When in doubt go OMBRE!

So I took the Plunge! Yesterday I went to one of my good friends Christina Delgado and she dyed my hair Ombre. If you havent heard of ombre the best way of explaining it is that it a gradient of color going from a darker color up top to getting lighter and lighter towards the bottom until you reach the ends where it is lightest of all. I LOVE IT!! Now I know how it feels to be a brunette and a blonde at the same time :) I had the bayalage style done a few months ago which is similar..think lauren conrad and it was awesome but I really wanted to go darker for fall. The Hubby likes it, my baby still recognizes me, and I feel ready for Fall. Good times..Good times..

Christina has been doing my hair for the past 5 years or so. She works in the Gilbert area so if you are interested in giving her a call Ill get you the info. She is Amazing at Color and everything else :)

Fall Hair Color

I am wanting to go darker for Fall/Winter. Still deciding what to do. Im naturally a dirty blonde and I have the ombre style going on with my hair right now graduating from dark blonde on top to super blonde at the ends. Im loving it but if your gonna go dark the winter season is the time to do so.

I Love Ashley Greene. Here she is a warm mid town brown with lighter highlights up front.

How can you look at this picture and not want to be a redhead? I LOVE LOVE his gorgeous color.

Brown Ombre style. So cute! Love that she didnt make the ends super blonde. I hate that.

ahhh..decisions decisions

Around the World Waterfall Braid

Im trying to decided what tutorials to do for Hair Braids so people can get out of the same braided hair do all the time. Here is a fun braid that is similar to the waterfall braid I showed last week but this braid actually wraps around the whole back of the head and gets lower as you braid. Cute eh? Id love to hear your comments on which braids you'd like to learn. Also I know I have super long hair but these braids can be done on shorter hair as well.

Waterfall Braid

My sister and I have been obsessed with braids the past year. They are not only the easiest hair style out there but they are perfectly me in every way.  And Braids are so Timeless. We just learned how to do the waterfall braid and my sister was happy to oblige me with doing mine today. (you can do it to yourself but who turns down having someone else do their hair?)  Ill post a tutorial on this braid later. Its super easy and fun.

Full View - Is this not gorgeous?

The name waterfall braid comes from how the left side of the braid falls instead of picking it up as your braiding it

Its so different I Love it

Hair Twist Tutorial

Today me and my Little bear went and ran some errands. And in every store we went into I got compliments on my hair-do. Little did I know this morning when I did my hair in about 3 minutes tops that I was going to get so many compliments. Who knew? This is the easiest braid ( I dont even know if it counts as a braid but we are just gonna call it that) ever.
Tools you will need : Comb, hair elastic, a little hair spray or pomade for fly aways.

Part your hair wherever you feel comfortable. I personally like a deep right part )about where my eyebrows arch). Take the front section of your hair where you parted it and divide it into two sections. Hold a section in each hand and twist the two sections together- bottom section over top sections,etc. Twist it however far down you want it and secure with an elastic. Your hair will loosen up once you put the elastic in it and let go but it looks better looser in my humble opinion. And that's it. Seriously you can't get easier than that people :)
