Faking It

Let's talk hair.

I get bored with hair easily. But right now, I am trying to grow it out, so I gotta suck it up. I have been stalking Pinterest's Health & Beauty section. You all surely must be familiar with Kate from The Small Things Blog. She is like the hair guru of the Pinterest world. Luckily for me, she posted a video the other day on Faking Natural Curls.

This girl fakes it good! I mean, I don't believe that she doesn't have natural curly hair. Her hair is envious. Anyway, so I thought I would give it a shot.... but the cheaper version. Who has money to spend on high end hair products these days?! (I wish).

So off to Walmart I went, at 9pm at night. Left with a $15 Conair curling iron, Organix Moroccan Sea Salt Spray, and some curl enhancing spray from John Freida. 

The next morning I followed her tutorial to a T. I have never used a curling iron so it took some getting use to. A few burns on the fingers later...It turned out decent for being my first time. I was pretty pumped. My mom use to curl my hair with those old school curlers! I've done my hair about 4 times now. I looks better every time. I love it. But I wish someone else could do it for me and that my hair was longer and blonde, but oh well. My arms get SO tired, I have to take breaks. Pathetic I know. So overall I think Kate's tutorial is awesome, as well as her tips on hair. Visit her blog when you get a chance!

The only decent picture I have of my hair results:
