Tis the season to be glam...

Idecided to practice holiday looks today, I think I might have this whole updo thing down. This hairdo was pretty easy, all I really did was use a curling iron to create ringlet like curls, then I pinned the hair to the side pulling my bangs down a bit. Then gently one by one I picked up the curls and pinned them in a bunch. Im excited because I am trying to get sort of a soft ombre color in my hair which means each time I go to my stylist we darken my roots and drag the color through my hair leaving the ends lighter... I can see it is starting to show especially with this style! I really love how this turned out it reminds me of the Ladies of Downton Abbey which I think is my inspiration for my holiday looks this season.

Glamorous Waves in Under 20

I love glamorous waves unfortunately for me these do not come naturally. I am naturally a frizzy headed brunette, so it takes a lot of chemical and curler time for me to become a dramatic wavy blonde. Because I love the blonde waves so much I have gotten my beauty routine down to an art which I will share below. 

Basically I brush out my frizzy hair, use an Ionic Curling Iron (which I purchased at Nordstrom) and begin curling from my bangs all the way around my head. Then I just pull my fingers through my hair to get a natural look and spray with my ultimate favorite product from Birchbox 12 Benefits (avoid hairspray, you don't want crunchy curls) and BAM! Pretty glamorous hair! This is my routine I hope this helps anyone attempting this gorgeous look! P.S. Set a timer this seriously takes under 20 minutes if your hair is dry starting out.
