   Martha was looking to keep her hair out of her face but still wanted high style. So to prep we used Moroccanoil Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. Moroccanoil Treatment Oil to detangle and protect. MO Volumizing Mousse for control then blow dry. Added a bit more Treatment to her tresses and  using the Brocato Vibrastrait Flatiron  gave Martha the perfect sleek locks she needed. Sectioning the hair from ear over crown to ear gave us what we need to work with. Put the lower half of the hair in a low pony to keep it out of the way. Make 5 triangu...

#Molly3 #Fishbone #Braid I love braids.  And it's a good thing too because they are everywhere! I think the thing that is so intriguing about braids is their versatility. Just scroll through Pinterest and you will be blown away  with the millions of ways they can be done.  Seriously mind boggling! So it was only fitting for Molly's last look in her ad's Trending theme to be a BRAID . And I think this Fishbone Braid is perfect. Love how you can see the ribbons of color weave through.  Remember we still have the extensions in Molly's hair for thickness, hilites, and texture.

#Molly2 #HalfUp #HalfDown Hopefully you read my previous post,  Now Trending : #MOLLY   so you have already met my sweet friend. Sponsoring Molly for her high school Scholarship Pageant has been so much fun. And I think the "Trending" theme has been perfect.  With our next look we did a super popular and timeless half up half down.                         So to give it some real boom pow we worked with the golden extensions that we had previously put in her hair.  This gives tons of Oomph to work with as well as adding a lot of texture to her final look. Separating off her crown section, we backcomb to give a base and lift.  Just a few push downs with the teasing comb does all you need.  Then pin this section at the base of the cushion  (where you backcombed).      Working on the right side, take her front sect...

Loose Braid Here are a few not so great photos of a loose braid that I did a week or so ago. I apologize for the bad photography but hopefully you can get the general idea.  All you need to do is braid your hair down the center of your head, curving the line to the side as you come to the bottom.    Once you have your basic braid in place and secured, take your fingers and run them under the braid as far as they can comfortably go. I start with the top to set the level of fullness that I want to see. (Starting with the sides can leave you with ruffled, uneven lift.) Now slightly shake your hand back and forth, lifting upward. Do the sides next and preferably do the left and right at the same time so they look even as well. Slide fingers in and under, slightly shake and lift. Lastly, repeat on the sides of the head below the ears to loosen the nape area. Looks cute, huh?  It's a great relaxed and romantic summer braid.  Check out this picture...
