I am terrible at fixing hair. The last time I had to fix my hair beyond the daily 'do was when I was in college and attended the Air Force Academy ring dance. I flew out to Colorado with my J. Crew gown in tow and spent the next afternoon getting ready for the dance. I remember walking into the bathroom, closing the door, and then just standing there looking in the mirror. I was in such a panic! I remember thinking, get a grip! I can't go to this dance with my hair down and frizzy! After who knows how long, I finally started curling and pinning. My hair ended up fine, and we had a great night. Since then I've stuck to a simple hair routine, or have opted for others to fix my hair for special occasions. My new goal is to spice up my hair a little, and these photos are inspiring me. (Click on the link above each picture for the how-to.)
