  • Disappearance

    seven hours
    I know I fell off the radar for the past couple of weeks, but I’m getting myself and posts and hairstyles together, and will be back officially and regularly on Monday.

    In the mean time, how amazing is this shot pieced together over seven hours?

    This song is so good, though she is never not killing it.


  • Hairstyle 7/30: Side Rope

    This style rules because it takes all of 60 seconds, and is different enough to warrent a second look.

    Divide hair into two sections, twist sections in the same direction, twist together in the opposite direction, then braid the bottom to hold the twist.


  • Hairstyle 6/30: Joined Together Side French Braids

    Another ‘do on the baby sister.


  • Hairstyle 5/30: Pulled Back Bed Head

    long brown hair

    I realize this probably shouldn’t count as a ‘hairstyle’, but I’m behind on these posts and a girl’s gotta catch up somehow! Plus, I never wear my hair like this so it counts.

    I wore this to my parent’s house for Easter dinner. I’m not even sure that I brushed it, which is pretty standard protocol for me.
