1960s Hair Tutorial. Hi, It’s Jessie from Sweet Thing back to show you how to get one of my favorite ’60s hairdos that’s still modern enough for everyday. I wear it because it’s chic, slightly retro and, most of all easy. It’s also the perfect solution if you don’t have time to wash your hair since it works even better on next day hair. I hope you’ll give this one a try! 1. Start out by sectioning off the top of your hair and clipping it to the top of your head, out of the way. I have bangs which is an easy marker of where to begin, but if you don’t have them, start just before the middle of your head. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. ** For a fun J. Clara Alonso Blog » Do it yourself: De funda de gafas a bolso de fiesta!! Hola chic@s!! ¿ que tal ha ido la semana ?

Sweet Thing: HOW TO. TURBAN {TWO WAYS} The turban has been my go-to for lazy days, when you just can't be bothered to spend a lot of time on your hair. It's a fun alternative to a hat, it's super easy to do and adds a little bit of polish to any look. I have had a few people ask me how I tie my turban so I made a little tutorial. Turban with hair up... 1. Start out by folding your scarf into a triangle. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Turban with hair down... 1. 2. 3. Wearing: vintage necklace urban outfitters head scarf. How To: The High Bun. It’s Jessie here, Glitter Guide design contributor and blogger at Sweet Thing! I am thrilled to start a new column sharing some fun hair and makeup tutorials. The high bun is truly one of the easiest hairstyles to do and has been my go-to for days when I just can’t be bothered to wash my hair or when I’m in a hurry. Effortless hair has never been so effortless. I love the way it looks on it’s own or even with a scarf tied around. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Voilà! Photo: Vanessa Jackman. 1940s Hair Tutorial. Hello again, it’s Jessie from Sweet Thing! 40s hairstyles have been all over the fall runways and filling the pages of magazines, so I thought I would share an easy updated version of the 1940′s classic–the victory roll.
I have bangs which makes this style a little tricky. I decided to do a side part and comb my bangs to one side, but this style can easily be done with a middle part if you prefer. 1. Start by wrapping your hair around a 1.5 inch curling iron, holding the ends of your hair out of the iron. I like to curl larger sections of hair to get a more wavy Veronica Lake type look.
Continue around your head until all of your hair is wavy. 2. It’s as easy as that!

Is there a more versatile and inexpensive DIY component than a hex nut from the hardware store? You can imagine our excitement when we first discovered Philip Crangi’s Giles & Brother Hex Collection. Honestly, nuts braided into jewelry is WTF genius! With a few items that we always seem to have lying around, we tackled the technique and made our own spine-like braided hex nut wrap bracelet. You’ll need:3 strands of cotton butcher’s twine cut into one yard pieces18 small brass hex nutsa bit of dexterity! Gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about 2 inches of slack. Start braiding.
Keep your thumb at the base of the braid, holding the nut in its place. Repeat the steps, by threading the rest of the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over. The bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times. Good luck!! (top image from here, rest of images by Honestly…WTF)
