As many of you already know, I'm right in the core of the wedding planning process for my February 2014 wedding! Many brides turn to a planner to keep organized and in tune with the latest trends, but I thrive from this kind of stuff, especially since it's been my own wedding! I've had a lot of time to plan, so each experience of picking flowers, asking the bridesmaids, and picking the dress has been made into a celebration!
Along with picking the flowers, you have to put your faith into the hands of your make-up artist, photographer, hair stylist, etc. Of course, we all want the best of the best to take care of us on our big day, so I've been doing lots of research. Along the way, I've picked up a few tips on some DIY hair tools that will make you look fabulous if you are planning to do you own hair on your big day or if you just want to look amazing for all the weddings you have coming up this summer!
As we know, Wedding Season can cost a fortune between shower gifts, wedding gifts, and adorable dresses, so why not add a finishing touch with a DIY up-do that will save you money, but keep everyone guessing "who did her hair?"
Often times I have people ask me how I'm able to do my hair in so many different styles. Long, thick hair helps, but I also seek the help of some fun tools!
Whenever I pull these "screws" out of my hair, I get a lot of strange, but intrigued, looks. They look silly and it's hard to understand how they actually work, but they just do! All you do is wrap your hair into a bun, spin these babies into the center of the bun, one on each side and voilà...it stays up! No ponytail holder required and the best part...it doesn't leave any indentations in your hair like the holders do!
You can do a high bun, middle, or low...it doesn't matter! I've even gotten a little creative with them and use them to push my hair up for more volume when it's in a messy bun!
Below is a tutorial of how to use The Wrap Up! Forget the sock bun! This is soo much easier and more natural looking!
Here is a tutorial of Sarah, herself, using The Wrap Up! She's so amazing with hair that she makes it look effortless! I love the loose curls and the way she puts the bun to the side! Did you check out that "Faux Bob" below? Amazing! You don't even need to chop off your hair! It's all about versatility! One day you have a short bob the next day you have a big beautiful bun!
Sarah Potempa is all about making it easy for us! Now we can do the same looks effortlessly! Imagine having the same looks that Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Emily Blunt, or even the look that Lea Michele has below:
