Short Hair With The Big Styler- Styling Stef

I finally found a friend who would let me play around with her short hair! Everyone say thank you to Stef for letting me experiment on her 😀

Today we tried out using the VS Sassoon Big Styler. Stef really wants volume in her hair but her hair is so silky that even with teasing she doesn’t get the oomph she likes. So we gave it a try with mixed results!

We’ve got plenty of styles to try so if you have any requests let me know in the comments!

Short Hair With The Big Styler Instructions
Good morning!
Meet Stef, she has short hair and it totally awesome.
Today we’re trying out the VS Sassoon Big Hair Styler to see if it can give her the volume she loves.
First we used heat protector and sectioned the hair in half.
Take a small piece of hair and roll it around the brush.
Press the button to roll it up securely.
Sit for a few seconds then unroll.
Repeat until it’s the shape you want.
This tool heats and spins so it’s like using a blow dryer and a brush effort for uncoordinated people like me.
Continue working around the bottom layer of hair drying and curling it under.
For flicks, curl upwards.
Next, undo the top section and repeat the process.
To give more volume, hold the styler so the hair is straight up.
this will give lift at the roots.
I always pay special attention to the fringe because a styled fringe can make all the difference to the finished look.
After a quick brush through, that’s it!
Unfortunately Stef’s hair didn’t get much volume so we decided to get hardcore and sprayed through some volumiser.
Then we ran the styler through again.
The heat from the style sets the volumiser so make sure you get the styler close to the roots and pull the hair upwards.
That’s starting to look better!
It’s still very sleep because Stef has awesomely shiny and healthy hair but there’s definitely some good volume there!
Much more than when we started!
Special thanks to Stef for being my awesome model/victim for the day.
Don’t forget to check out Stef’s health and lifestyle blog Read Shop Cook.

I hope this was a useful video, please check out the bog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching!
Bye

Guitar Hero Modifications Controller Make Over V1 Tartan

Guitar Hero! James is obsessed with it, he’s only had the PS3 since Christmas so he’s catching up on all the games he’s missed in the last few years including looking like a tool playing Guitar Hero 😀

But our controllers were second hand and had ugly Metalica stickers from their previous owner. Meh.

James requested a remake and I was happy to oblige!

First I removed the face plate and laid it out on the fabric face down.VioletLeBeaux-tartan-guitar-hero-modification-09_14587I cut around it leaving a few cm around the edges.VioletLeBeaux-tartan-guitar-hero-modification-13_14591

Next went all round the edge and snipped it around the edges every few cm. This was so I could glue it flat around the curves.

One by one I folded the flaps over and hot glued them in place.

This is how it ended up, nice and clean!

I used the same technique to cut out the holes in the middle.

Done!

Lastly I used fabric glue to add little metal findings and bits and pieces to make it a bit more punk-rockish ^_^

So did James like it?

Apparently!

Tomorrow you’ll get to see what I did with mine 😀

Hair Tutorials For Short Hair, Vlogs and More! Round Up!

Weekly round up time and lots to be excited about actually!

Firstly I’ve finally got video tutorials for people with short hair 😀 The lovely Stef of Read Cook Shop volunteered to be my victim model.

So here’s the first one, I have several of them to upload and if you have any requests let me know!

Also, a while ago I made a diy hair donut/sausage thingy. I promised to show you all how to use it and here it is the first video!

Now on to the week’s V-Logs, hope you enjoy! We are so sleepy after this week I decided to take a few days this week to take it a little easier because I’m running out of steam a little bit. Tutorials posted as usual but I’ll be a bit slow with replies and emails. Worth it to keep my sanity though ^_^
