Day 95 - French Twister

Danette loves to buy me those tools that you see in the drug store and always want to try, but can't bring yourself to buy.  Today, I tried out the "French Twister".  It seemed like a good fit because I went swimming early in the morning & needed a quick hairstyle before work.







I have to say I didn't expect to use it when I first got it (sorry Danette) but it was a GREAT quick hairstyle.  I had to practice a few times first.  Luckily I tried it the night before.  This morning, first shot is what I left all day.  And this pic is at the end of the day.  I have to say I give it two thumbs up!  tonytail.com



P.S. to give my hair some texture & lift, I used Pantene's Root Lifting Spray.

Day 93 - Easy Does It

I did a side pony on day 15, but that one had bangs.  Now that I'm going to keep the blog going until Feburary, I'm going to need to do some variations of previous styles, so I did this side pony without the bangs.  Does it count?







From Day 15:


Hair-athon Styles21-30

In efforts to support Pantene's Beautiful Lengths Program, I've been doing a hair-athon - a marathon of hairstyles and asking for support.  To support, donate your hair, help me find people who have hair long enough to donate or donate to American Cancer Society.
I'm up to day 80 and I'm on a business trip and I'm not sure how much access I'll have to a computer.  So, I've decided to do a mini-recap of the styles so far.  And since I've moved the date of my hair donation from December 22 to February 20 to allow people time to sign up, I need ideas of interesting posts, so here's styles 21 - 30 for those who may not have seen them.

Day 21 - Right Hand Blue Left Foot Red (Twister)



Day 22 - Salty Sea Dog



Day 23 - Half Pouf



Day 24 - Knotted Side Noodle



Day 25 - Pocohantas on a Rope



Day 26 - Headband Harry



Day 27 - (Day 26)  This is the day I couldn't count, and I didn't figure it out till day 40!


Day 28 - Half Heidi



Day 29 - Princess Buttercup



Day 30 - Sheila's Croissant



Day 79 - Danette's Poufy Pony


So Danette was shopping & found this tool called the "Poufy Pony"  It's basically a comb you stick in your ponytail to give it "poufiness"





Only problem is that the hair doesn't stay all the way put on top of the comb


We thought maybe some teasing or hairspray might help next time.

Here's the comb.



I also used the full & thick Mousse from Pantene again.  I think one of the upcoming hairstyles will be a volumized blow-out.  You can't tell from these picture, but it really does add a lot of volume.

Day 78 - The Other Katrina

So I was running out of hairstyles & another Katrina suggested "Side sweep where you pin up the side of your hair that you part toward, but not the other side."  Although I think I actually got it backwards... oh well!  Now it's a two day idea!
I also used some of my new Pantene products this morning, while it was wet the Full & Thick Mousse & the Smooth Serum & then the Classic Hairspray at the end.  I loved the volume I got, and the smooth serum really made my hair soft.  Would recommed them!







Day 74 - Tyra, Tyra, Tyra

I was watching ANTM the other day and saw this cute look on the finalists. 


It made me think, I wonder if Tyra would be interested in the idea of having a hair marathon to support Pantene's Beautiful Lengths?  If you watch her show, she's always chaging her hair.  Look at her site http://tyrashow.warnerbros.com/ and you can see that in a week's worth of shows, there are no hair repeats...  hmm... I'm persistant, maybe she would be interested.  Think about it.  There could be a show with say 6 donators (that's how many it takes to make a wig) who cut their hair that day.  Maybe she could even invite a woman who's fighting cancer & surprise her with a wig from ACS on the show...  I would watch.

Anyway, here's how my style turned out.  And of course, I smized...




Day 73 - Nanny Again

He says it looks like the evil nanny once again...  It was supposed to be a cute poufy ponytail, but the pouf is a little tricky... I used Pantene's Root Lifter Spray to help the cause, but I dryed my hair the night before, so I think I slept out some of the volume.


















Here's the inspiration...http://www.glamour.com/beauty/blogs/girls-in-the-beauty-department/2009/11/the-poufy-pony-oodles-of-cuten.html

day 21 - right hand blue left foot red (twister)

OK - here's the real pics...



It's a little messy, I know, but I was in a hurry & going to a walk to benefit Myeloma Research (Donate here: http://321cure.themmrf.org/site/TR/RaceforResearch/General?px=1297861&pg=personal&fr_id=1091).  Had to be out of the house by 7 on a Saturday, so I was glad to thik of this easy style.

Here's how:


Make two braids about where you want the bun.

Twist one braid clockwise & wrap around the other ponytail.   Secure with pins.


Twist the second braid counter-clockwise around the first poytail & tuck under the first braid.

Simple!  Only wished I would have had this tip from Glamour Magazine:

Day 19 - Evil Nanny

So, I'm starting to run a little uninspired.  I'd say I probably have another 5-10 easy hairdos, but I could use any suggestions!
People have commented (in person) how nice the pictures turn out.  I have to say that it's from "Smize"-ing.  haha, I'm not going to explain it, but ANTM watchers know what I'm referring to.  I know, it's a show for teenage girls, but I sometimes act like a teenage girl. 
For this hairstyle, I'm not using a bump-it, although I've thought about buying one.  It's all teasing.  To keep my bangs from falling out all day, I hair sprayed the hair underneath, brushed the bangs on top & sprayed a few more times.  It actually stayed al day!



Day 17 - Pixie

I know, pixie is usually a short hair style, but I think my hubby thought of elves (think lord of the rings)

Day 16 - Three Strikes for a Bun

Saw this one on Glamour Magazine's website.  Tip 1 I think.

Day 15 - Croc'ed Pony

It's Sunday, so my hair needs to be pulled back... I did do the bangs to keep it from looking too low maintenance.


Day 14 - Howdy!

This is a favorite of mine as well.  Although I get Heidi, Wendy (it's way better than fast food), Pippi, country girl & more, I like the look & the ease.


Day 13 - Sleek & Meek

This is a comprimise of a hairdo.  The bangs are back & out of my face, but it still looks done.  Makes me look a bit younger as well ;-)


Day 11

Usually I take a picture at the beginning of the day, but I didn't have my camera this morning, so the wear & tear of a day shows in the picture.  Either way, it's nice to have (most of) my hair off my face for the day, with a non-ponytail.
