One thing that gets tricky when I work all day and then heading straight from the office to high fashion events is my hair. I do not have hours and hours to get ready like some girls so my new go-to move is a polished pony or as I like to refer to it, a quick up-do. Up until the spring my favorite hair strategy for a weeknight event was to put my hair up for the day and then shake it out and go around 6pm. Except that is always unpredictable. There is a 50/50 chance the hair tie left a crimp in a very conspicuous spot and I look like a mess. And now, I have found a great solution.
Recently I have turned the tables and wear my hair down to work and then I put it up n a sleek and glossy up-do as I leave the office. I have gotten it down to 90 seconds – all I need is my fantastic tangle teaser brush, a hair tie, three bobby pins, and hairspray – then I am good to go! Thank you for Global Influence and TRESemme for sponsoring today’s post!
a swipe of lipstick and a statement necklace do the trick!
And somehow every time I say up-do I still giggle and think, “Own that pony tail, work that up-do”. If you do not get the reference you are in for a treat, watch the original MadTV Can I Get Your Number skit, you will not regret it!
Happy Friday!
