How To Get Jennifer Lopez Hairstyle

How To Get Jennifer Lopez Hairstyle. Jennifer Lopez has been known to rock some exotic curls and trendy hairstyles and last month at the VMA's she took on a gorgeous braided ponytail. The braided look is definitely in this season and if you want to steal her look hair stylist Ken Paves shows us how.



I wanted to pull her hair back in the front for a clean, modern look with a bit of edge and texture. So, I did a modern yet retro take on the ponytail to go with her Louis Vuitton dress.

First, I pulled the hair together and secured it with a hooked elastic band before braiding it. I created a long braid down to the middle of her back, braiding the hair not totally air-dried to allow it to set. I braided it all the way to the bottom, smoothing my Ken Paves Healthy Hair Shine Serum ($30, ULTA) with the intention of partially unbraiding it. I hit it with my Ken Paves Professional Hair-Dryer ($100: ULTA) to dry and set it.

Just before she left, I added a Blax elastic 4 inches down from the top of the ponytail base to old the braid and then unbraided the rest of it for a great textured look.

This is an edgy, modern way to pulling hair tightly back –the braided pony base gives lift from the head and a sleek vibe combined with the explosion of texture in the pony! She loved it, and so did I.

Agyness Deyn Brunette and Blunt Bangs Hairstyle

Agyness Deyn Brunette and Blunt Bangs Hairstyle. Last week Agyness debuted a new look blunt bangs and a new darker hued haircolor. Agyness as a brunette? Is she really pulling this look off. I think even though bobs aren't really in this season the cut is cute even though it would have looked nicer with shorter bangs. The long bangs give her look a bit of an edgy though. Are you feeling the new haircolor on Ms. Deyn.

Twirly Skirt Tutorial

I know this is my hair blog, but I ran into a follower and one of my girls was wearing one of these skirts with a cute white sweater and a coordinating headband. She asked if I would share. Here you go!

Threeish years ago, we had to have outfits for a Pioneer parade and I had NOTHING for my girls to wear, so the night before I grabbed some calico I had sitting around and made your basic, gathered floor length skirt for each one of my girls and a basic white apron. It worked for the time and through some tweaking, it has evolved into a fun skirt my girls love to wear. We go to the fabric store and I hear "I would love THIS for a skirt, Mom!!!" Since I am a sucker for fun things for my kids to wear, I happily oblige.

And as a disclosure, I don't like sewing with patterns and I have no idea what I am doing at all. I just get an idea in my head and I start cutting and sewing. I couldn't tell you what a bias is to save my life. Don't judge, mmmkthx.



First I head to my favorite fabric store...side note, I just found the BEST fabric store by where we are currently living. They sell Moda AND Amy Butler! If they carried Heather Bailey, my life would be complete! Okay, back to the tut. I buy a yard of my base fabric, and then 12 inches of a coordinating fabric. Then I measure it on my girl. Usually it ends up being half a yard that I use. For the smaller kids I shorten that. Hence the problem of not using a pattern. Also make sure that you add on about 3 inches for the casing.

I then cut two lengths of fabric for the main body of the skirt from selvage to selvage.


And I repeat with the coordinating fabric. I cut it six inches.


Fold the coordinating pieces of fabric in half and press.



The place the raw side of the coordinating fabric to the right side of the body material.




Sew.
I use a straight stitch. If you had a serger... which I do but it is currently somewhere in two vast storage units whereabouts unknown...You would serge this part together and then straight stitch next to the serged edge. Instead, I have trimmed it with pinking sheers.




Unfold the two pieces and repeat with the other two pieces.


(I didn't actually trim this one with the sheers because it was late on Saturday and when you are thinking "Dang, my girls have nothing to wear to church tomorrow" and it's midnight, well, sometimes you forget things.)




Then press the fabrics flat.





Now, I take and put the two pieces together. The front and back if you will. Right sides together. Then I sew in just over an inch from the selvage. Start from the bottom to make sure your coordinating fabric joints match up.



Like so.


Then trim...or serge.



Now I measure around my daughters waist. I pull the elastic snug and then overlap by half an inch.



Then I make the casing. On the top of the skirt, I fold down the raw edge, depending on how close my fabric is on either side determines the first fold of the casing. That is why I go three inches, because I am not an accurate seamstress and I need to leave room for error. I make one fold and press it down, then I fold that first fold over and measure how much room I have for my elastic and press the second fold down. You can see the press marks in the above picture.






I have plenty of room for the elastic.


Next, I sew a straight stitch around the top of the casing. This step isn't necessary, however I have learned that it keeps the elastic from twisting and makes for a prettier top.



Then I sew the bottom half of the casing, leaving a two to three inch opening.



Like so.




Then take two safety pins and attach one end of the elastic to the fabric and attach the other safety pin to the other end of the elastic.




Then thread the elastic through the casing.








I pull my lead out and attach it to the other safety pin while I even out the fabric as much as I can before sewing it up.



I overlap my elastic by an inch and a half and sew a square around the edges and an X from corner to corner.



Then I pull the skirt and stuff that elastic up into the casing.



Pull the casing flat and sew. Remember to back stitch.



Spread the fabric evenly and VOILA! You have a super easy, fun skirt.
It only takes me 20-30 minutes to make one of these puppies and we have tons of them now. Hopefully these instructions make sense. Let me know if you have any questions!
With a couple of tweaks, you can do so many things with this skirt. I have done an overlay and and under skirt. I have made a plain edge without the coordinating fabric and just hemmed it. I have wanted to sew strips together and make a striped skirt with the coordinating fabric on the bottom, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. My friend thinks it would be darling to put belt loops on the casing and thread a ribbon through. I agree with her.

Next tutorial, the super easy headband.
