Girl Talk Thursday – Quick & Dirty Guide To Hair

So I have had so many hairstyles through my life that I can’t even count them on my fingers. Bobs, shags, layers, braids, long, short, razer cut…well you get the picture, or do you?

Today I’m going to talk about the hair I do pretty much whenever my hair is too dirty to cooperate and I’ve run out of time in the morning to wash it.

It’s called the Twist and Tail!

Now, I warn you I am totally doing this after work with no makeup on. I look like shit warmed over. Can you handle it? I hope so! OK well the first pic is taken before i went to work when I had makeup on but who’s doing the tutorial here?  The only requirement i have is that you DON’T MIND MY ROOTS! This is, after all, the lazy girls guide to hair.

It’s super easy and works well if you have bangs that are growing out.

Just get a scrunchy and one of those pop type clips you get in a pack of like, 12 at the drug store. You don’t even need a brush if you don’t want to use one!

• First take all of your bangs and pull them to the side.

• Start twisting from the opposite side from where you want to pin your bangs (I go from left to right)

• Stop twisting when you’ve reached the side of your head. Pin in place with a pop clip. Don’t worry that there’s hair length left we’ll deal with that later.

• At this point you can leave it like this if you’re lazy or skip to the next step.

• Gather hair into a ponytail. I go for a mid point ponytail not too high not too low. This is so if i have bumps underneath they don’t show and so all the hair stays in the scrunchy.

• You’re done! Spray with crap (hairspray) if you want but this is not required.

It’s totally OK if you have bumps in the ponytail or you can’t get a straight ponytail. We’re not looking for accuracy here. If it bothers you that much then go for that “Messy bun/ponytail” that we all know and love!

That’s how it’s done girls!

You can do this at work in the middle of the day. I do it in between calls to get my hair out of the way because our office goes hot and cold with the air conditioning.
