Big Hair

So, yesterday I was sitting around playing with my hair and this is what came out of it:

It is sort of a cross between the exaggerated height and texture (à la Brigitte Bardot) seen at the Mulberry s/s 2012 show and the looped under pony tail (or so I would like to think). Curls, volume and up dos are currently dominating the catwalks. Luckily I am blessed with curly locks, which make embracing these hair trends fairly easy. 

Whether you've got curly tresses or poker straight hair you can achieve this look easily. Well, first you might want to curl your hair - tongs and perms are back in vogue this season. After that, follow these simple steps:

1. Tie hair up in a high pony tail and separate a lock of hair.

2. Wrap the lock twice or more around the loose hair of the pony tail.

3. Hook your finger under the top of a bobby pin and slide it in catching the loose strand first and the centre of the bottom end of the pony tail after that.

4. Make sure the pin is secured tightly and not visible (somewhat lost in your hair). And you should end up with something like this:

OK, so it may not be your every day look, but it is a funky way to spice up that pony tail and have a bit of fun! At least that's what I think. The question is what do you?

Post your comments and questions below and let me know how it goes.

The return of the lost child

No, I have not abandoned this blog yet! And yes, I should be scolded for going off the radar for so long. But Benjamin Franklin once said: "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing". Now, since I haven't been doing anything much lately, apart from dealing with giant university workloads and trying to find out whether I am depressed or not (in medical terms I'm not quite there yet), I haven't been able to find the inspiration to write.

In fact, over this period I sort of realised that I don't really like to write, well unless I'm super-duper motivated to do so. It's always been a 'chore'. I have also realised that I don't quite like the career path I'm taking and the university I am studying at. Maybe I should suck it up and get on with it, maybe I should rebrand my blog, maybe I should just quit. Here, ladies and gentlemen, you meet the ugly face of my indecisiveness.

Coming back to this blog, I actually wanted to have different sections - fashion, current affairs, education, lifestyle, etc. - so that I can write about whatever came across my mind as particularly interesting. However, I haven't been able to figure out a way to divide my blog into several sections or pages... So whilst I do that, I'll be posting here, hopefully not once in a blue moon, a random array of posts.

Enough said.
