Lexie's Flight Attendant 'do

I colored my friend, Lexie's hair today! Its been a very very long time since we have had a chance to do it and her hair was looking sad. Being a flight attendant and us living in two separate cities creates a scheduling problem. Lexie has been my friend for a long time and has been my client since I was in school. She is my little guinea pig! One time I gave her an accidental rat tail, I've given her hot-roots( big NC), and some traumatic bangs. Lex is the best! Whenever we do her hair, whether its at the salon or my moms kitchen, we always bicker. About everything. Her hair, men, our mutual friends, you name it. Its funny and I wish we saw more of each other!
As I said, she is a flight attendant so she always needs hairstyles she can do herself that are "compliant" with the rules (p.s.-if you've ever seen the rule of compliance for a flight attendant, you'd shit. Its a ca-razy stack of papers about 3 inches thick). So after some meditation, I came up with this. Sorry for the bad photography, the lighting was bad and dark hair doesn't show detail as well as light hair.

The products I used...

After we rinsed out her color I sprayed her hair with Soy Tri-wheat leave in conditioner and some Soy Renewal by Sexy Hair. Then I blow dried it with a round brush. I teased her hair at the crown a little. I don't tease it too much, especially because Lexie doesn't her hair too big. One of the many things we bicker about. I took her hair in LARGE sections, sprayed them with a little Spray and Play by Big and Sexy, then curled them. Lexie has fine hair so I did her whole head in a about 8 curls. You might need to do it in more if your hair is any thicker than hers.

Next I sectioned her hair off into three sections. I parted the hair from the top of the ear on both sides like so...

Then I put the back section in a loose ponytail and push my fingers into the space between the ponytail holder and her head, as seen here:

Grab the hair in the ponytail and pull it through with your fingers. Congrats, you've just created a topsy-tail! Take small sections of the pony tail and put them in a bobby pin...

Push this in above the ponytail, allowing the curly ends to hang out.

Your probably wondering what the pieces in the front are doing and now I will tell you! You can do lots of things here, a braid, loops or (what I did) a twist! Grab one section and split in in two, twist them together, and pin the end in with the rest of the curls. Now repeat on the other side. Set it with some hairspray and you are now ready to deal with rude air-travelers!

I have no picture of the front because Lexie wouldn't sign my waiver. Something about no makeup. Boo.

Thank you for choosing The Daily 'do! Have a safe flight!
