thought thirteen: hair

I've mentioned it before
             I have bird hair.

You know the kind of hair that is thin and straggly, a bit ugly and you can't really do anything with it.
Hair fashion at the moment is long, flowing, messy buns and braids. You can't do any of that with the hair that I have.

I was the kind of baby that was dressed in lovely 'girly' clothes with big pink bows on my head. You might think "ohh, that's cute" but really, the reason was because I had no hair till I was 3 years old! Can you believe it! I was one of those babies you couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl. I have early school photos and my hair is so thin it struggled to clip to the side.

So this is my hair dilemma.

But then came Pinterest.
It inspired the hair sock (see thought six)
And now I tried this up do:

1. Put your hair into a ponytail
2. Create a small gap between your pony and your head
3. Flip the hair through
4. Grab the rest of the hair and tuck it under
5. Pin the straggly bits and add a flower or other accessory.

Thank you Pinterest.

P.S. This is how mine turned out (I have short hair so it wasn't quite as impressive)
