100 Hairstyles

I've been concentrating on the actual hair cutting event lately, so that hasn't left a lot of time to think of new dos.  Here's the do from today, I know, not very creative, but I have been using my creativity for the promotion of the hair cutting event on February 20th.

As a reminder, it's at In the Village, Mullica Hill NJ and supports Pantene Beautiful Lengths Program.  It looks like there will also be at least one person donating in Georgia & one in Arizona! 

The awesome pic my friend Mark Cicconi drew to support the blog

A guy at work said, "I barely recognized you, your hair looks like it was caught up in a wind storm..."  What am I supposed to say to that?

Ahh, the crutch of changable bangs.  I did braids on day 14, but with the bangs to the side... this time, I added a pouf.

So I've decided to start counting down... to the hair cut!  It's official, the big cut will happen on February 20, 2010, probably from 2-4 PM.  In the Village will be hosting the event, and of course, the donations will go to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths Program.  For more details on signing up to donate, click here.

So - here's hairstyle for 33 days to go.

Today's it, day 100 (well, hairstyle 100 to be more specific).  It's been fun so far, but I'm not done yet!  Next on the list: organize the hair cutting event.  I'm talking to a salon about hosting, I hope to have more information tomorrow.  I'm still planning on donating mid-February, so I'll re-do some of my favorite hairstyles, or the ones that went wrong as I count down the days.  And for those of you hoping for a giant purple mohawk... sorry - all I can is point your to this girl who is obviously more brave than I.

Here's the real Day 100, inspired again by Biggest Loser.

Day 99, I can't believe it.  This one was inspired while looking for wedding hairdos for my friend.  We ran across Anne Hataway's cute do.

Any suggestions for Day 100?  It won't be tommorow, I want to give you all a chance to suggest the best style...

This hairstyle was for my company holiday party.  I wanted it to look different from my NYE style, since I was wearing the same outfit.   Here's a pic from the party...

So the hubby said that Sam Sheep dog was back "arf arf" and the guys at work said it looked like That Girl.

It was supposed to be like Flo on the Progressive, as my Aunt Sylvia suggested, but I guess I should have left more in front of the headband.

Did one similar to this a while back, but didn't quite get the effect I wanted the last time.  This time you can really see the braid in the back.

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.

You know those 3-Barrel wavers that are out now?  Well I went in to the Cherry Hill Sam Ash & one of the managers had the cutest textured bun (like a girl with curly hair) but she said she had poker straight hair.  Apperantly her trick was to use one of those 3 Barrel Wavers to get the texture.  Well I had to have one....

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?

Who really wants to do their hair on New Years, after staying up to watch the ball drop?  Luckily for me, my NYE hair held up well enought to use for New Years (and my Birthday!)

So, I mentioned that the NYE Party was a Bond theme and that I was picking from some Bond Girl pics I found online.  A Pantene Beauty Maven, Ashley gave me some tips (see below) on the style from Casino Royale, so I decided to try that one.  The name Canary Doodle came from my hubby thinking the hair looked like a poodle & that my shirt was canary colored...

Here's the quote from Ashley (I modified it a bit, so what I did is at the very bottom)
Hey, it's Ashley the Pantene Beauty Maven-- And I love these looks! They are so glamorous and fun! I love the bottom style from Casino Royale. It seems like she has subtle flirty curls, and those are always a hit! Here are a few steps to help achieve this look!
1.Start with Pantene Ice Shine Shampoo and conditioner to leave hair clean and shiny
2.Part wet hair, apply Ice Shine Mousse and blow dry.
3.Section hair and spray with Ice Shine Hairspray before wrapping hair in a tight spiral pattern around a curling iron. To get fuller curls, start at your crown and wrap hair around the iron.
4.Continue to curl while periodically tousling and pulling curls gently downward to loosen.

Hope this helps!!! Have a Happy New Year!! Follow us @Pantene!

Since I didn't have all the Ice Shine Products, I used what I had.

I started by using some Full & Thick Mousse and the Smooth Serum in damp hair.  I'm really thinking the smooth serum is what gave my hair that Pantene shine.
I blow-dried my hair upside down for volume, and then use velcro rollers and shots of hot & cold air to increase the volume.
I then did layers of curls as recommended above starting from the bottom back & working my way to the front.  (I find that if I do the front first, I'm bored by the time I get to the back, but if I start in the back, I HAVE to pay attention to the front cause it's the front!)  After each layer of curls, I sprayed them with the classis non-aresol hairspray.
I waited for all the curls to be completely cold & dry (from the hairspray)
I flipped my head upside down and shook out the curls.
I then smoothed out the curls (with my head rightside up) with my hands.


Best of all, it made for some great morning after hair!
