hayyyy! how I curl my hair: a Vlog

let's call this: the Horizontal, Wrap, & Hold!  {update}

I did this style on clean hair, air dried, with no product.  if it's a night out, I might spray it with an all over hold spray when done curling.  BUT!  It can be done anytime, to add a top layer of texture,  and wave to any hot mess going on underneath! using small sections, only on the crown, start from one side of your head and work around the back to the other side of your head.  Hold the iron barrel horizontally as you wrap the hair from the scalp to the hair end, don't clamp the iron {unless you are lazzzzy, like me ;) }  hold for 10 seconds.  That's it!  ohmylord.  I swear I will never, ever, Ever, EVER shake a curling iron at you  and say never, ever, ever, Ever ~ EVER again. 
yes.  I'm hiding under my bed right now. and praying this isn't how I really sound IRL. Tristen warned me not to post this. hopefully we can all still be friends.
it's NOT groundbreaking, but Marina ~ YOU are the You!  hope this is what you wanted to know! mad props to all you ladies in the vlog world, cause it's real easy to sound and look an idiot. *cough*cough* if you watched it ~ kisses!! <3
here's the final product:

easy peesy beautiful up-do

1// Let that hair down!
2// section off the crown

3// create small, tight curls around entire crown,
we used a 1/2 inch curling iron barrel
4// spray to hold

5// readjust pony to side of head, behind ear
6// gently piece out each curl

7// use bobby pins to loosely pin back the curls, just above the side pony
8// it should look like one hot curly mess

9// all curls are loosely pinned and ready to create the side pony!
10// take off pony holder,
pull out a thin piece of hair, and
repony the hair, leaving out the extra thin piece of hair

11 // wrap the piece of hair around the pony holder,
secure with bobby pin,
Repeat as desired down pony,
we created 3 as Karley has very long hair.

pull on hair to create poof between ponies

voila!
an easy peesy romantic updo!

I picked up this amazing wedding hairstyles book right after Rhett and I were engaged and have been dying to try out some of the do's.  My beautiful little sissy, Karley, agreed to be my muse.  We'll take turns, some do's will be on me, some on her, but we're hoping to get through the book and discover some new ways to manage our manes!

..and I just realized that we chose the 'do on the cover for our first shot!!  How do you think we did?  Would you try it?

it was truly easy peesy!  I will be trying it on myself this am.

Happy Wednesday!
