Rock n roll me

I guess this is as rock n roll I get! 

I just love this style, I think it would be great if I was going out. I actually did have a small party today, we had a small Christmas party with the other mums. I wouldn't call that as going out partying, though!

My hair recently

As you've notice, I haven't posted so much about my hair and every day styles, even though that was the original meaning of this blog. I try to get back to my original rhythm so here are my hairstyles over the few days.

Monday I tried out waterfall twists. For the first time ever they worked out the way I really wanted them to. I really liked this style!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I had my hair just on pony tail, Today I realized that I can actually have a high bun if I just pin the hairs in the neck up!

Baking braids

I'm sorry the blog has been quiet for few days! My mind has totally been away from hair stuff and instead I've been baking and entertaining visitors. First I had my mum come over for few days, then the parents in law's arrived and today we have celebrated my darling little girls one year old party. I just can't believe it's already a year when she was born!

When I was baking I needed to have my hair up so these two where my "baking braids".

Equipment sport

I've come to an outcome that styling hair and taking good hair pictures have one thing in common -you need quality equipment! 

First of all,  I've been searching for a rehearsal head from internet already for few days. I have not decided if I will actually buy one but I'm tempted by the idea of always having a head waiting for me when I have time to do hair. Unfortunately those heads are not cheap and it's very difficult to buy one since styling hair is not my profession and I can't therefore use the stores directed to professional hair stylist. 

But my second equipment, portrait lense, I can buy immediately! My friend in the picture, who is half professional photographer, tipped me off about this portrait lense. These pictures are taken with it and they are taken inside, around four a clock. And they look so much better than my normal photos! What a difference good equipment makes!

And what comes to my hair, I wore a pony tail!

Busy Sunday

Our day was full of program today, first we had family day that my husbands work had organized, we went to a near by indoor science park for kids, Heureka. We had loads of fun! In the afternoon we had a date with our friend couple, we went to check their new house, it was amazing!

So I chose today to try out my new Remington curling wand. I only burned my self in the neck and thumb. I must say that I need much more practice with that. I after all managed to make some curls and they also looked quite nice, at least until I stepped outside to the rain...Well, my curls had a boho look in the evening.

I squeezed in two other hair do's, other one is this 15 minute bow bun. For the time I had I like the look of it. The other one was just for practice...

So much to do, so little time!

I'm so obsessed with hair lately. I just want to do new things all the time and I have so much ideas. Unfortunately time is my limit now, most of the things I want to do, I can't do with the kids around. Need to solve this problem still. Can I put to the kids to day care just because I want to braid?

Anyway, this is what I've done today. Pull through braid to a mum friend.

Dutch lace braid and a rope pony tail to another friend. I was entering Ice_braids #fallrecreation2 challenge with this one in Instagram.

I went to a Me and I -party in the evening and there where these little girls who wanted me to do them "an up do". They didn't have so much age or patience so I quickly did something what I remembered #jennishairstyles had earlier made. Pictures are very bad but the other one is a heart and the other a star. I also did one snake braid but I dont't have a picture of that.

And what about my hair? It was open I was supposed to curl it, I wanted to try my new curling wand but then I locked my self and the kids outside in the afternoon. By the time my husband got home I did not have any time to do any curling. Maybe tomorrow, then.

Last but not the least

Firstly I want to share with you the last of the up do's I did to someone else this weekend. This is my personal favorite, I especially love  that it's not too neat.

For my own hair I today created a braid up do. In the front I have dutch braid, little bit pancaked one, the two other braids are lace braids. The ends are tucked underneath my ear.

Back in business!

I have overcome my proxy server problem! Or more truthfully, my husband came back from business trip and fixed our computer, now I'm finally able to update my blog again, It has been so long time since the last update that I needed to go to my own blog and check what was the last style I posted!

I've done quite some different styles. One of the styles was 50's style finger curls and a half head up do with the curls. Unfortunately I've run out of space in my telephone and I have, by accident deleted some of the pictures! So unfortunately you can only see the picture of me with the pinned up curls only in Instagram, here. http://instagram.com/p/t8VpohRDKz/ 

The actual curls looked like this before any styling. In the end I ended up doing a half a pony tail according #steephshairstyles tutorial from Instagram, that also worked out well. Unfortunately I already deleted the picture, you find it in IG http://instagram.com/p/t9l0fYRDCz/ 

Finnish housewife

We had a family photo shoot today and I carefully put on my make up. Nowadays I normally don't wear so much make up anymore so every time I passed a mirror I almost scared myself-I thought that I look like someone how was going to go party all night in the club, not some one going to have some photos taken with the family.

All through photo shoot I was convinced I had too much make up and when we got home I took this photo to make sure did I. Now I'm happy that this does not look so bad.

Party party!

We had two different b-day parties today and the parties were located on opposite sides of the city We were also ex tempore asked to help out a friend whos child had gotten ill. This meant that afternoon went for my husband to drive around with the car while I was trying to keep children well behaved in the parties. 

It worked out well and I also felt good about my own looks even though I had only little time to do anything for example to my hair. Now when I look at this picture I feel I must have looked much better than this!

This picture is not much better either.

Christmas is here!

Well, if not really herehere then at least in Ikea. I just came back from there and there it was all, trees, balls, wrapping papers, twinging stars, everything... I bought and ate one bag (!) of marshmallow snowmen.Maybe that's why I look so content.

First styles as long bob brunette

This was one of the first photos, taken with a phone and bad lighting. But I like the soft waves.

Day after we visited a zoo so it just tied my hair to a quick pony tail.

The same day, I curled the hair again for the evening, we had a birthday party.

When we returned home and yesterday I just wanted to wear my hair straight and open.

Last styles as long blond

 As I did not post anything last week I have some pictures of last weeks hair style. These are the hair styles before I went to the hairdresser. 

 This was the day we left, I wore my hair straight and I made it fuller with some hair powder.

Next day I wanted to try a new braid pony, this was it.

Then it was turn for some more braids, this is a head band from a dutch braid with curls.

Finally I wanted to try something that I really could not do to short hair, The dutch braid goes around the bun and then around my head.

Later on I turned it to just a dutch braid in my bangs and otherwise open hair.

Before...and after

Hi, I.m back home. With totally new hair!

This was it before

And here it is after!

I must say that it was time for something new and I really like the length. But the color is not what I asked! I told my hairdresser that I don't want it to be red and that I want dark brown 3/4 upper half of my hair and blond ends, ombre coloring that is. And I can tell you that this is not ombre!

If I had more time I would have asked her to do it again but we needed to return home some for the next six weeks this will be my color. I already booked a new time to a hairdresser in Finland to finally get my ombre look. 

Am I going to miss it?

That is, my blond hair. I might. I'm going to hairdresser next week and I have decided to ask for a big make over, cut the hair shorter and give it a different color.

I made myself few hair principles earlier, my hair is going to be long and blond. Now I'm missing the adventure to have a totally different hairstyle! And for those of you who don't know, I had all the hair colors there is and also much shorter hair.

Crayfish time

From August starts crayfish season. Then it's traditional to have parties where the point is to eat crayfish, sing drinking songs and, well, drink shots of vodka. We had our party this weekend. I admit, I stayed away from the vodka but otherwise it was like old times, good friends, great food, awesome cottage by a lake, we had so much fun!

But back to the main business hair. For me this was a grat trip since all the girls allowed me to do their hair! First my hair, I wore snake braid on Saturday.

 

And open wavy hair on Sunday. I made the curls with GHD straightening iron.

 

 

For my lovely girl friends I made these. A water fall braid.

 

 

 

Curls to a bun.
