thought six: bird hair

Some of us are blessed with long, gorgeous, thick locks of beautiful hair while others of us (ie. me) have thin, or as a good friend of mine likes to call it "fine", baby hair

When I was living in Brussels I shared college accommodation with lots of beautiful girls. But one of my favourite moments was when an Italian friend of mine and I were coming out from the showers and she came out with this comment:

"Nic, when other girls come out of the shower they have nice, sexy hair. But when we come out, we just look like a bird."

And this pretty much sums up my hair. Bird hair. 

But the other day I was searching different blogs, as I like to do, and I stumbled across Liz Stanley. She came up with this great tip for thin "bird hair". 


I know this looks weird, but take an old sock and cut off the toe. 
Roll the sock up into a doughnut.
(Make sure it's clean and preferably a similar colour to your hair)


Put your hair up into a simple ponytail.
(Ignore how messy my hair is, sorry)


Place the doughnut around your ponytail. Then place the hair around it and place another hair tie on top.



It should start looking a little like this.
Take a little mirror and make sure that all the sock is covered with your hair. 
(There's nothing more embarrassing than "is that a sock in your hair?", "Ummmm...")


To spice it up, maybe you might like to add a ribbon or scarf.

Sorry, about the messy hair. But you get the idea!


Just taking a simple bun, adding a sock and making it look like you have loads more hair!
