PREP:
Best Dry Shampoo for dark hair - cheap I started on VERY dirty hair because I filmed another hair tutorial just the day before  and didn't want to torture it again with the curling iron.

Thank GOD for dry shampoos! My current favorite and best dry shampoo, IMHO - because it's cheaper than dirt and does exactly what it's suppose to do without making my hair all white and flaky - Give this one a shot! : Psssst Dry Shampoo 
 If you're doing this half-up updo on fresh hair: hairstyling is always easier on hair that has products in it, like a soft gel, and hair that has some waves (hint: you might want to curl it).

STEP 1:
  • Tease the crown.
  • Take a small section of the crown, eyebrow arch to brow arch, and pin it on top of your head.
  • Alternating sides, take small sections from each side of your head and pin them in a stacking pattern on top.  Eventually, your half-up, half-down formal updo crown will look like it's been braided somehow with lot's of texture.
  • Don't forget to also pin up the hair below the ear on 1 side.  Angelina Jolie's half-up hairstyles usually look side swept from the front, and this is the reason.  Only pin up a small section in the back though.

STEP 2:

Now to create the small flower buns (AKA Chignon):

  • Starting with a small strand of hair taken from the back, start twirling them around 1 finger, gradually making them bigger on top of where you had pinned down the crown.
  • As you're twirling the hair around your finger and pinning them down, trying to create a small flower/rose bun - flatten the hair as you go, so that they look like "flat" rose petals.  If your pieces are bunched up, it will end up looking like a normal bun. Watch my video to see what I mean. 
  • Gradually add more hair to the bun to make them bigger.
  • For this look, taking small sections come out best.

  • Repeat to create another flower bun. I usually like to add 2 small buns to this hairstyle and on the 2nd flower chignon, I either make them bigger or smaller, fuller or tighter -  since uniformity, especially in a hairstyle, is as interesting as vanilla ice cream.  Play it up and create something unique and different!

    Night Terrors, Sleep Walking, Hormone Imbalance and Changing Your Life

    Image
    I've started to get night terrors again. In the past, I've always had someone next to me to grab me by the shoulders, calm me down and soothe me back to sleep. Now, I have no one. It was my very first experience of dealing with it alone. On Monday night I fell asleep early, around 8pm. I curled into bed with my hot water bottle by my feet and was grateful that a hard day was coming to an end. I'd resigned from my job... tears had been shed. I'd made the big decision to leave Cape Town where I had tried so hard to build a life for myself. A huge part of me felt (feels) like a failure. So needless to say, I was exhausted, falling into a quick, dreamless slumber. Then, suddenly, I shot up in bed... heart hammering out of my chest, gasping for breath. I was literally terrified. Even today, I can't quite figure out what I was doing but I think I thought there was something in the bed with me. I started throwing the blankets around, looking for 'something.' When ...

    Honesty Entering 2015

    Image
    What is a blog if it isn't honest? I think a lot of us bloggers set up an account, brag about our outfits or latest beauty products, share bits of our materialistic lives and gush about how fabulous and glitzy we can be (I'm just generalizing here by the way. There are many of you that I absolutely love to keep up to date with that have actual interesting things to say!)  Well, it's a new year in 1 day and 11 hours and I have something to admit. I haven't been honest with any of you. You see... 2014 was a pretty shitty year for me for lack of better words. In fact, they are the perfect words - because it was shitty. Yet here I was trying to coax you into trying some silly horse shampoo or publishing a post about buying a pair of bad quality shoes every month to show to you like it really even mattered?!  There were a small collection of 'real' posts I suppose - although I never really gave too much away. For example, there was the time back in June when my best ...
