Hey you! As you're reading this, I'm in the mountains for the weekend--don't worry I have another post tomorrow too. I'm looking forward to hiking around, good food, and lots of relaxation. I've been saving my magazines just for the occasion! I'm dreading writing down what I eat over the weekend though--it's my resolution for the week! But let's get back into LOVE WEEK! Check out my Messy, Sexy Curls:
You'll need a 1 inch curling wand and volumizing powder.
Spray hair with heat protectant and plug in your curling wand.
Using half inch to one inch sections. place the curling wand onto hair and wrap around the curling wand as pictured on right. This causes the curl to go away from the face. I usually start wrapping about at the crown area of my head. The pieces closest to my face are usually wrapped closer to the root.
Leave for about 10 seconds and then gently pull the curl to make it looser.
Repeat on the next section of hair, but this time begin with the hair over the curling wand, as pictured on left.
This will allow the curl to go towards the face.
Repeat all over the hair, with curls alternating towards and away from the face.
I'm using this technique so the curls won't stick together and form one big curl at the end of the day.
It also looks more natural.
Tap some volumizing powder into your palm.
Normally this product goes onto roots to give them volume.
Feel free to do that if you wish.
Rub hands together and disperse through your curls.
Add a little more powder to your hands and then scrunch your hair.
This really breaks up the curls, giving you that messy, sexy bedhead look.
That's it! This looks takes around 10-15 minutes total.
How did you style your hair today?

That's celebrity hair, right there! Have fun in the mountains - hope you get lots and lots of rest!
Looking cute as usual. Um, I threw my hair back in to a bun because I just washed it. Tomorrow it wil be nice and wavy. I need a hair cut so bad though, my hair hasn't been this long since I was in high school and it needs a trim!!!! Love to you,

You look so pretty! I would love to have loose curls one day instead of my tight spirals -- but that would just take more work than it's worth. :)
beautiful! this Sunday I'm buying new curler! woohoo!
oh I love it! so sexy :)
OMG this looks so amazing! I LOVE IT!
I keep meaning to get a curling wand, I always borrow my friends and like how the curls turn out.
Such beautiful curls. I could never perfect it because my arm starts to get tired from raising it for so long... and then the thought of that keeps me from wanting to try again. such a vicious cycle.
