Hairstyle of the month: Faux bob

I decided I wanted to do a faux bob as a change from longer hair styles. I curled my hair first in hot rollers and then I tried pinning my hair under with bobby pins. This didn't work for me! I think it's because 1)my hair is so thin, and 2)I couldn't do the backside myself. Maybe it takes more practice. Then I looked up on YouTube for an easy tutorial and I finally found one! This lady used a hair ribbon (but you can use anything cute to tie: bandana, silk scarf, etc..) and she tied the end of her hair and rolled it into a bob, then tied the ribbon on top of her head. Well, just watch the video to see the tutorial. It was super easy for me and I'm glad I learned a new way to style my hair. This is such a great hair style for summer too.

Hairstyle of the month: Rolled Bangs

So one of my new year's resolutions is to try a new hairstyle every month and post about it. This will help me practice more and also try new styles I've never done.
Yesterday I tried the rolled bangs. I try to keep my bangs short and trimmed because I have very thin and limp hair, so my bangs never look full. But I love bangs so I wear them anyway. Usually I'll curl them with a hot roller and it's passable. I can't do big foward rolled bangs like in the Vintage Styling book (which was what I really wanted to do) because I don't have enough hair.





I've also been thinking about using a hair rat roll. I've never used one before so I have to experiment with that also. Have any of you ladies used it before?
Anyway, here are some pics I took of my small rolled bangs. Any tips and advice are welcome!
