Let’s be serious, this summer’s humidity has made poker straight hair a futile effort.  I tried this past week- left the house with hair that was sleek and sexy, twenty minutes later it was just crazy and kinky.  (Thank goodness for a quick fishtail braid).  Needless to say, this calls for an alternate hairstyle and unfussy curls are just the ticket.  Long gone are the days of pageant curls and Shirley Temple ringlets.  The modern take on curls is no fuss, no muss.  In this week’s episode, I’ll show you how to achieve the look with three straightforward methods (pun intended).

Editor’s note:  Yes, I’m an a-hole who kept referring to the Sultra Bombshell as the “Sulta” Bombshell.  Blame it on the humidity. xx

1. Elle Bobby Pins, $4.87, 2. Oribe Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray, $35, 3. Sultra Bombshell, $130, 4. Ultra CHI Dazzling Kaleidoscope Flat Iron, $99.95, 5. Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anti-Humidity Hairspray, $4.49

And next week?

Sure, we’ve covered the very trendy fishtail braid, but how about getting back to basics?  Remember your go-to hairstyle circa 5th grade?  The French braid?  While at that time your mom was probably kind (and patient) enough to weave your virginal locks into a beautiful braid, did you ever master the style yourself?  In case you haven’t, today’s tutorial will have you braiding like a pro in no time.  Once you’ve mastered the basic style, try switching things up with a braid at your crown or slinking one down sideways.

Mais oui!

And as for next week?

à plus tard!

You might have felt a deep emptiness in your soul for the past few weeks.  You probably couldn’t put your finger on what exactly that hollow feeling was.  Well, it was the absence of How To Tuesdays.  Last episode, I asked you all to put your suggestions for the next video in the comment section.  I did not receive one suggestion.  Thanks, guys.  So, this week what I’ve done is gone ahead and taken the liberty of answering all of your deepest burning questions.  From how to prevent a nip slip to whether or not Lea Michele wears fake fur… here are your answers.  Watch and VOTE below:

I think I made it pretty clear last week that I have no problem with letting my locks marinate in their own natural juices.  This might have left you wondering how I go about doing so without having the health department called on me.  As a matter of fact, I know this left you wondering since you overwhelmingly voted for a “How To” on disguising your dirty hair in the morning.  Luckily, I have several tricks up my sleeve when it comes to an early morning hair crisis.  Whether you slept in late or woke up on the wrong side (of someone else’s) bed, this week’s video will be sure to alleviate any beauty humiliation before noon.

By the way, products used in the video are Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo and Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray.

HEY! Let’s try something new this week.  You guys leave your video suggestions in the “comments” section.  It gets hard trying to get guess what you pretty young things may want to learn how to “How To.”  I’m many things to many people, but a mind reader is not one of them.  Once I’ve compiled a sampling, we’ll vote.  Deal?  Deal.

I can help you do a lot of things… one of which is make stuff.  However, there are a few things that I can not do – like materialize the perfect boyfriend (does that even exist?).  So, until I get my masters degree in wizardry, you’re just going to have to settle for making the perfect boyfriend t-shirt (sans boyfriend).  And isn’t that better anyway?

So here’s all you need to get that comfy, lived  in t-shirt look/feel:

• t-shirt
• scissors
• salt (1 cup)
• sandpaper
• a large pot
• water
• stove

Now, remember that the more you wash your t-shirt (with fabric softener), the softer and more worn it will become.  Like all good relationships, it takes time.  This is merely a method to jumpstart the process:

Perhaps your sexy new boyfriend tee will atrract your next boyfriend?  Meh.  So what wizadry shall we partake in next week?
