My body shape

I have just discovered my body shape is a spoon! I went to this great website www.shopyourshape.com and entered in my measurements, the answer was exactly right! Definitly go to it!

and so it begins...

It's another rainy day in wellington and I have just had a bath, I tried a lukewarm bath instead of a hot bath because after reading different advice from the internet it said that a cooler bath is better than a hot bath, something to do with your own body heat matching the cooler water.

Whatevs.

So I washed my hair, put in conditioner, put my hair inside a shower cap and put on my Wondercap Heatcap (http://www.wondercap.co.nz/). it has been ten minutes and I will now wash it out using cold water to close the hair follicle.

Once that has happened in will go my Redken leave in treatment and I will lightly blow dry my hair so that it is still damp.




Then onto the first go at a hairstyle in the Vintage hairstyling book by Lauren Rennells.

It is called " Cascading Curls".


So I've started off with my Redken product and have only blow dried my hair slightly because I will be sleeping in the pin curls.




Heres my fringe seperated out





Here I have started according to the directions a row at the base of my scalp.

This is my head all done,


So lovely and swirly!


And here is it after a night of sleeping in it and a day at work.


I put in the flower because my fringe didn't turn out the way I had hoped!

I'm going to get my hair permed. and thats final :)

To elaborate:
I recently bought a book called Vintage Hairstyling - retro hairstyling with step by step instructions by Lauren Rennells 2nd Edition. It was exactly what I was looking for and if you want to check out more then go to her blog - bobbypinblog.blogspot.com/ - it's very good.

(The perm is because all of the vintage hairstyles require curls and a perm is the easiest way for me to do so)

so I have decided to create a blog showing my attempts and I will be posting photos of my attempts here. I also have started following other peoples blogs and think it's a very cool thing.

I will be also blogging about my life as a single, sexless 21year old in Wellington, New Zealand. A country that seems to have no purpose but to supply milk to the world. Along with the milk is also cow farts.

The Beginning

Hello,

I have decided to start this blog as I am a follower of others. I may update it but I may not, you'll have to wait and see!
