Making My Hair Look Gorgeous Everyday

I love experimenting with my hairstyle.  I have shoulder length hair and there are so many fun ways I can style it.  I have plenty of styling tools in my arsenal, from sprays to mousses to flat irons, but the one tool I use constantly is my one inch curling irons.  No matter how I have decided to wear my hair any give day, chances are my one inch curling iron will come into play.  It really is the ideal size to create any look.

One of my favorite things to do is curl my hair all over and then pin it back in a seemingly haphazard way.  I describe it as my “shabby chic” look because it looks like I had a fancy event the night before and just pinned back the remnants of my meticulously styled hair.  It is a version of bed head that is both sexy and a little upscale.  This picture of Jessica Alba perfectly illustrates the effect I go for.  See how she is at a casual event, with a white button down top? Like an everyday day at the office?  But her hair looks like she just threw it together as she was running out the door, but since it was styled the night before it looks effortlessly glamorous?  Yes!  That is how I inject a little glamor into my life, making my 9 to 5 seem a little more bearable – with my one inch curling iron.
