Rock your Runway! ~ Trying Hair Stuff from Pinterest

Sorry I am such a flake lately and keep forgetting to post RYR! Truth be told I haven’t rocked much of anything besides a ponytail and pjs lately, so last week I decided to step it up a bit, and tried three things from my Make Me Pretty pin board.

First up I tried this hair massage…

(click the pics to go to the original source)

“Indian women are known for beautiful hair,” says Purohit. “Hair oil massages are a big thing. Once a week, we apply coconut, olive or almond oil to hair, massage it in for five minutes, leave on for 10, then shampoo.”

I deleted the pics because I wasn’t going to share since it really didn’t do anything but I figured I’d share my experience since it’s a pretty funny story. First, off I didn’t have anything but vegetable oil. I asked hubby to get me some olive oil when he went to the store…he didn’t. I decide to got ahead anyway with the veg oil. Long story short I had to wash my hair 3 times before I quit smelling fried chicken every time I flat ironed my hair…

I’m sure this is one of those things that if it does work would take quite a few times before you got real results, so I plan on continuing this for a few months…just as soon as I get my hands on some coconut oil…at least I won’t smell like fried chicken…lol!

Next up…

“Quick waves from braids”

In all fairness I didn’t read the tute…I figured the pic was pretty self explanitory. So here’s me…

I just braided sections, flat ironed and left them till I was done with my makeup so they had plenty of time to cool and set.

Sophie thought my hair looked awesome just like this! lol

Here’s how it looked once I took the braids out…sorry the pics are blurry but I can’t use flash in the mirror which makes my shutter slow which equals blurry crazy photos!

Anywho, I think it would probably work better if you did like with the no heat curls that have been all over pinterest and blogland and blowdry to about 80% dry then braid small sections and sleep on it.

My hair did come out a little wavy but it was still very frizzy…but my hair is always frizzy when it’s straight…It would have been perfect if I were going to the beach or just anywhere near the beach, but not my kinda everyday look. If I were ever to do it again, I would do it a day after I washed to cut down on frizz.

So now what?? Family was coming over for an early Thanksgiving since my hubby’s mom and dad work on Thanksgiving so I had to come up with some sort of decent hair style…

Then, I remembered this….

It was perfect because I recently cut bangs that I hate!

So here’s my version:

I wish my hair hadn’t looked like I stuck my finger in an electrical outlet (darn you South Louisiana humidity!) but I have to say I really loved this look! It’s definitely my go to look till these miserable bangs grow out!

And here was my outfit…

My dress definitely didn’t feel/look as short as it does in this pic…Now I see why my sil asked me if I was going to a rock concert…

Definitely love the hair though!

And last, but certainly not least…my little Sophie. When she saw my braids she wanted braids. I had been wanting to try this hairstyle:

And since she wanted braids I though it was the perfect chance!

So there you have it! An actual RYR post! Woohoo! I’ll try to keep it up and not be such a flake!

What have you been rockin??
