Day 4: Sock Bun... & Day 5=Lazy day

Day 4: Sock bun!

I did a nice sock bun.. and it lasted for a few hours until my head starting hurting. Wearing my hair to tight sometimes causes a headache- but I have also been sick for nearly 2 weeks with some sinus allergy crap. Blec. I wish it would go away already! After so many days I forget what it feels like to be not sick.

Anyway.. here are the pictures of my sock bun.. with my non cooperating camera- Leading to not great pictures.






Day 5- Side irregular braid

Sorry no great pictures.. maybe once I find the other camera cord.. since I apparently didnt put the card back in from the last upload oops. 

But basically I did a side irregular braid- which is where you put the hair into 3 parts- one small, two big ones and braid. Leaving a weird looking braid. It really didnt look that great on me.. And it didnt last very long. Due to my layers side hairstyles like braids don't seem to last very long. 

Day 6- Hm Dont know.. stay tuned!

Day 3: Simple Looped Side Ponytail

You can find the hair tutorial here!

Although really it is supppper easy to achieve. Basically its a side pony tail pulled through the hair.

Since I posted Day 2 today as well.. I dont believe I have much else to say.

Pictures it is:



I didnt have a brown hair tie.. they all seem to have vanished. Oops

Enjoy!

Day 2- Fishtail Braid

What an awesome day it was, so very beautiful out. We had a bbq at my mas and we all had a good time. Caught up with some family members I haven't seen in far far to long.

Day 2 (yes there will be two posts today)

I went with a fishtail braid. Again found on Luxyhair Tutorials on YouTube.

And here are the pictures.





I have to say one thing that is amazing about this is that it really helps build self-esteem and make me feel good about making my hair different and pretty. I think some people (especially moms) fall into a rut of just being plain. (Thats my lack of better word) I know for me, I feel that I dont have a reason to do my hair or makeup (even if it is just powder) because really the only person I need to impress is my husband. It has really dawned on me that ya know what? I need to look pretty for ME! I matter to myself more importantly. To my husband, he thinks I am just beautiful how am I no matter. This challenge is essentially more about just hair but about me too. I am going to be taking pictures of myself everyday. No I am not conceited- just realizing that I am awesome too!

30 Days of Hair Styles- Day 1

Or I can hope. What a way to jump into blogging again.

Goal: 30 days of hair styles. I am so sick of having the same hair over and over and over. My hair comes down to my bra strap in the back. I dont have any plans to cut- I am wanting it to grow grow grow!

So my goal is to try new different things. And hopefully this holds me accountable. I am no typical girl though. I dont have a huge stash of hair products and the like. I have hair ties, curling iron, straightener, blow dryer, and bobby pins lol. And don't be foolish- all of that is cheapy stuff. I am frugal after all. And I'm not a huge girly girl either, so maybe this challenge will help with that.

Day 1: Curly hair.

Watched some youtube videos - a few of them. And curled my hair.
*My favorite is LuxyHair- awesome hair tutes*

And the final hair do...

(Sorry picture isnt the best)

Tomorrows do: I have no clue! Stay Tuned!
