HAIR

Youtube and beauty bloggers are my primary resources for ideas on hair, makeup, beauty, fashion etc etc...
It's been nearly a year since I last had my haircut, a far cry from my normal upkeep of every 3 months!
My usual hairstyle was an inverted bob - longer in the front than the back. Time has now run its course and my hair is now just barely touching my collarbone, the longest I've had in years.

Rather than spending the money on getting a haircut, which can be expensive especially if you get daily trims, I thought I would take a risk and let my hair grow out on its own. My hair relatively thick and its easy to manage with the right products and daily washing and conditioning. However at the length that it is now, I don't really like but I don't hate it either. But watching youtube videos, reading blogs, looking at pictures I've generated a tonne of ideas of how to style it! 

Some general tools EVERY girl should have to achieve any of the looks below:
Bobby pins
Hairspray
Curling iron
Practice


 Messy Half-Up

Twisted Half-Up

 Twisted Bangs
This is how I wear my hair most often, and my favorite way as well. I find when my hair is curled, naturally it just does itself.
Twisted Bangs II
This one really is no different from the first. Only I used a curling wand rather than an iron to see if it would make a difference. It still achieves the same look for me ;)

Loosely pinned up
This one looks elaborate but it's really not! As I mentioned when my hair is curled it does itself. I basically took random pieces and pinned it up, leaving some pieces to hang :)
Flipped Out
There's 2 ways to achieve this look. Either with a large barrel curling iron (ideally 1 or 1.5 inch), OR with the use of velcro rollers.
