Radio killed the video star

Eight ways to shape your bangs vintage style

So I finally got round to making a hair tutorial.  It has proved to be a steep learning curve - after two failed attempts, I've come up with something I'm happy with - but there's one exception.  No audio.  Trying to find music I could legally use was a headache, and I'm not about to make your ears curdle by hacking at a piano or sawing at a guitar.  So... let me know what you think!



Also, my new hair colour and cut is courtesy of the extremely talented and ridiculously fun Rockalily team!

  8. Your new hair colour looks sensational! The vivid crimson looks amazing on you. I just love the depth of this hue and how it almost seems to add even more dimension to the resplendently wonderful hairstyles you do on your own locks.

    1. You are the most elegant, eloquent lady around! Thank you!

      My favourite part about not having black hair is that details show up more easily. That and I can wear black hats without people asking how my hair has moulded itself into a hat shape hahaha :)
