HAIRBRAINED: GET BENT

never without out a few hundred ideas streaming in and out of my creative brain, I took an opportunity to take and post a few pics of a friend and her hair, while working on a completely separate hair idea.

poor Tiffiny?

such a good sport

so this is a seguay from my original plan to capture some natural beachy waves waves using DIY braids ...that's now a whole other story.

stay tuned for that

i'm really liking the transition from the big sexy and very polished (nothing low maintenance about that)curly and wavy hairstyles into a more natural state of bend and movement.

so these next few images are really about a QUICK and EASY method of creating a different look, a subtle shift in where the bend is sitting around face, forward movement, using a large barrel curling iron.

using a large barrel iron a, take vertical sections starting at eye level (mid way down section of hair) and roll the curl forward towards face..which is opposite of what you've been seeing the last few years in curls. leave the ends to be as is
essentially curling the mid-section of hair only creating slight bend that sits at eye level

let the curl drop softly around face and have it cool in this formation

taking my DOO-OVER AND STRETCHING THE CURL gives the hair a bit of grip as it relaxes into wave rather than curl
essentially building in the "lived in " look
