Pretzel Knot

I took my son to the doctor today for strep throat.Turns out he does have it, but that's not the focus of my post.Point being: there was a girl at the doctor's office eating a large mall-pretzel.  She kept dipping it in cheese and taking long, dripping bites. It was disgusting. Who...

Elegant 1/2 UP Do

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow.That's what is seems like every time I go outside.It's great for sledding and skiing. But it's COLD, and terrible on curls.  So I thought a straight hair-do would be more my style today. It's super easy, and looks fancy enough to wear to a black-tie a...

Laced Snaked Fish Tail Braid

I'll admit it...I'm a hair gawker.I try to be discreet, catch a quick glimpse and then pretend I'm just looking past them at the interesting poster on the wall or what's just beyond them on the grocery shelf.  But then I'll steal another look at their hair.  I just can't help it.  It's...

Using Hot Rollers for Body & Curls

I don't know how many of you have a set of hot rollers...but they're a must for great hairstyles.My hair has so much natural wave (not enough for curl, just enough to be annoying) that if I let it air dry, or worse -- go to bed with wet hair...In the morning, it will have out-of-control kinks,...
