Spring is an exciting time of year...beez are buzzing, flowers are
growing, rain is falling. A time for spring cleaning, out with the old and in with the new! same goes with your hair. Since spring tends to bring lots of showers, its hard to spend alot of time on a hair do that's just going to get wet. Flowers are the best accessory.. and I'm not talking yard work here!
Along with spring cleaning, when you ad that bouquet of flowers to your table to brighten up the room do the same for your hairstyle, you can purchase fake flowers that all ready have a clip sewn on for you or you can pick real ones from your own flower garden. whatever you choose, make sure its not too big. rule of thumb, the shorter the hair the littler the flower, the longer bigger hair the bigger flower, with this look its all about proportion. If you are using a real flower for the day pair it up with two bobby pins place the flower where you like it best, hold it there with your finger while you place the first bobby pin in crisscrossing it over the stem of the flower in a diagonal position. Now take the second bobby pin and diagonal it the opposite way crisscrossing the first bobby pin. I know it sounds difficult, but it just takes practice. Don't give up. with really really short hair i would suggest investing in some tiny bobby pins that have tiny flowers glued to them. I would place them sideswiping your bangs to the left or right side of your head. for you gals with long hair or hair to the shoulders do a side messy bun. first choose either the left or right side (i prefer to go the opposite side of my part) take your hair to the side put it into a pony tail then take a second rubber band and make it into a messy bun. on the side of the bun that is closest to your face leave a spot that you don't make messy, place your flower there.
On those grey rainy days, you will bring spring into wherever you go. and no matter how wet your hair gets, you will not have a bad hair day. flowers are so fun, they make a really boring bun into a festive "I actually did my hair" today, they also pull bright spring outfits together. tip: the color of your flower should be the color of the least amount of color that is on your dress. example: if you have a mostly orange dress with little bright pink swirlies in it..go with the bright pink flower.
When you come in for your spring color or haircut, bring your favorite flower and I will show you how to do a couple extra styles with spring in mind!!
