[Stylish Steps] Hair Axis!

Hi there!

When I first posted a link to my blog on Facebook, a friend of mine asked me to try a hairstyle she saw on YouTube. She said she thought it would look "super cute" on me.

Here are the results! Tell me what you think. I call it "The Messy Up-do Bun".

Instead of the elastic bands, I used a couple of Missoni for Target headbands. Will try the elastic bands later. Inspiration found on YouTube hair video link here.

My lovely hairstylist daughter helped me with some of the pinning of my hair, since I still have a ton of it, plus she just made it look even more awesome! Thanks, Babe :-)


Here's my original attempt of this style with no help from my daughter...maybe I should name this "The Messy I Have to Fix My Hair, but I'm Late to Work Bun"! It turned out fine for rushing to work in the morning, but I obviously LOVE how my daughter brought it up to the next level!


My Gorgeous Hairstylist Daughter. This is a photo she posted the other day after she chopped her hair off. Still beautiful and love the cut, of course, but I know I'm biased :-)
Hope you enjoyed the first "Stylish Steps" segment! Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.

See you later!

Cheryl

    1. Hi Laura! Thank you for being my first official follower! I just browsed your site and I love your style! I am obviously new to this whole world and would love to get any tips from you.

      Thank you for the kind words about my little baby blog. I know it needs some work, but I would have never started this blog if it had to be exactly the perfect version. So here I am, learning the ropes, but having a blast!

  3. I think the friend that suggested this look is so smart, talented, pretty, skinny oh and hilarious!!! HAHA

    I was right! The look is great on you!! Seriously, Cheryl. When I glanced at this on FB really quickly last night I thought, "Cool, she found another BLOG that did that same hairstyle. Cute picture, too, of a cute random chick" It wasn't until I sat down this morning and looked at your THIRD picture that I realized it was YOU!!! (why does everything I say sound like a backhanded compliment?!?! It's NOT meant to be! - but you know what I'm saying, right?)

    I actually like the head bands you have on better than Wendy's. Still loving your bangs, too. What a hottie you are!

    And how cute is your Megan???

    1. I really need a nickname for you, like my "Stylish BFF" or something!

      Oh and remember, we have the same brain and I always know exactly what you mean and what your intentions are, so thanks!

      And yes, Megan did a great job and she is a cutie :-)
