Chic Updo

I am on a quest to grow my hair out and in order for it to be healthy, I have to wash it less. I used to wash my hair with shampoo daily, not knowing that I was weakening my hair. I am now trying to find hairstyles for the second or third day of unwashed. I have finally found a new simple updo!

By simple, I mean it. There is no way that could take any longer than fifteen minutes to my hair in the morning; my commute starts at 5:30 AM. If you are curious as to what inspired this updo, check out the video below. It is from The Small Things Blog! This is the only place I go to find fast, simple, classic hairstyles that are good for work and play.
 
Being Latina is complicated when you are trying to grow your hair out like Rapunzel after a botched dye job!

The Lauren Conrad Bun

I love buns. My affinity toward them started when I began taking ballet lessons as a pre-schooler and I have worn them ever since, until I met Jorge, my husband. When Jorge and I first started dating up until now, I have repeatedly heard him say that he hates buns. His remarks made me not want to wear them anymore. Why wear a bun if my husband thinks they are ugly?

Lately, I have seen girls sporting buns at the mall, in the grocery store and even on television (Kim Kardashian). I cannot get away from them, so I finally hit a breaking point. I was looking on Lauren Conrad's website and I saw her wearing her signature bun. I told myself, "You have got to go back to wearing buns again, Jorge will love you either way."

Re-united and it feels so good...

Top your bun off with a headband for a polished look!

That very day, I put my hair up in a bun! And guess what? Jorge loved it. I was so furious, I told him, "Why did you say that you didn't like buns then?" Jorge responded, "Well, I don't like other buns, but I like this style." All I kept thinking was "Aye, I should have never listened to him about hair stuff after the last fiasco he got me into." (He took me to his barber to dye my hair and it ended up burned!...but that is another story for a later time. I'm not quite over it yet.)

Being Latina is complicated when your husband has no clue about hair.
