Hair Tutorial: No Heat Curl headband tutorial

July 11, 2011 | Posted by

no heat curl, headband, tutorial, video, how to
So, my hair is SUPER stick straight. It hates holding a curl… hates it. So, I didn’t think this no heat curl headband thing would actually work… WELL: it did. BUT, with my hair it only lasted for about 3 hours. I only used hair spray… so, maybe if I put some product in my hair before-hand it will last longer? Hmm… Even though this curl didn’t hold all day like I had hoped… it does give my flat hair a ton of volume! Sweet! Perfect for those summer updo’s! I’ll be doing this more often for sure!
I love the No Heat Curl!

In case you’re curious… here’s what my hair looks like naturally (well… it seems a little more fluffy in this photo since I just had a shower. :D). Super duper straight. Always.


Have you tried this? They have: Born of the Sea, 3 Men and a Mommy, Beautiful Blendings, Sweet Days with Elle and Mia, The Bear Naked Truth, The Peanut Gallery, Beaktweets, A Little King and I, IROCKSOWHAT, Velveteen, The Urban Cowgirl, Chic Homeschool Mama, Paper Clippings of a Wandering Artist, Urban Country Girl, MD School Mrs., and…

Sweet.

July 8, 2011 | Posted by

I’ve said it before… Mike hates it when I take his photo! That would be why you hardly ever see him on my blog. 🙂 But, I happened to just catch a sweet moment between him and Ruari. It’s not the best photo ever… but, I love it. He wasn’t making any silly/I don’t want to be in this photo faces. Love it.

And, if you all get a moment…. 
I’d LOVE a vote! 😀
