Ladies.....I need your help!
What are some easy, sexy up dos?? I have a wedding I'm going to tonight, and I have no clue what to do with my hair. I either throw it up in a messy bun or straighten it, and I want to do something new. Any suggestions??
-
This looks pretty easy?

I'm basically like you, I just throw it up or leave it down straight, otherwise I get it done by someone else haha. Good luck!

A really easy one that looks really classy when finished:
1) Wash hair, then dry 3/4 of the way.
2) Gather two medium sized sections from the sides of your scalp and braid back to 3/4 of the way down your head.
3) Put the two sections, as well as the rest of your hair into a pony tail.
4) Pull the pony tail through the holder to form a bun, then adjust the ends so they splay out slightly.

If you have really long hair like I do I have a really easy up do I do all the time. You can wear it classy or casual. I take my hair and pull it back twirling it into a ballerina bun ( put it at middle of the back of your head) take the bun and fold it under a section of hair (it may take you a couple times before it clicks in right) it should fold right under rolling into your hair. You can bobby pin it it. Takes me about 2 seconds but It may take a time or two. Best result do it wet. http://img.tapatalk.com/c6e4c9a0-db93-994f.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/c6e4c9a0-dbb4-2e18.jpg
I use it as a quick up do bc I don't like hair ties. And it actually stays quite put.
Ps its clean cages time so my hair and I look horrible. But I like the look of it when I do this one it's quick too.

I'm not much help. I have curly hair, so I flat iron mine when I get dressed up. What about a French braid?

I have a couple of ways I do my hair, but I would struggle to try and describe it to you! And I don't want to frustrate you with it. Goodness knows how infuriating hair can be when you're trying something new! :taz:
If you have any hair sticks or hair pins, then go to Youtube and look up some tutorials. I'm wearing mine up with a hair stick right now and always get compliments on it. It literally takes me 3 seconds to put up like this now. But when I first tried it, it took me a good 5 minutes to figure out what the heck I was doing, haha.
So, here's the key: Don't get mad. Try your best. USE product if you need to! You can wash it out later. Be prepared that it might not work, given the 'deadline' of this situation.
When worse comes to worse:
Braid it back and put it in a high bun. I'll sometimes leave two strands of hair down by my temples, braid those into mini braids and then drape them along the side of my head and pin them in with the bun at the base. Looks pretty good and it's pretty fast!
-
She is really annoying but if you have long enough hair I always thought this was cute.

Nice Mike. LOL Whatever you do you should post a picture of it. Also, make sure to make full use of the open bar if there is one (though any good Areican wedding should have one) and toss one back for me!

Yes and Yes!:banana::beer:

Let's see if I can help
These are probably my favorite styles to do. And I add a flower clip to pretty much any style. Either in the front, or back by the pins. I loooove the flowers!
3/4 part. Take the bigger chunk. Roll it in towards your face. Hair spray, pin it, hair spray, adjust. Then sometimes I'll take the remaining hair in the back, tease a little to add some volume, cover, and pin it in the back (if that makes any sense).

This one is simple. 3/4 (or a little more) part in the front. Take a good size strip and slightly twist away from your head, then push up...it creates kind of a wave look. This is incredibly hard to explain. I hope it makes sense. Take the remaining hair, curl it, and pin it all loosely at the bottom right or left of your head (whichever you prefer). Add a flower to the opposite side.

Roll the front, curl the rest.

Straighten. 3/4 part. Poof up the larger side. Clip it about half way in the back of your head.

Bettie bangs and a bee hive
http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n...PC250779ab.jpg
Or SUPER simple. Poof in the front. The rest curled.
This was Halloween. Haha.

What I usually do when I want to have my hair up and don't want to muss with it too much is a french braided bun. Here's how I do it:
1. Wash your hair and dry it so that it's mostly dry, but still a little damp. It will make a cleaner braid.
2. Flip your hair upside down and start french braiding the under part of your hair. Keep braiding until you get to where you want your bun to be on your head. Tie the braid off with an elastic, and then Tie all your hair into a pony tail where the braid stops.
3. Now you have two options:
a) Make a regular ballerina style bun, by back-combing your pony tail a little to give it volume, then twist it into a bun and pin into place.
b) Separate your hair into two sections and braid each section, tying them each off with a clear elastic. Take one braid and wind it around the base of your pony tail, and pin it into place. Wind the other braid around, but in the opposite direction. Secure with pins and tuck in the ends of your braids.
That way you'll have a bun with a french braid leading up to it. If you braid the actual bun, it looks really cool but you can only get clean braids if you do it with your ends damp, otherwise they have a tendency to jump out.

Thank you ladies for all the suggestions!! I actually went really lazy and just did a messy side bun. I have a pic but its not the best.

Don't mind the ugly black hairtie. I couldn't find my clear ones and I didn't have enough bobby pins to hold my hair :\
Oh, and here is a pic of the cake. Love it!!

Oh, and I couldn't use the open bar to my advantage. We had the reptile show on Saturday in Reading that we had to leave the house at 6am for. I did get a few drinks in me though :)

Alright Heather, back to you-
1) For going lazy I think your hair looked great!
2) You did say wedding, right? The cake is awesome but I would never guess that it was a wedding cake, so the bride and groom must be good people!
3) That SUCKS about not being able to drink your face off but I guess being first in line at a show so that you get first pick of what's inside is a worthy excuse! Then again, I wouldn't mind being hungover at a show, and if I was even still a little drunk it would help me to not feel bad about buying animals that were a little more on the expensive side!
4) Did you get anything at the show? Pictures if you did!

I know, she's gorgeous right?!?!
This was a side cake next to the actual wedding cake. Their wedding cake was small and wouldn't have fed everyone there, so I'm guessing they had a second cake made. Anyway, it gave me a damn good idea for my wedding cake ( if I ever get married :rolleyes: )
We were actually vending at the show so we had to be there early to setup. I was pretty tired since I didn't fall asleep till after 2am, and I might have had a tad of a hangover. :oops:
I did get something at the show, but I will make a new post on them :P

If you aren't married then I assume that the we at the show and wedding were you and your boyfriend? Marriage is over-rated. At present I am going through a divorce from Afghanistan, and after the way that things have gone for me over the last year I feel like the walls that I've built are so high and thick that when/if they ever come down I still may just stay single so as to prevent myself from having to rely on anyone else for my own happiness... but don't take a bitter old man's word for it. :) What did you sell at the show and did you pick anything new up?
-
You and the cake both looked great heather! :)
Im assuming the bride and groom must be snake people too lol
And courtney, why dont i ever see girls like you at the halloween parties i go to??? :rofl:
