S&S hairstyles

My sister and I recently watched Sense & Sensibility,besides "Emma" this is one of my favorite Jane Austen movies. I loved Marianne's hair in this 2008 version and what the hairstylists did with it,so I thought I would do a post on the hairstyles from this movie,mainly Marianne though.

If I did this that headband would keep falling off my head.

This was Mariannes everyday hairstyle,a simple bun,but her very curly hair makes it unique.

I'm going to a tea party/bridal shower and your supposed to dress in your tea party dress(I can't wait),so I decided to go in my regency dress and wear this hairstyle,I even have a matching headband.

I wish I had little hair to pull out in the front like that.

I noticed they pulled a section in the front to the side instead of straight back for this hairstyles.

What can you say about her hair,ummmm....'weird'.....

 I did not like the Dashwoods, brother's wifes hair.

It looks like they pulled the front back into a small bun and added a headband.

Wish I had a better veiw.

*sighs* I can't wait until my hair is this length.

This looks like the same hairstyle as the one above and the very first photo of this post,(except the other one is a zoom in.)

This is from a different version from the photos above,but I like Elinors hair in this photo.

They didn't have really any photos of her hair from the ball,but I did find this one.

I totally loved this Marianne from the 2008 version versus Kate Winslet-Marianne.

Which one is your favorite?

I think mine is the half bun with a headband. (first photo.)

P.s. I would love it is you would nominate my sisters blog for the "Best Teen Blog" by Clicking HERE....

1. Stroke your hair 100 times a day with brush

2.Do not wash your hair daily, you'll strip your hair of it's healthy oils and nutrients.

3. Don't rinse out all of you conditioner when washing your hair.

4. Drink lots of water to help keep your hair moisturized.

5.Healthy eating is a step to healthy hair.

6. Exercising/lots of activity is very healthy for your hair as well.

7. Alchol will dry out your hair,so don't use it.(this is true,but not forbidden for straight hair,like it is for curly and wavy hair.)

8. Dying your hair isn't something I suggest doing often maybe 2 years.

9. Don't dye your hair.(worse then using hair products with alcohol.)

10. Love your hair,don't try to change it,(coloring straightening,etc...) help your hair along and let it be as natural as possible. (straightening and curling is okay to do sometimes,I just don't want you straightening your hair all the time cause its curly and you don't like it.)

11. Straightening and curling your hair can damage your hair (heat will do that), so don't do it to often and when you do use heat protection spray,to help minimze possible damage.

12. Avoid putting hair products on your scalp.

13. Soak your hair in bottled water before swimming and wash your hair when done swimming(or at least rinse it)

14. Don't leave a blowdryer in one spot for more then a few seconds.

15. Trim your hair every 6-8 weeks to avoid getting split ends.

16. Shampoo your hair only when its dirty.

17. Don't brush your hair when its wet,or put to much tension on it. Can cause your hair to break wait until your hair is almost totally dry.

18. Shower with warm or cold water.

19. Leave the conditioner in your hair for a few moments before rinsing.

20. Try to use moisturising shampoos and conditioners for healthier and happier hair.

Curly hair tips.....

First off curly hair can be very frustrating if you don't know how to work with it. So I'm here to tell some of you curly haired girls who may already know,don't know, or know some of what I'll be sharing tipe for curly hair! :)

Oh,and you might see me repeat myself,so just ignore that. lol,I do that all the time.

1.   Never brush your hair....

         Seriously even when your hair is wet do not brush it. I will comb my fingers through my hair when I'm in the shower or when I'm applying hair gel,leave in conditioner..ect.. right after I get out of the shower.So brushing your hair is a no no.

    2.  What about frizz and moisture?

   

                  Let's start with frizz...some things that cause frizz does have to do with lack of moisture.

Okay,every girl wants to know how to get rid of frizz. You can't... but you can keep it somewhat under control.

 -Showers,Taking cold showers, this limits frizz,cause the warm or hot water makes any type of hair frizz.

- No shampoo....this causes my hair to get frizzy and puffy. But of course you have to shampoo sometime,so do it maybe once every 2-3 weeks, when you have nothing planned for that day just take a nice shower and use that shampoo to scrub your scalp clean.
(note I do know that Olivia over at Of Horsefeathers uses shampoo,but I would suggest if you must use high moisturizing shampoo.)

- No alcohol ingredient products...this includes hairspray, alcohol really dries your hair out,so make sure you check ALL products for alcohol before usage.

- Blow drying... this isn't a good idea unless you have a diffuser,cause your hair will probably go every where,get sperated, frizzy, etc.

- Water.... lol,yes water drink lots of it. Lots of water keeps your hair less prone to frizz and dry out. Oh,yeah, it's good for your skin and so much more,make sure you drink at least 8 cups a day.

3. What about after I get out of the shower?

         After getting out of the shower,do not get a towel and try to rub your hair with a towel (it will cause it to seperate and frizz.) instead let it air dry or if your in a rush blow dry with a diffuser only. But we before you start drying it,you need some moisture.

Now I've been recently using this brand called Garnier Fructis and I've liked it. The product I was using was  called 'curl sculpting' or something like that. I've been out of it actually and haven't been to a store,so I've been using like a very little amount of gel (gel makes your crunchy and nobody likes crunchy hair) and leave in conditioner has been working very well. Just make sure it is keeping your hair moist and not drying it out.

I usually buy my hair products from Walmart,cause we like never go to Sally's...just in case anybody was wondering.♥

-When applying your hair product,I will comb it with my fingers through my hair and then scrunch it. Before I apply my products I usually try to get the water out of my hair,so I'll grab it all and put it all in my hand,squeeze and move my hand all the way down to the bottom of my hair. You'll still have some water in you hair,but not as much as before.

Now for a book and site recommendation!

The BEST book ever is called : Curly Girl, I got it from the library, I'm sure you all could to,but it is sooo helpful.Thats where alot of my help came from.

Now website;

Got Curl? Has some great recipes and tips as well I highly recommend there site.

I want to copy and paste this list from their site (which I think if I remember right is from the curly girl book.)

The Basic Steps of Curly Care

1.Rinse: Step under the “waterfall” of your shower and rinse your curls well (but don’t touch them!) with warm water (hot water strips the natural oils that protect your hair). If the water pressure is high or your curls are especially fragile, use your fingers to shield your curls from the intensity of the water.


2.Cleanse: Using your fingertips and a bit of botanical conditioner or sulfate-free cleanser, gently rub your entire scalp with your finger tips (not your finger nails). Rinse well. (This step may not be necessary every day, especially after you’ve adjusted to the curly girl routine–some curly girls only cleanse once every week or so, and then with a brown sugar scrub.)


3.Condition: Gently but generously distribute botanical conditioner evenly through your curls. You’ll learn how much your hair needs, depending on the weather and climate. It should feel like wet seaweed. If you’re prone to frizz, make sure to apply an extra dose of conditioner to the canopy.


4.Rinse: If you’re a Wavy Girl, gently rinse your curls with cool water. Botticelli and Corkscrew Curly Girls should only rinse (if at all) by splashing a few handfuls of water on their hair to ensure proper hydration. (Using cool water helps seal the hair shaft.)


5.Scrunch: Use a paper towel, an old t-shirt, a microfiber towel, or Curl Cloth (never a terry cloth towel) to “scrunch-dry” your curls, gently scrunching towards your head.

6.Gel: Spread a generous amount of gel into your palms and scrunch the gel into your curls in an accordion motion towards your scalp. Repeat, if necessary, until all your curls have been scrunched. For curly girls prone to a halo of frizz, apply an extra layer of gel to the canopy (top) of your curls in a smooth, gentle motion. (I don't agree with this,just so you know,so your not like 'wait,I thought she said don't use alot of gel.)

7.Style: Use clips to arrange and style your curls, twisting any last curls into place. Then don’t touch your hair while it dries! (Use a diffuser on the coolest, lowest setting if you must speed the process. Or, crank up the heat in your car if you have a drive ahead of you.)


8.Release: Remove any clips, bend over, and gently shake your dried curls at the roots to give them more volume, if you like. (For more defined curls, skip this step.)


9.Celebrate: Enjoy your soft, springy, natural curls!

     Some things I don't agree with like lots of gel...uh,no! It's not bad,but makes your hair yuck....

But what did you think of this post?? Cause if alot of people like it I think I'm going to do a beauty post with just like tips for any type of hair straight or curly?!
