Hair-How-To; Ombre Purple Hair

Do I have an amazing hair DIY for you! Adding color to your hair has become so popular! 

Many celebrities like Katy Perry, Lauren Conrad, Jordin Sparks, and Selena Gomez have added a pop of color to their lovely locks. 

Even I have attempted to add some purple color to my hair!

The only issue with adding color is the lengthy process. Especially if you have dark hair like myself, you first have to bleach your hair, and then add the color you want. Then, after all that time and damage you do to your hair, the color fades so quickly and you end up with dull color, or grey hair. 

Recently they have come out with hair chalk! It's just like sidewalk chalk but for your hair! It's so simple to apply and is semi-permanant so you don't have to worry about damaging your hair or the weird colors that the permanent colors fade to.

You can even add it to extensions if you're unsure if you'll like the color in your hair, or just to have it for a fun night out.

To apply the color, you may want a friend to help, especially with the back since its so hard to see on your own. I prefer getting a piece of cardboard, putting my hair over it, and coloring over that to avoid a mess.

You can add them to the tips or your hair or go all the way to the roots!

And wah-la! You have beautiful ombre purple streaks in your hair! There is also hair chalk available in a variety of different colors and shades so you can add any color that you like to your hair.

Until Next Time

DIY: Festival Shorts

It's that time of year again! Music Festivals galore starting with the famous Coachella! I hope you are all pumped just as much as I am.  I've decided to do a fun little DIY on festival shorts that are flirty, fun and cute.

What you will need are some basic shorts and scarf that you no longer care for. 

In addition, fabric glue, scissors and brads

You will place the scarf on top of either side of the shorts and pin in it . 

Keep the pins in place as you cut along to the shape of the shorts. 

Now, get the fabric glue and trace the outline of the area.

Place the fabric on top and firmly pat it down. You can also add a fun trim. (My old scarf had a crochet trim that I decided to use on the seam of the pocket.) 

To add the brads you will need to snip a couple of holes wherever you like. 

 Simply push through the brad into the denim. 

Notice that the edges go through the fabric, so I added the excess fabric from my old scarf so as to not scrape or cut my leg. 

You are now all set to go !  I hope you had fun transforming plain old jean shorts into something fun and trendy.  

See you all at Coachella!
