Confession.
I spend 20some minutes on my makeup every morning and only 3 minutes on my hair. Okay, maybe it's more like 1.
I have never had patience to do my hair, I am naturally (and proudly) a pony tail girl, tomboy at heart. Having very thick and very straight hair makes for a frustrating process that I tend to avoid, which means I have the process down to an art. I wash my hair twice a week (usually Sundays and Wednesdays) and the days in between I use dry shampoo. On most days, I can wake up and go, without paying much attention to my coif.
Thankfully my friends, Sarah and Vanessa came up with a hair challenge, encouraging me to try new things. Which I kinda did.
For one week, I purposely did my hair differently each day in hopes of adding a little variety to my life, although, I have to admit, my efforts stuck true to my "get it done as quickly as possible" mantra.
All these hair styles took 5 minutes.
Observe.
The one look I would do, if I were to put 30 minutes into my hair is curly. I love my curling iron and it's the only one that can get me curls that last a day or sometimes more. For this look I curled my hair the night before :
and then usually when I wake up I have a beachy wave...'twas not the case this time, so I did it with a few curls hanging down and up in the back:
Also- I'm posting on The Blended Blog today, go see what I am yacking about for yourself!

The straightened/bangs forward look. Usually Day one of fresh shampoo |
The bangs braided back look because they are starting to annoy me |
The half up, top knot look which falls on the last day I go without a wash. |
The braided back in a knot, which is my current fave. It is a close relative to the my go-to summer hair style that I even made a video of. |

And hair you have it!

ReplyDeleteOh my favorite is the last one! Thanks for linking up lady! Glad we could help get you out of your hair rut!
ReplyDeleteI would fail miserably at this challenge. I love all your looks. Maybe I should try just pulling my bangs back. Wait... that is wear my greys hide....
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that last look on you! So stylish! And those curls before bed! My hair falls flat 5 minutes later! I would wake up with straighter hair than I started with! lol! Thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteLove these!
ReplyDeleteI have the high pony, the milkmaid and the weave. Oh and the ratchet. That's when I haven't washed it all week.
I'm inspired to try something new/different with my hair now. I'm crushing on you in the last look. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Casey! I'm trying to grow it out and am loving your length.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness....you're gorgeous! My hair looks the same every day, because I have no idea what to do with it. I'm hopeless. When I win the lottery I shall have a hairstylist who goes with me everywhere!
ReplyDeleteOH man, you make me laugh. The milkmaid...love it.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks! Movie or pedi or coffee soon.
ReplyDeleteI have tried even more this week...you'd be proud!
ReplyDeleteha, I should have noted that I don't do the hair up look when I'm a week or two out of my colour appt...them damn greys.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fantastic link up idea!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see you with curly hair.
ReplyDeleteYou always have gorgeous hair!
ReplyDeleteLove these looks!! Especially the last! I envy you...2 washes a week! Oh and I love that lip color on you!!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty you are with your hair up! I like the little curled wisps. I am so hair challenged that combing is a big deal for me. Can't use a curling iron, can't do anything special at all. Love all of your great looks.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!
