Adventures with hair styles #1

'Ello!!!

If your like a lot of people at a salon who haven't decided what cut they want; you might pick up a book and start flipping... or maybe your board and just waiting. Either way what you are looking at isn't a cut, its a style. The day after you got your hair cut you might find it looks nothing like the picture.

Last time I was wanting a new "cut" I, of course, looked at style books. I looked for something that was versatile I wanted many options for styling. Chose this. 

Oh! Hey look! It even have another style presented. It is also short, short is a must.
I have straightened and curled it. I have pined and put flowers. But I want to do MORE. I want to explore my crazy and try something funky and edgy.

I decided I am going to blog about my adventures whith hair styling.

TO THE PINTEREST ACCOUNT!

Found pictures, and some tutorials.
Tried one yesterday. 

It's a screen shot of a utube tut. It seemed a good one to start with. Looked simple.
AAaaannnd.... 
FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

No poof. All that teasing only stayed for like 5 min. Not that my hair looked bad but it was not what I wanted. Sadface. :(

2nd try a day later  

Better but the sides are not as defined as they should be and top not as high as it should be.

I will try a couple of more times but oh the disappointment! I will add to this later if I ever succeed and what I did to achieve that success.

Btw for those who would want it here is the link to the tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlIXhNyxfNs

Just Getting Started

This is my first post. I am a artist but this is not my artist blog. (trying to create another blog for that on my studio's email) This is my geek haven. The plan is to blog about nerdy/geeky things, book reviews, games and fashion. There might be a little on food. I have no clue what my first "real" blog post will be (this one doesn't count). And I have no clue if anyone will ever read it. This is just one more creative outlet for me.

Also WARNING! my grammar and spelling kinda sucks. Although I will try to keep an eye on it, Grammar Nazis should stay away... or just ignore. Some things just slip past me especially when I am tired or in a hurry. That doesn't mean I am not going to try to work on this little weakness of mine.

(btw the 's' has a complex and thinks he is a 'z'. The 'z' was taken and I didn't want to add numbers... Don't tell the little bugger, it'll break his heart.)
