Hair Ramble

I am really in the mood to blog today but I don't really have anything to blog about. I'm going to NYC this weekend and I am so excited and distracted that I can hardly work. I keep thinking about what I'm going to pack, the roadtrip... etc.

So, I curled my hair with my GHD flat iron this morning. For anyone that knows me, it may seem ridiculous for my to have curled my hair because I have natural curls. But these curls are sleek, shiny, and smooth curls - much more relaxed than my normal curls. They are really more like heavy, big waves. That sentence may also seem like a contradiction because I used a flat iron. I swear though, I won't go back to a curling iron.

My GHD curled my hair into tight curls and I ran my fingers through them a couple of times to get the type of curl I wanted. The result is posted here. The picture isn't great because I was at work and the light right above my desk doesn't work. Here is another photo of my hair, right after I finished it (pretty bad quality as well). My fringe didn't stay as curled as I would have liked but it was my own fault because I kept messing with them to lay down better on the way to the office. Then I realized I should have left it alone. Oh, well! I still liked it a lot anyway!

I always knew that I could curl my hair with the GHD and I had tried it a couple of years ago when the iron just came out and I paid a ridiculous amount for it. But it didn't go well so I hadn't tried it again. But I came across a video posted by Elle Fowler, Allthatglitters21 on youtube. She curled her hair with it for a costume party and I realized I had done it all wrong. Check out her video here: How To Curl Your with a GHD -Pirate Look Part 1 Thanks, Elle!
