This started with two (Princess Lea) type buns worn to bed at night for the curls. Then teased in the back for volume & pulled into a ponytail. The top layers were rolled up & pinned to hide the ponytail band.

Day 17 - Pixie
I know, pixie is usually a short hair style, but I think my hubby thought of elves (think lord of the rings)
Trendy 2009 Fashion Hair Trend: Braided Hair
Braided hair been one of the most obvious beauty trends this year. People seem to have a love-hate relationship with it -some people think it's pretty and some think it's just too cutesy. For most part, I think braids is a cute way to add some girliness to ones hairstyle, but it really depends on how you do it and whether it suits the rest of your look.
The basic way seems to be braiding the front bit of your hair and pull the briad to one side, and tie all your hair up into a pony tail. Look how well the braid goes with Lauren's style!
And she even manages to use the braid to glam up her whole hairstlye and look.
Nicole Richie uses the braids to complement her boho, LA style.
Then there's the braided up-do.
I have to admit I think this hairstyle really doesn't suit Gwen Stefani. It looks so complicated and just... weird on her.
I love the way Rachel wore the braid. She manages to wear the braid without looking overly girly, keeping her casual and trendy look.
Despite how cute I think the braid is, I still haven't tried it out yet. It's probably because I don't want to look like I'm 14, but mostly because it requires some effort to pull together (as opposed to doing nothing.) What do you think of the braid trend? Have you tried it?
Braided Hair
The celebrity that has been sporting braids the most seems to be Lauren Conrad. And if you know Lauren's usual style (-very girly,) then you would probably agree that the braids really suit Lauren.

It's Sunday, so my hair needs to be pulled back... I did do the bangs to keep it from looking too low maintenance.
Spiral Perm Hairstyles
2009, 2010 Spiral Perm Hairstyles
Spiral perms were all the rage back in the 1980’s. Today they are making a comeback and if they are done correctly, a spiral pem can be truly beautiful. A badly done spiral perm will leave you looking like you just stuck your finger in a light socket, so make sure you go to a reputable stylist. Spiral perms make a woman look saucy, flirty, and extremely sexy.
The name spiral comes from how the hair is permed. Traditional perms use small rollers and your hair is rolled horizontally. A spiral perm uses long, slender rollers and your hair is rolled vertically, from the ends to your scalp, in a corkscrew fashion, hence the name “spiral”. Depending on the size of the vertical roller, your curls can be loose or extremely tight. You are not limited to always having one particular curly hairstyle when you get a spiral perm. Use a hairdryer with a diffuser to dry your curly hair and one without if you want to blow-dry it straight. Straightening your hair with a hairdryer will leave it appearing thicker and full of body; your curls will come right back when you wash your hair again. You can even use the diffuser for a little bit longer than it takes to dry your hair to change your hairstyle into attractive waves. Add some hair gel and you can scrunch your hair into even tighter ringlets for yet another look.
Spiral perms can cost almost twice as much as a regular perm. This is because they look best on longer hair and require more work. You could try giving yourself a spiral perm but you run the risk of a frizzy perm, and since spiral perms last months longer than a normal perm, you may not want to risk that. Also, remember to be careful after you get your spiral perm – use lots of conditioning products (perms dry out hair) and avoid any hair products that have alcohol in them. Alcohol will make the drying much worse. And if your hair is not in good condition, stay away from any type of perm or you’ll look like a dust bunny rather than a sexy woman.

Day 14 - Howdy!
This is a favorite of mine as well. Although I get Heidi, Wendy (it's way better than fast food), Pippi, country girl & more, I like the look & the ease.
Day 13 - Sleek & Meek
This is a comprimise of a hairdo. The bangs are back & out of my face, but it still looks done. Makes me look a bit younger as well ;-)

I started doing my hair with the intention of pulling back my bangs, but I like how they ended up. Almost old Hollywood.
Megan Fox Hair Color
Megan Fox Hair Color - Fall, Winter 2010 Edition
The bombshell Megan Fox has captured the hearts of men and women worldwide. Some love her for her acting, some for her modeling, and women love her hair. She always has a beautiful style and unique color. Here is how to get this beauty’s hair color for yourself.
If you already have black hair, lucky you – you and Megan have the same natural color. If you naturally have very dark brown hair, you could probably manage to get this look without needing to dye it black. To get the perfect color, you should have black hair. Be aware that for those with really fair skin the contrast between your new black hair and your skin can be startling; some people end up hating that look. If you dye your hair black, you either will have to wait for it to turn back to your natural color or get it bleached, which will damage your hair badly. Start by dyeing your hair black. Your own natural highlights will help bring out highlights in the black hair color. If your hair is naturally dark, you can just start highlighting. If you want to copy Megan’s look exactly, then add some dark brown highlights and some medium brown lowlights. Chestnut brown would be a good color for this. Another way you could achieve this look is by dyeing your hair black, then dye it again with a dark brown. If you choose this method, make sure to condition your hair since dyeing it could damage it. But you’ll have that same sexy look either way.

Day 11
Usually I take a picture at the beginning of the day, but I didn't have my camera this morning, so the wear & tear of a day shows in the picture. Either way, it's nice to have (most of) my hair off my face for the day, with a non-ponytail.
Day 10
Day 9 - Punky (Brewster) with a Crimp
This is one of my favorite finds of a hairstyle. To get the waves, I take a small section of hair & twist it tightly. Then I flatiron it while it's twisted & move onto the next piece while the first cools down. I look like I have dreds when I'm done! Then I shake it all out and voila! waves.

Latest Japanese Hairstyles 2009, 2010
Latest Japanese Hairstyles 2009, 2010
The Japanese have long been the standard that many people go to when they want a style that is cute, trendy, and hot. The Japanese naturally have sleek, shiny hair and many of their hairstyles show that asset off. A lot of Westerners try to copy those looks. To truly mimic the Japanese, you should opt for their short, sassy cuts.
A modern bob is a very popular Japanese hairstyle. Have your hair cut into a bob. Add pretty, feathery layers all over your hair. This gives you texture and some height to your hair, which makes this is a perfect style for women with thin hair. The layers also add a lot of volume. Experiment with different layer lengths if you would like for a look all your own. You could also try some highlights for some real personality. This particular haircut is great for women with any shaped face since it’s changeable enough to be suited to anyone.
Another great hairstyle for any shaped face is the Japanese medium slice haircut. This cut creates medium length straight hair that actually has a bit of pizzazz to it. There is heavy graduation in this cut and a razor is used for texturing so make sure to go to a reputable stylist. This a good style if your hair is very thick, and if enough volume is added, it could be a good style for women with thin hair as well. This look is good for day or night, and is beautifully sassy.

Missing...
I have 2 more hairstyles to post, today & yesterday, but I forgot my camera at my dad's! bummer. I'll load both tomorrow.
Since I can't add a picture, I'll mention an idea I had for the blog. I want to get in touch with a hair donation charity (like Pantene Beautiful Lengths) to see if they will help me add a charity aspect to the website. That way maybe people could "sponser" my hair marathon! I need to try to call them, but it's only during work hours that they're open.
Here's the site for their charity:
http://pantene.com/en-US/beautiful_lengths.jspx
The nice thing is that you only need 8" to donate here. I hope I can get them to help me raise money for them, it would make this a lot more fun! And, wouldn't it be cool if the last (100th) hairstyle was my new short do after the donation!!

If you aren’t gutsy enough to chop it super short, you can go trendy short with longer hair in the front and spiky in the back. This popular hair do, seen all over the place right now, is really flattering on most women and it is an easy cut for most hair types.

Vacation
So I went on vacation for the past week into the Adirondcks. Had a blast,but it's not exactly the place where you spend a lot of time on hairstyles. I've uploaded a few of the styles from the vacation, along with a picture or two of the places we went, but I'll be back into the count on Monday!
Day 8 - Past a week!
Day 7 - Wavy Gravy
So I tried for the inspiration picture again. I got close, but still not as wispy as the picture. I liked the results still, but think maybe the style was done with a round brush while blow drying. The best way to get these curls that I have is to take the curling iron to the top of the strand of h
air and do a quarter turn around the curling iron barrel and pull the curling iron through the hair. It keeps the curls from being to curly.
