This seamless trim technique is a method I’ve been using for years to add custom trim to my costumes without any top-stitching at all. Similar in a way to bias tape, but with many key differences in implementation and results. No one taught me this technique, but now I’m teaching it to you! Please read through all the instructions below before asking any further questions, and happy trim-making! C:

I’m so excited to share this hair tutorial! Beehives can be intimidating, but they are actually pretty simple to style when you have the right supplies. The first time I tried this technique was in this video shoot and I’ve been a believer ever since. Here’s what you’ll need: A bath loofa (any color), A piece of fabric that matches your hair color (just large enough to cover your loofa), a rubber band, bobby pins and hair spray.

Step 1: Cover a bath loofa in a solid fabric that matches your hair color.

Step 2: Pull one small section of hair forward (leave unteased). Gather a second 1-2 inch section, spray and back-comb it. Repeat with 2-3 more sections until your hair looks like this…

Step 3: Add the loofa to your hair. Wherever you position the loofa will be where the bump sits. Cover the loofa with pieces of hair and pin each piece down. Continue to cover it from every direction until the loofa is completely hidden!

Step 4: Pull pieces from the sides of the hair back to cover the sides of the bump. This creates a beautiful shape.

Step 5: Choose to pull the back of the hair up or leave it down (a la Amy Whinehouse).

A few tips: If you have shorter hair use just the fabric (tied in a big knot/ball) and skip the loofa. Try a lace hedband, daisy chain or style maiden braids in the front of your beehive. Practice makes perfect. Experiment to find out how much hairspray and teasing your hair needs.

Another old tutorial in a new format. This one is for a twist on the plaited headbands.

Full old post over here :)

1. Get yourself some chalk pastels. You can find them at any art or craft store or on Amazon. Make sure they are CHALK pastels and not OIL pastels; otherwise you’ll make even more of a mess!

2. Pick your favorite color of chalk, and wet the tip of the chalk you have chosen. Then rub the end of the chalk up and down the tips of your hair, re-wetting when necessary. (You can also wet your hair instead of the chalk, but I find it easier to just re-wet the chalk when needed. You don’t want your waterlog your hair, since then it will become a mushy mess.)

3. Switch colors if you want. Just go crazy. Experiment. This type of hair is meant to be fun and carefree! (For my hair, I used a combo of four colors: magenta, peach, royal blue, and turquoise.)

4. Wait for your newly colored hair to dry a little before you get dressed. You don’t want to get colored dye on your party outfit. Also, don’t forget to wash your hands after, you’re going to get a bit messy. Don’t worry, it comes off with soap and water!

Three extra tips:
* If you have lighter hair, skip wetting the chalk first and just use the chalk dry on your hair. Wetting it may stain lighter hair a bit more than darker hair. If you find that the color isn’t showing up enough for you, you may want to run a flat iron over the part you just colored. The heat will help brighten and seal the color in.
* Apologies in advance for the ladies with super dark hair; you may have to sit this one out (although, you could try some bright blues and purples for a cool subdued effect). 
* Don’t fear that it will rub off onto your clothing once it’s dry. I was wearing a white blouse when we took these photos, and I went out to dinner afterward and came home with no trace of color anywhere on me or my clothing (save for some bright pink chalk under my nails because i didn’t wash my hands well enough;).

“Hair chalking” is the latest trend in temporary hair color, and after soaking up our share of YouTube tutorials on how to fake a dip-dye with a box of pastels, you can bet we were scrounging through our leftover art class supplies ready to put a package to use. Using chalk pastels on dampened hair will result in a vivid look that easily rinses away in the shower, thanks to the powdery formula. Think of it as colored hair powder in stick form. Though pastels are prime for streaking long hair, we discovered that not only are they more vibrant on shorter locks, they’re also a lot less messy.

This wild leopard look is easy to achieve and will leave everyone wondering who does your hair! Do it on yourself,  on a friend, mix it up with a combination of colors, or think up your own pattern! Just make sure you shower before hitting the sheets, or you’ll be faced with a mess the next morning. Let’s get chalking!

You’ll Need:

• 1 box of chalk pastels from an art supply store
• Rubber Gloves
• A glass of water
• A towel

STEP 1

Wet hair with water and wrap a towel around your neck to protect your clothing. Select a bright-colored pastel for the leopard spots (we chose green).

STEP 2

Wearing your gloves, dip your finger into a glass of water and wet a desired starting point on your head. The wetter the hair, the brighter the color will be. With your colored pastel, draw a spot no more than half an inch wide on your locks. Repeat, drawing another spot of a slightly different size about one or two inches away from the first. Continue until your desired area is covered entirely in spots. Don’t worry about making perfect circles, either—spots look better slightly oblong.

STEP 3

Wet your finger and use it to dampen the hair around the edge of a green spot. Then, take your black pastel and draw a U-shape over the top of the spot. Repeat over each green spot, altering not only the size of the U-shape, but the direction it faces as well.

STEP 4

Finish the design by drawing random small black spots in open spaces.

STEP 5

Blow-dry your hair if needed, and wipe your neck or ears free of any loose pigment. Mist your head lightly with hairspray to ensure it lasts the day. To remove your design, simply wash away with shampoo.

Rock your new do’ all day and give them something to chalk about!

“Take a simple tank top or vest and cut all the way up to the middle so that the cuts stop just beneath your bust.Cut strands all the way round your tee-shirt and MAKE SURE YOU CUT A PAIR NUMBER of strands ! Once you have cut all around your future crop top and you have it looking like a fringed tee, knot the strands together two by two. Next of all, take one strand out of one knot and another strand out of the next-door knot and knot them together to make a diamond shaped hole. Continue all the away around your vest. Try and keep your knots on neat rows for the best effect. Repeat until you have no space left on your strands to knot another row. Cut off any excess fabric.”

So, I actually did this one! Was quite time consuming, but the end product turns out quite cute! You can see how my turned out here! I also used some of the excess fabric (mine was a tunic tank top) to make a bow and fashion it around the neckline! xx

P.S. I know this isn’t hair related, but it’s a bit of fun and I like sharing these things with all of you! ♡

Is it just me or did Gradient Nails hit the internet hard this weekend?!
I wrote a tutorial detailing the way I did it and it works pretty darn well if I say so myself.

Click here to see the whole thing! 

I haven’t seen it done this particular way before. I may need to try it, my gradients never look right.
