The Great Haircut of 2017

I did it. Blame Carrie Underwood if you need to. I saw her in concert, and thought that if I cut my hair like hers that her body would come along with the cut. That last part was a bit of a leap, but hey! I've been in the gym 6 days a week lately, so maybe there is something to this haircut.


A lot of people want to know how and if it's possible to have mermaid waves at this length. Yes, fear not. I may burn myself a little more, but it is entirely possible.

For your viewing pleasure, I created this time lapse video for you. I called it a "speeded-up video." Josh rolled his eyes.

Products used: 
-Hot Tools Rainbow Gold 1" Curling iron
-Kenra Platinum Dry Texture Spray 6


Mermaid Waves | Tutorial

This is my first hair tutorial! I learned how to use my fancy, big girl camera to make a detailed video of my mermaid waves. This is my go-to hair style because I can wear it down, or add a braid for the days when my hair is greasy. On day 2, I can usually get away with dry shampoo and waves, but day 3 is when it's time to hide some grease in a braid or twelve.


1. Start with clean, blown dry hair.
2. Separate into sections.
3. I use a 1" Hot Tools curling iron, but you can use bigger or smaller depending on big you want your waves.
4. Take 1" sections of your hair and wrap around the barrel, clamp and hold for 30 seconds.
5. Spray with a firm hairspray.
6. Let your hair cool before running fingers through it to loosen your waves.
