  1. What kind of product do you use in your hair? Do you use a volumizing mousse or anything when you blow it dry?

  4. Can I have your hair?
    Mine is taking too long to grow outtt.
    You make using a curling iron look so easy. I'm terrified of them.

    And PS - Boots is meowing back at Otis through the computer hahaha

  10. so excited about this!!!!! i can't wait for my hair to be a little bit longer so I can follow your video :)

  11. I love your hair!! I have similar length hair, this may sound like a dumb question, but I am assuming your sister cuts your hair; does she have any pointers on how she cuts it that I could pass on to my hair dresser; ex: layers, bangs? I would just go to her, but I live in Illinois!! :)

    1. My haircut is pretty simple, just some long layers and a natural face frame (thanks fo years of damage) and my bangs are finally growing out so that's why they're in a kind of awkward length stage!

  12. I enjoy reading your blogs!!! Question.. I have thin fine and super straight here. Just a little longer than shoulder length.. Do you know how I can get it to have curl or atleast some body?? I try to use products but because of the structure of my hair, products just make it look greasy. Any suggestions??

    1. Try blow drying your hair upside down (if you don't already) and try a volumizing shampoo!

      Delete

  13. I definitely need to practice your technique...you make it look super easy! Turned out gorgeous!

    Ps I was laughing out loud at Otis! :)

  16. This post was cracking me up. Love the curls. Love the cat's persistence in meowing. Love that you let your hairspray "cool" on each section, and I especially love that every time you tilted your head I tilted mine as well.

    1. Hahaha love that you caught the "cool" thing. I was too far into my video to even think about doing it again. I was going to warn you guys about that stupid little comment, but you exposed me! ; )

    2. We all have our little "quirky" things. I often catch myself blowing on cold cereal as if I've forgotten it's already cold. I did love the video, and curled my hair fantastically today.

  18. Love love love you girls! I agree on wanting to know more information on your hair cut!

  19. So pretty! I'm a new follower and didn't realize until I read your "about me" that I read your sister's blog too!

    ReplyDelete

  20. You. Are. Adorable! I'm sure you hear this all the time, but I read your sister's blog too, and I literally refer to you and your sis as "my BFFs Kate and Lauren that live in North Carolina." So sad, I know...but thanks for all the great blog posts!!! :)

  21. When you blow dry your hair, do you use a brush to pull it straight? How do you prevent it from becoming frizzy when you blow dry?

    ReplyDelete

    1. yes, i brush it while i'm blowdrying it a bit. my hair doesn't tend to get very frizzy though, it's not that texture. try brushing it! that may help maintain some of the frizz!

  22. So at 34, after years of trying to get my hair to look nice curled using hot rollers, foam rollers, plastic rollers and a curling iron, it took seeing you comb through each section before you curled to finally get my hair to look nice curled! I can't believe I was missing such a critical step. UGH!!! And thank you! :)

  23. thanks for posting! what does your tattoo say?

    ReplyDelete

  24. Found this today and I'm so glad I did! I've been reading your sisters blog for a few months, and yours for a few weeks now. I use many of your sisters tuts and get good results but the front of my hair is more like your and I could never get it looking right! Next time I curl my hair I will try doing the very front like you did with the flat iron. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

  26. What kind of a curling iron do you use? I have one from ages ago but am scared to use it!

  27. Hi Lauren. Love your blog and this tutorial! Every time I curl my hair, the curls get too short and not loose-looking like your's. Any advice? My hair is course and thick...
