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!

Texture Twist!

Hi, my name is Leslie and I am addicted to product. When I walk into the beauty supplier, the slightest suggestion or well placed display will cause me to walk around the store will my arms so full the sales girls keep asking me if I want a basket.

One of the many products I can't live without is this little gem...Texture Twist by Pureology
It is available at Maly's 5 State or SalonCentric or what the hell they are calling it these days. Or any salon that sells Pureology or if you are really really nice to your hairstylist, she might pick it up for you!

It is amazing! I'm not the only one who thinks so. I'm pretty sure almost every stylist in my salon uses it. One of the reasons is because it is so versatile. It comes out tacky but softens as it soaks into your hair. Its great for short piecey looks or for those that like to flip their hair up in the back.

BUT its also great for long hair and sleek looks. Just pump a little onto your fingers, rub it between your hands and rake your fingers through your hair. This works great to get rid of static electricity in you hair. Candice(roommate/lifelong friend/cousin) was having a HUGE static problem with her hair. I had her start doing this and now she cant live without it!

Another cool thing to do with this product is for all my big hair girls! When your hair is wet, put a little on your finger and rub it into the crown of your head at the root. Blow dry with a brush, directing the hair up, and BLAM-O! Big root boost!

Thanks for reading!
