7 Day Hair

I'm setting readers a challenge.  A challenge which I'll admit I may not be able to complete.  I'm a little set in my hair ways.  7 days, 7 styles.  Here's some inspiration to get you going....

Top Knot


Small and neat.


Big and dishevelled.  Use a doughnut (or a sock!) to make it mega.


Centre parting, 60's style.


Low Bun


Messy and gorgeous.


Backcomb the crown and let whisps escape. 


Sweep everything to the side and keep it really tidy.


Side Plait


Beautifully loose.


Use volumising mouse and back comb the lengths, plait and then run 
your fingers roughly up the plait to get your hair looking like this.


Tie with a 'snag' band for a low maintenance look and let bits escape.


Heidi Plait


Prim yet undone.


Thick hair is best to get plaits this chunky.  If you have thin hair, rough it up and backcomb before plaiting.


Keeping it serene.

Method - this one takes a little more work BUT is so much easier than it looks.  Part your hair centrally from forehead to the nape of the neck and plait two pig tails starting from around the ears.  Secure with small 'snag' bands.  Simply lift and wrap one round the head to meet the other ear, and repeat with the other plait.
Then tuck in the ends underneath the lengths of the plaits and secure with kirby grips.  Let bits escape.  It's gorgeous when a little mussed up.


Messy Pony


Hair grabbed high and tied.


Low with Summery mini plaits for a beach look.


Wonderfully glossy and smooth at the top.  Secure and pull up at the crown to achieve this.


Big


Pure. Sex.  Rollers, tongs, combing haphazardly, sweeping over one eye.


Thick and full of body.  Best not to brush it for a few days!


Calmer, but still full.  Massage the scalp vigourously with hair that is not squeaky clean.  
Spritz with spray and scrunch a little.


Adorned


Child like, badly tied and heavenly.


Flower bands are fantastic for festivals and Summer parties but must be worn with messy hair for the required Midsummer Nights Dream look.


A classic silk scarf.  Tied at the top in a chunky, casual knot or looped at 
the forehead and tied at the neck like above.  Eternally chic.

Let me know how it goes xxx
