Your hair is pretty when worn open like this, it's got a style and it suits you. Is your DH's complain mainly because your pony tail? If its just a scrunch pony , then I can see it doesn't "go" with your otherwise sophisticated look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircare-and-hair-styling-need-advice-and-ideas-pls#post-779802 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 04:26:32 +0000 velvetychocolate 779802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want to have some fun and create new styles for your slightly long-ish hair, I'd recommend Goody brand "spin pins" and their U-pins as well. I'm terrible at doing my own hair and have found these hair accessories very useful and easy to use when trying to come up with something 'new-ish' that doesn't require me learning how to do complicated hair styles. </p> <p>Spin Pins:</p> <p><a href="http://www.goody.com/Products/Hair%20Accessories/Simple%20Styles%20Spin%20Pin" rel="nofollow">http://www.goody.com/Products/.....Spin%20Pin</a></p> <p>U-pin that I found works beautifully:</p> <p><a href="http://www.goody.com/Products/Hair%20Accessories/Simple%20Styles%20Modern%20Updo" rel="nofollow">http://www.goody.com/Products/.....ern%20Updo</a></p> <p>These things can be found in most grocery stores, pharmacies/drugstores and the like. Two of those 'spin pins' does the work of umpteen bobby pins, and makes short work of any up-do you might like to try. Same with those U-pin thingamabobs that I mentioned in the second link. </p> <p>I am not very good at doing my own hair, but these two gizmos help when I want to try something new, without a whole lot of work on my part. </p> <p>They're just $3 to about $5 or so, and come in colours that match your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircare-and-hair-styling-need-advice-and-ideas-pls#post-779735 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 02:23:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 779735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have a look online to see what haircuts you are drawn to - maybe take a few to your hairdresser &amp; ask them if the cuts would work with your hair &amp; face shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircare-and-hair-styling-need-advice-and-ideas-pls#post-779187 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 13:35:11 +0000 Kirti 779187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My closet is currently in a good place and while I do have a few needs for autumn winter, I'm happy with what I have. But a few days back my husband remarked that while my wardrobe is impeccable, maybe my hair needs to 'go' with my look. When I asked him to explain, he explained that while my hair is beautiful, maybe I shouldn't wear my same old ponytail with every outfit and change my hair according to my outfit once in a while?</p> <p>I really think what he said makes sense. I have wanted to establish a hairstyling routine as well, but I have no idea where to start. I have always worn my hair open (naturally air dried) or tied in a ponytail. I have never used any hair products or any gadgets like a straightener or curling iron or even a blow dryer on my own.</p> <p>I would love to learn a few simple updos, buns or fancy ponytails which would help me get my hair off the back of my neck and still look like I made an effort. Do you guys have any tips and tricks/your tutorials I can learn from? I would also love recommendations for a blow dryer. Oh and a straightening iron. I wouldn't use it daily, but for special outings with hubby! Any ideas on must have hair products to create simple hairstyles would also be appreciated.</p> <p>Here's a general idea about my hair type - I have naturally straight-ish hair that comes slightly below my shoulders. I wash it every other day since it tends to get greasy. Oh and it's black with reddish brown streaks! I'm adding some pictures so you can see it </p> <p>Thank you for helping! I really need it! </p>
