La Coiffeuse: Greetings from NYC!

Hello from NYC!

Before I go into my post today, I'd like to take a minute and honor a legend in the hair industry-- Vidal Sassoon.

RIP Vidal Sassoon

You will be greatly missed.

I'm up here for a Dreamcatchers Extensions Class and lucky me-- my good friend Claire just moved to Brooklyn so I'm staying with her. I have to say, Brooklyn is UH-MAZING.

I'm ready to pack everything I own and move on her pull-out couch & live the New York dream.

So yesterday was my LAST DAY of my 30 Day Hair Challenge. Wooooo-hooooo! I can't believe I managed to stay sane throughout the whole thing. And after 30 days ... my hair has gotten ridiculously longer than it was when I started. :) *chest bump* So now, if anyone has trouble growing out of their hair when they reach the awkward stage-- I'm directing them to my 30 Day Hair Challenge.

Day Trente

Hippie Handband

So the last time I tried to rock the hippie headband look--

it was NYE. And the way I positioned the headband in the

middle of my forehead. And it was so tight I about

gave myself an aneurism.

So I decided on the last day of my challenge that I'd try

the style that I love so much but couldn't rock---until now.

Products Used: Moroccanoil Treatment

Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray

Tools Used: Flat Iron to Curl + Headband + Bobby Pins

How-To: Curl hair with flat iron (or curling iron or wand). See Day Quatre.

Place headband in over hair.

Normally when you put in a headband you place it underneath your hair

against your nape. But this time put it over your hair.

This will push the hair at your crown up, giving you a fuller look.

Since I have a HUGE forehead that I don't like to accentuate,

I don't place the headband directly on it.

But if you can-- more power!

Position the headband about 1 inch away from hairline.

Secure with bobby pins if needed.

Finish with Luminous Hairspray.

Seriously, I CANNOT get enough of NYC. I'm quite upset that I'm leaving tomorrow night to come home. Woommpppp-Woommppppp. My friend Claire has taken me to some of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Food coma all the way.
