I work as a receptionist at a salon in Savannah, GA. As the first person people see when they walk in, I try to find different ways to do it on a regular basis to keep things interesting for the clients, and be an inspiration.
Working in the salon has brought me closer to my love of hair, although I don't think I could actually do other people's hair! Who knows, maybe some day I will.
With this blog I am going to challenge myself to different hair styles daily, and post them with tips and tricks on how you can recreate my styles.
I am in no way a hairstylist, but have been styling my hair in crazy ways for years. I started dying my hair very young, and my mom let me go wild on how I did my hair. It started with half updos. We have pictures (I will try and locate them) from third grade when, that reflects the deep seeded love of 40's hair styles. Where I would have gotten that from, I have no idea beside a past life!
Today's Style: The Leah Basic
This is my go to hairstyle. I have it down to taking about 10 minutes (not including fighting with my bangs)
The idea with this hairstyle is pretty basic. Take your two sides, and twist them back, securing with bobby pins. It's easy to hide the pins inside the roll of the twist. You don't need to roll all the hair into it like a victory roll, but as you can see in the pictures, twist and leave the ends out. The bottom of the hair is an actual roll, with the bobby pins slightly hidden. I hold this curl tight and place pins inside of it, and then secure it by placing pins diagonally from the top of the roll. To get the bump in your twists, I add a little Osis Dust-It about an inch from the what will be the visible part and rat it up a bit. Using the clean hair to cover the rat, I twist behind it for a great 40's-esque bump.
PRODUCTS USED: Osis Dust-it and Aquage Finishing spray
