First post must be hair related, it's only logical considering its bigger than I am.

So, I'm loving this braid thing.

All the years spent sitting rigidly on a closed plastic toilet seat waiting for my mom to
 finish a dreaded french braid, tugging and pulling while I wished I could just have straight hair like the other girls, and it's finally in style.

Dammit.
The fishtail, the boho braid, the inside out braid, hell even my old school french braid are making the most impressive of appearances, from runway to...hallway...?

This chick (she's cooler than me anyways) shows you how to do the fishtail)

LEARN TO DO A FISHTAIL< YAY!  -Click it and your meaningless lives will change forever.


The best part of it all is this boho chique thing.

*Credit to Sienna Miller who takes the cake in my books for making this look rock in its most recent appearance. Nicole Richie and the Olsens get notable mention, but neither rocks it like Sienna, let's be serious. *


A style where over-sized clothing, natuarally wavy hair and clean simply lip glossed faced look is hot.

BRILLIANT.

Can I comment on how happy it makes me not to have to wake up 2 hours before my classes to sweat like crazy while desperately trying to straighten my mop?


Or perhaps it's more delightful to buy "stylish" clothing for under 10 dollars at Value Village..

In short, I'm not looking forward to when the poised and straightened look comes back.


Gross.

Now for something remotely helpful:

Heat-free Wavy hair -like Sienna Miller (huge crush)
with some poof, but only if you use Daisy Fuentes Mousse. (courtesy of Dollarama)

*Start before bed*:
1. Wash it: Honestly, how many hairstyles actually start like this???
2. Towel dry the shit out of it, leave it damp-ish, damp enough that it will be almost dry in the morning.
3. Use leave in conditioner (pick one) and some good mousse (No daisy Fuentes) and run it through your beautiful locks.
4. Here's the fun part. Split your hair down the middle and make two tight french braids-hair spray them using a medium hold hairspray or something like satin (its so amazing it gets a picture so you can be influenced to buy it)

5. Sleep- What your boyfriend/girlfriend has been doing this whole time, lucky bastards.
6. Wake up.
7. if you're still alive, awesome. Take out your braids and comb em out with your lovely fingers.
8. Flip your curly mess upside down and if still wet, blow dry it with a diffuser..or don't.
9. Fix messed up parts by wetting it  with a spray bottle and moussing.
10. Finish (no pun intended) with hairspray and a dime sized dab of finishing creme or hair serum, to keep it tame in humidity.
