I just recently chopped off all my hair, and then came across this tutorial: http://aspottedpony.com/for-moms/curly-hair-without-heat-video-how-to-put-a-sock-bun-in-your-hair/1663/<br /><br />It seems so simple! Wish I still had long hair to try it with. Of course, your hair is already naturally wavy, but if you google for "sock bun," it looks like most people actually just use the technique for the bun style itself, not the waviness it produces. Anyway, just thought I'd share, since I can't try it out myself!piccadilloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05321097011777306918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-48625347681450555872012-02-07T08:47:35.339-08:002012-02-07T08:47:35.339-08:00Aaw, thanks!

I don't dye my hair but a natural rinse would be fun to try sometime... although I'd have no idea how it would turn out, so a little risky!Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-75761772723719649172012-02-04T15:34:25.555-08:002012-02-04T15:34:25.555-08:00I am a big fan of curls and I really like your'...I am a big fan of curls and I really like your's - they are so natural and don't seem fizzy or tangling. My hair is really sleek and straight naturally and I always try to make them look a little wavy at least, but usually after two hours I still end up with completely straight hair. Fourtunately I have finally made peace with the fact that it's almost impossible for me to get nice curls in my hair and instead I have started to look for cool and easy hairdos, that may only need a little bit braiding, but look awesome. I even made a board on pinterest about everyday hairdos, you can check it out if you like: http://pinterest.com/aveli/everyday-hairdos/<br />Actually, I've always been a bit of a "hair freek" cause for me the hair is usually the main thing I notice about general apearence and I especially like long hair, so growing and keeping mine nice, is always an issue for me, but for some reson I hadn't thought of simple hairdos before and used to wear my hair just loose, braided or in a ponytail, but during the past few months I've rediscovered the world of hairdos entirely.Avelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621105290051852721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-298400791859285502012-02-04T14:46:15.095-08:002012-02-04T14:46:15.095-08:00I think it looks really pretty curly!

I...My hair is like yours only it curls into coils. If I leave it natural, it is a huge mop of springy curls. It's thick, course and gets larger when it's sticky outside. (I'm going to mexico on holiday next month, it won't be pretty) I wear it straightened mostly. IT takes forever to straighten but then I'm good for days. <br /><br />Your title had me thinking you were going to talk about natural hair dyes. I've been using only natural pigments on my hair for years and I get compliments all the time. I know you like less chemicals in your life too. To get my hair color which is a dark brown with auburn sheen, I use henna leaves and indigo leaves. It's super permanent and easy and good for your hair and beautiful. hennaforhair.com is a neat site to learn about it. ( I am not associated with them in any way) <br /><br />PS I use those spin pins all the time. I need the large ones and they really hold. :)Kim Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-7927396386741761222012-02-03T15:47:50.869-08:002012-02-03T15:47:50.869-08:00Hi!

Ugh.) And it refuses to hold a style!<br /><br />However, my sister, who has thick, long, curly hair, recently introduced me to these:<br />http://www.goody.com/#/grid/simple_styles/products/simple_styles_spin_pin<br /><br />They're like little corkscrews for your hair! They come in three packs and there are two sizes and a few different colours to match different hair. I got the small ones and my thick-haired sister has the big ones, and they work great for both of us! You just stick your hair in a bun (or a more elaborate knot) and twist them in. It holds WAY better than a million bobby pins ever could. I only need the three (not enough hair for more!) but with your length, you might need more.<br /><br />They're so easy, and you can quickly make a sleek and polished or messy look.Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702008461216189742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-51856127617272680842012-02-03T10:49:54.140-08:002012-02-03T10:49:54.140-08:00Hooray for you getting freebies, and thanks for sh...Hooray for you getting freebies, and thanks for sharing the peanut sauce recipe yesterday. :) <br />And thanks to YellowRose for her first link, these are all about the length of my hair. <br /><br />I like a bunch of the hairstyles on http://thebeautydepartment.com/ Not that I've done that many, but I keep thinking I should, especially when my hair gets a little longer.
