Vibrant Purple & Chevron Print

My hair is obviously currently purple. In some lights it appears blue and even pink. I'm lovin' it, (my Mom not so much). I got bored and decided to whip out my seemingly prehistoric "Crimper" and crimped a few pieces of my hair. It added a edgy touch (I felt) to my outfit. I did my favorite winged liner look and because my hair and chevron scarf were both so bright and statements already I decided on nude lips.

Next is a "mirror pic" of my Outfit of the Day. I guess you could say the rest of my outfit is edgy as well? Anywho, edgy is what I am for. I pretty much live in dark colors, leather material, with bright statement pieces but of course sometime's I change it up depending on how I feel. Oh, and please pardon my messy dorm room seeing as I've been on the go the past week and haven't had much time to straighten up.

How I crimp my hair:
First, I comb threw my hair gently trying not to cause any breakage. I usually spray some type of leave in conditioner and/or detangler after the shower and then comb through. I apply a heat protectant before blowdrying. You can get a cheap hair protectant at the drugstore by Pantene for less than $5. After blowdrying I brush my hair. Next, depending on whether you want to crimp your whole head or not I usually would straighten my hair before if I were only doing a few pieces. If doing your whole head, I wouldn't even worry about it. Following the blowdrying or straightening (whichever you end with) next apply heat protectant to the piece you want to straighten (if not doing your whole head) then start crimping from about a half an inch to an inch away from your scalp. I feel it just looks nicer that way and doesn't stick up at the crown as much. Crimp on each section for 5-20 seconds depending on how your hair is. If your hair is FINE then you really only need to crimp it for about 5 seconds. If it is pretty thick like mine then keep it on for 15-20 seconds. After crimping hold hairspray a few inches away from the crimped hair and spray.

If anyone is curious on how I died my hair bright purple, leave a comment below and I will write a post about it. (It's been about a month, so it was much brighter then.)


(Being silly, of course!)

My hair right after I died it. It was super super bright and vibrant.


Anyways below are the Nylon magazines I am currently reading. I'm also really loving the covers and spreads of both Demi and Vanessa. STUNNING.
