Getting caught up.

Man this last week has been a hectic one! For our 4th of July float, we had a competition. Each participating student was given a mannequin head, and we had to do hair/makeup. The works. The theme was fantasy. Each and every mannequin turned out SO GOOD. Everyone had a completely different idea of fantasy so everything was really unique. Some were super sci-fi and some were just elegant. The winner was a girl who cut and styled the hair completely to look like a monarch butterfly. It was soooo cool. Her make up and cape were all decked out in butterflies too. I ended up staying at school until 9:45 pm on Tuesday (I'm supposed to leave at 5!) so that I could finish mine and turn it in. I did a glam fairy for mine.
I don't really have a great picture of just the hair. The picture I have of the back also includes the whole tripod so it's not upclose of what I did to the hair. You can kind of get an idea of what I did from this picture, even though it's a lot cooler than what you can see here.

So that's that. I'll show some things I did about 2 weeks ago. First I'll start with my love Mary Beth! She was ready for something different. She was also going home to visit all of her family so she wanted to look gooooood.

Before:
Aaaaand AFTER: (Even though the lighting is terrible so you can't see the coloring!)



I love love love it on her! (And I love Tori's cute face peeking over her shoulder haha!) Anyway, MB has super thick curly hair, so I really needed to remove some weight for her. To make it easier for her to style and just to not feel so heavy. I cut a square line and then did flat layers. For the color I did a full head weave with a 3N. It turned out really nice against her natural hair color! The whole thing just looks super good on her!

Well I walked this morning in the Murray parade so I woke up entirely too early so I'm honestly too tired to post the other hair I wanted to share but I'll make sure I do soon!
