I love her hair!!!!

I love both of these styles! Great protective styles for any occasion. I will be trying to figure these out. And...I want the earrings!

Pressed Out Summer Hair

Because of my disastrous hair dryer accident a couple of weeks ago, I decided to straighten my hair. That actually sounds strange, but I really wanted to do a length check and trim the ends. I have never straightened my hair in the summer. Plus, I really don't like to blow dry my hair with a hand dryer and then use heat again to straighten it. I'm a little paranoid. So, I twisted my hair first and let it dry in twists. The next day, I got out my curling iron and curled/ straightened my hair. I didn't get my hair "bone straight", and that was OK for me.  As you can see from the pictures, my hair did not  stay curled for long. The high humidity! But, I did get to trim my hair, and do a length check. I'm about bra strap length in the back and I don't know... mid chest (lol) in the front? (That's not a term I've seen anywhere!) These are just a couple of the styles I did. I really kind of love a bun. So, most of the time I lived in a big top knot, side bun,  and low chignon. The bun just traveled from one end of my head to the other, lol.

I love that I live close enough to the beach that I can just jump in! (No matter what I am wearing)

As you can see, I just flat twisted the sides and attached with a hair band in the back

This was half up half down. Hadn't even left the house. Already fizzed out. But, I love the bigness!

I know a lot of ladies straighten their hair, even in the summer. What do you all do the preserve your stye and hard work?

Remixed-Audrey Hepburn 50's Icon Style Icon,

OK, so this is my version of a style inspired by Audrey Hepburn. This particular style was inspired by the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's an updo that is good for special occasions. (I didn't have a tiara handy. ) But, it can also be dressed down for any occasion using a scarf or a headband.  I re-twisted my hair last night with  Cantu Shea Leave-In Conditioner. I find that it helps to keep the curls defined pretty well. (Even in this crazy humidity) It was pretty easy. It's harder to see all of the details of the stle from my pictures.

So, Audrey...

Sherry!
...Whatcha think



It was pretty quick and easy to do. I just parted my hair into three horizontal sections, twisted the back section up into a small, tight roll and looped the ends into a pin curl, toward the middle of my head. The middle section, I kind of twisted, just to get it out of the way.
The front section (or bangs) was secured with a couple bobby pins to create a hump in the front. (The sides of the middle section,  I parted off, and kept separated to use later.) The ends of that front section, I added to the middle section and made a high ponytail, using a hair elastic. The ends of the ponytail are tucked into a high bun. The two sections that I separated, were pulled toward the back and the ends tucked under the bun, and pinned into place. Repeat the same steps on the other section.
That's pretty much it.
 I saw a video on You Tube by  a talented young lady named Koi. This is her channel and the video that she posted. It's almost the same thing that I did. http://www.youtube.com/user/StrawberryKoiVintage.  I didn't have to tease my hair to make it look fuller. I just separated the twists into smaller twists to add volume. No comb was necessary. The only styling tools I used were my hands, one hair band and some hair pins.
The hairstyle looked cute with twists. But, I think it would also work very well on a roller set, too.

Let me know what you think. How would you remix this style?
