//// Summer hair
Posted on | July 18, 2010 | 11 Comments
So… …I did it… …please call the fashion police. Bought a crimping iron from local supermarket sale, cost me about 30 €. But I really think this look sort of works for my natural ash colored hair. I look more like something (friendly) that came out from the woods than eighties pop star (not that the latter would have been a bad option, either). Sorry about the flood of pictures, I just got bit too exited with Poladroid (that happens all the time I’m using it — can’t even think what will I do if I get my paws all over Hipstamatic…) — the exitement even overcomes the awkwardness of putting face pics to the blog. At least I’m not pouting…
I really am a lazy ass with my hair — I have been at hairdresser’s once in past few (3 – 5) years and stopped dyeing my hair about three years ago. I’m not a huge fan of the dyeing chemicals and the psoriasis in my scalp does not really encourage with experiments (actually it is now in pretty good control, but still). And I hate the feel of hair products in my hair, the worst hair for me is the kind of that does not even move because of all the stuff put into it. So I’m often just keeping my hair in loose bun, ponytail or something else really unimaginative with zero or minimal amount of styling products. I’m certainly aware that even some sort of defined look on my hair type needs a ton of product, so most of my hair experiments are limited to very special occasions, only.
But I do like fancy hairdos on other people, everything from shock colors to outrageous cuts and exotic treatments. This might be the closest I’m getting to that from my premises. The fluffy, ample texture of crimped hair does not really need any boost from chemicals — a simple heat protective spray might be good, but not totally necessary.

Oi kreppirauta – se oli hartain toiveeni 15-vuotiaana, vaan en sitä koskaan saanut. Ja nyt ei ole enää tukkaa tarpeeksi.
Mutta kylläpä näyttää hyvältä sulla, hienoja kuviakin!

very cute
similar preferences, i only use shampoo and conditioner.

You look so sweet, I am tempted to get a crimping iron too. Agreed, I prefer hair with no product.

Hahaha — minullahan oli kreppirauta justiinsa suunnilleen tuossa viidentoista vuoden herkässä iässä. Taisin myydä sen sitten kaksviitosena — tuntui mahdottomalta ajatukselta se, että joskus vielä tulisi tukkaa kreppailtua… …vähänpä sitä ennalta tietää!
Kuvat ovat ihan vaan Macin kameralla Photoboothista. Poladroidin kanssa on melkeinpä parempi, että lähtökuva ei ole mitään huippulaatua.
Thanks
— Lucinda, I’m pretty sure that your hair would look great when crimped!

these photos are so cute. you seriously look like a little girl. and i love your hair crimped, it’s perfect! i also have an addiction to photo apps. my all time favorites are camera bag and lo mob. hipstamatic i didn’t dig that much but maybe i just need to pay for some more lenses.
so loving this post gorgeous one. oh, and how perfect is your skin?! i don’t see one wrinkle… envious!

i will have to rent some of aki’s movies. i watched some trailers and they look great. i don’t know how i got it in my head that the movie was finnish. maybe i just wanted it to be? i failed geography. (=;

Kuvista voi onneksi valita aina ne parhaat

Haha, I do have wrinkles, nothing major but I do — thus I guess that I have to thank the low resolution of Photobooth images for their age-friendliness!

love that look on you. not sure i am that brave about my hair. looks great on you though.

Näyttää tosi hyvältä! Tulin lukemaan kesän postauksesi — siksi tällainen myöhäisherännäinen kommentti.
Sulle sopii tollainen pörhöinen look. Toivottavasti näemme sitä myös asukuvissa pian.
