The beehive is back and bigger than ever! I had an hour or two to kill today before an appointment, so I decided to play around with my hair. I've been wanting to attempt a full beehive but all my prior attempts have literally fallen flat.
SOooooo, today I watched a few videos, tried a few things, then ended up going rogue, borrowing an idea here and there and trying it my own way. I really loved the results and it's closer to a beehive than I've yet been able to achieve.
The reason none of the videos really worked for me was that they all involved teasing (back-combing) your hair. I'm 80% against that in the normal run of things and as I mentioned yesterday I'm working really hard to give my hair a little TLC right now so I'm 100% against teasing.
For my method, I put my hair in a ponytail, then bobby pinned a large bun donut to the area of hair in front of the ponytail. I topped the bun donut with a foam bump to give it height and shape. Then I wrapped the ponytail forward, twisted the front and bobby pinned it in place.
I tucked the end of the ponytail under the side, followed all that with more bobby pins and sprayed. I intend to keep working on this hairstyle (put it on the list with half a dozen others), but for now anything that does no harm to my hair and even looks great on that last day before I shampoo is exactly what I'm looking for.
While we're on the subject of exactly what I'm looking for, I've had this Forever 21 dress for several years and it never fails to amaze me how many different outfits I can make from it. I just wore it to work last week, washed it, and had it hanging up to be closeted when I thought of wearing it with these warm red tights. Love! This may be my favorite outfit with this dress so far.
And with this short length, tights make all the difference, plus I think a shorter hem is the perfect match to a vintage style. The bright colors, the geometric patterns, the crop cardi, I love it all. This is how clothes and hair should make us feel everyday.
