The Not-Knots

Raise your hand if you missed me! I'm back by popular demand Ladies and Gents. I just got done coloring Jacie's hair so I decided to do a couple of styles on her. I stole this style from my co-worker Hannah. I love when she does her hair like this. It looks like she knotted it but its just a little trick-a-roo.

To start, I back-combed her hair at the crown a bit...


She kept moving when I was trying to take this picture so I got angry and said "How dare you move, you are my personal hair doll. Hold still!" to which Jacie replied "OOO, what's my name then?!". We decided on Tammy.
I pulled Tammy's hair up like so and put it in an elastic...


Now here is the trick-a-roo part. I look a piece of hair from the ponytail and wrapped it around the elastic until its hidden and secured it with a bobby pin.

I do this to finish off most of my ponytails, it looks more finished and fancy. I then did another ponytail at the nape of her neck and wrapped the elastic.
(Don't mind Baylee, lookin all creepy in this picture. She's had a rough day..)

Hannah usually does three "knots"down her head. I love it and people always tell her how pretty it looks. Including me. I did another style on "Tammy" and also have pictures of an awesome new service I am going to be offering at the salon. You'll definitely be hearing more from me very soon!

I know, I'm kind of awesome...

I totally just made this little hair do up! Unless you're reading this thinking, "I've seen this before. Your stupid." In which case, cram it and let me have my moment.
So, I was working at my Aunt's salon in Coalville today and Brooke came in to have her hair colored. I talked her into letting me do something fun with her style! After I rinsed the color out I put some Soy Renewal by Big and Sexy in her hair and blow dried it with a paddle brush.

This is the spot where you usually find a picture of the products I used. I forgot to take one and now I'm too lazy to do it! Incase you are losing sleep over it, here is a list of what I used:

• One small ponytail




• a few bobbypins to tuck in stray hairs




• Big and Sexy Spray and Play hairspray

I started by teasing her hair at the crown just a little bit. Then, on the side she parts her hair, I grabbed the hair in front of her ear and created a vertical section and split it in half...

and then crossed those (like you're tying your shoes),

and pull down to tighten. Then grab another section behind that, added the hair together and repeat!

Keep going around the head, pulling from the bottom, adding the sections, and tying. When you get to the other ear, smooth the front back and put it all in a ponytail.

Here's a little trick I've mentioned but never really explained...when you put your hair in a ponytail (or secured it with a bobby pin) and you feel like you pulled too hard, grab a comb with a tail! Take the tail(I used the pick end of my round brush), insert it and GENTLY slide the comb up a little. It just gives it some fluff and smooths out your 'do a little.

I decided to leave her ponytail down so I took a small section of hair, wrapped it around the ponytail and and secured the ends with a bobby pin. I gave the hair in the ponytail a little tease so I wasn't just hanging there like a dead thing. Hairspray and your good to go!

Until Tomorrow!
