Ringlets





This is my friend Krystal. I did her hair for her wedding. Ringlets is an easy and fun way to do your hair for special occasions and something to do any day to look more fun and elegant. When doing ringlets put some pomade on the ends of the hair so they don't get fuzzy. I then divide the hair into rows starting with the bottom of the hair. I lightly spray the hair with hairspray and start taking small sections. If you want your hair more curly near then root then start curling with the curling iron at the root and work your way to the ends of the hair. If you want more curl at the bottom of the hair. Then start curling at the ends and work your way to the root. You do that until you get to the top. On the top layer I usually curl the hair starting at the root so the hair doesn't look flat on top and curly on the bottom. I then use bobby pins to pull some of the ringlets back to make a softer look so the hair isn't really poofy. It was so much fun doing Krystals hair. Thanks for letting me use your pictures.

Short and Sassy



Short haircuts look really good on people who have oval, diamond, or inverted triangle face shapes. Stephanies hair use to be down to her shoulder and she wanted something more fun. We first cut off the length to match her chin. Then we cut a ton of layers throughout her hair. Lots of short layers add body to your hair. We also added this auburn color for the fall and it really matched her skin tone very well. You can also do many fun styles with short cuts like this. You can have a sophisticated look like she has or you could put some gel in it and do it messy for a more fun and wild look. Short hair is very fun and easy to work with if you are limited on time to get ready.
