BORING!!!
There was no product in my hair at all, and her attempt with a curling iron to give it a bit of a wave just made it look messy. The whole thing was not that impressive. The makeup though was fantastic. She did a great job with that.
I went to the beauty store today and talked to the lady that worked there. I told her that my hair is NOTORIOUS for not holding a curl for more than a minute, and asked her what I could use. She suggested a specific holding spray, and a 3/4" barrel curling iron. I bought the spray and a pretty clip, and then went over to Target to find the curling iron for a cheaper price. I also bought a strong hold mousse.
I took a shower but made sure to use a small amount of cheap suave conditioner. That crap SUCKS, but it was perfect because it didn't weigh my hair down. I know you're supposed to not shower to make curls stay, but I HATE doing that. I had to shower the night before when I had my hair done for Michelle's wedding, and my hair felt dirty the entire day. Blech.
I then put tons of the mousse in and dried my hair with my fingers rather than a brush. I have to say, this messy drying technique gave my hair a lot more volume, and texture. I then heated up the curling iron and went section by section. I sprayed each section with the holding spray before curling, and it helped keep things nice and tight.
I then used the clip I found and voila!
With hair so short and resistant to curling, I really think this is the best I'm going to be able to do. I'll be one of the only bridesmaids without a complete updo, but whatever, I tried growing my hair out and it just didn't grow fast enough!
What have all of you been up to this weekend?

Was the girl who did your make-up supposed to be a professional when it comes to hair? That didn't look nice at all. I like what you did better. Doesn't your friend, Marni, do hair? I've read some of her blog. You should try Pantene Beautiful Lengths if you want your hair to grow faster. It worked for me.
No, she was by no means a professional at hair. Just makeup. Marni has done hair for some people, but she lives pretty far away from me. There is no way that would work. Oh well, at least I know I can do this one style on my own if I have to.
Oh that's too bad! Yours looks cute anyway. What does your dress look like?
Thank GOD you didn't let her do your hair!! LOL. It was HORRIBLE. You're right, I suck... I'm too far, I would have played with it and tried something, though I'm not FABulous or anything, I am okay and I give it a go...
I like what you did though. Impressive. :-)
