Lazy Up Do Tutorial

It's no secret that I'm not too bothered about my hair, yes I want to look as blonde as possible but I often just wear it down and free!  Today I decided to wear my hair up with some dry shampoo as it could do with a wash.

Tools you will need;

• Hair brush
• Tail comb or teasing brush
• Hair bands x 2
• Hair grips x 6 or more

If you want recreate this look please follow these steps;

1. Brush through of your hair to de tangle any knots
2. Tease the crown and parting of your hair by brushing downwards at the roots in sections
3. Roughly part your hair at the nape of your neck
4. Create one plait on the left side and one on the right (make these as lose or tight as you wish but you will get more volume in the style make them looser)
5. Tie each plait at the as fair down as possible with small elastic band or hair bands
6. Grab some kirby grips/Bobby pins and pin the first plait across to the other side of your head, curling the ends downward
7. Now pin the other plait across the opposite side of your head, tucking the end downwards underneath the other plait
8. I only used 6 pins to secure these plaits in place, findeling with overall shape but you can use more for more hold
9. You can also use hairspray if you wish

Ok so the one side looks a bit wonky but it was only for work and if it had more time in the mornings, I would actually take a bit more care.

My Hair Story

What better day to tell you my hair story than today, I'm getting my hair done!

When I was little I had very blonde hair in a bob with a block fringe like most little girls.

As I got older, I grew my hair and my fringe out but my hair also got darker to dark blonde, almost brown.

That's when I started having blonde highlights, I'm pretty sure I started dying my hair when I was about 12 but I think it was just 2 fun purple streaks then more and more highlights, only ever the top half.  I like to have my hair in a side parting with a side swept fringe.

My hair got crazy long to my waist and started to go straggly and wispy at the ends, so I had to cut it, to just a couple of inches below my shoulders.

This is when I once went to a salon where they used a lot of peroxide not so great for my hair.

I also had 4 lilac real hair extensions once, which was pretty and as you can see it's my favorite colour :).

This is when I had an accident and tried to do my own hair with some blonde dye; I just wacked it onto my parting to cover up my roots and thought it would blend.  No such luck.  This really doesn't suit me and made my face look extra chubby.  I had to get my hairdresser to sort it out my adding some low lights and I got silver shampoo that comes out purple to take away the brassiness.

I also wanted to see what I would look like if I had brown hair so I used some wash in, wash out colour which actually came out quite ginger in real life so I added a filter below to make it look browner.  It looks quite nice but I felt a bit dull compared to my blonde hair.

This past December I decided to have a change and added purple dip dye to the ends of my hair.  It only lasted a few weeks but I was so happy with the result.

Okay so this time it came out quite blue.  The purply pink colour I had last time was discontinued.

P.s please pretend I posted this last Saturday.  Yeah the one before that.
