Hair Scrunchies! Handmade! Crocheted!

Yesterday I added some handmade hair scrunchies for order on my facebook page. I haven't added them to my Etsy Shoppe but they can still be ordered and purchased from my facebook page. I crocheted them with soft yarn in bright vibrant colors. I used super stretchy elastic unlike the ones in the stores. 

And here is one close up:

I can make them in in solid colors too without the white trim,  or I can make them all white. If you are interested in ordering please contact me at: trinkedoutbycarla@gmail.com with how many you would like, in what colors and your paypal address. Please give me a day or so to make them ... depending on how many you buy. No matter how many it'll still be only $4 shipping/handling.

Blonde to Burgundy - Update

Wow, It's been so long since I updated. I'm very sorry for that. Life happened. Long story short -- We moved ... from California to Ohio. It took me a few months to settle in. But now I am back n noticed I never updated on the blonde to burgundy post... So here it is :P

While still in California I asked a good friend of mine to dye my hair (whom I so miss dearly) ... I had no idea how to do it since I never had it done before. After it was done it turned out to be a pretty peachy pink color.

But sadly it didn't stay :( It washed out pretty quick

I was so upset that it didn't last ... I asked around to see what others used to dye theirs ... So I picked the most talked about and dyed it again ... And it turned out so so dark but I loved the color too!

 

It faded so bad bad ... and I was forever touching up the roots. I never knew how fast my hair grew! 

After a month or so I decided to cut my hair to my shoulders. Honestly I hated it!! I will NEVER cut my hair short again :( Anyways so I decided to dye it again after deciding I wouldn't .. 

 

Y U K !

My hair is growing out some n I haven't dyed it since. It's just too much up keep ... I was touching it up every other week. So sad ... I loved LOVEDDDDDD my burgundy hair. 

This is me now

 

And this was me with blonde hair ... I kinda miss it

 

P.S. My daughter had to dye hers too ....

 

 

She got her hair cut short too ...

 

Now hers has grown out a bit too

PS I made that headband ... But that's another blog post LOL

And here was her hair before we dyed it ....

 

I miss her blonde hair tons :(

Blonde to Burgundy!

This evening a friend will be dying my hair. I'm a lil scared as I have never had my hair dyed before. So this is a HUGE thing for me ... I'm blonde now and will be dying it burgundy. I hope it will look ok and I hope I'll like it! I'll post a picture of it within a few days .. only if I like it though .. LOL ;)

Sock Curls

Last night my daughter and I was talking about during her hair for her Birthday which is also picture day at her school. She wants me to braid her hair in 4 or 5 big braids and then go over it with a flat iron. I seen this on Pinterest and wow .. it was so pretty! Since she was going to take a shower, I couldn't because her hair would be wet. I asked if she wanted me to try to sock roll her hair. Which I never did/tried before,  but I watched a video on you tube (see below). So I did and I thought I would try it too on my hair lol I rolled her hair with two pairs of socks just like the video below but her hair was wet ... And then I rolled mine with 5 socks but my hair was dry and I sprayed it like they did in the video. I rolled mine in a spirl motion (vertical) and switched between rolling towards my face and away from my face. My daughters hair turned out really pretty ... but it was still wet, not damp but wet. But it was still pretty. It gave her huge waves in her hair. Mine on one side fell out while I was sleeping lol and the other side was so curly .. So it's in a ponytail looking like .. well .. you know :O| lol Mind was really hard to roll because my hair is in layers. I think it would be best to do it on damp hair, not totally wet like my daughters was and not just misted like mine was. So I am going to try it like that next time!

Chalk Streak Highlights

I've seen girls with pretty colorful streaks in their hair and ran across a video a few weeks ago and figured thats how they are doing it! I never tried this but I do want to! I think it's a really cute idea....and it's temporary, which is great and it's harmless to your hair. If I ever try it I'll post a pic to show yas. I have blonde hair so it should be bolder/brighter on me ... I hope ;)



I recommend sweeping the chalk in a downwards motion, not back and forth like they did in this video. Also make sure the chalk you use isn't oil based. You can do the ends like they did .. or just a few streaks on the one side of your head or maybe just a few streaks in your bangs/fringe. You can try 3 different colored strps and then braid them ... Just be creative :)
