So lately I’ve been all about #thatscrunchielife, since it only takes about 10 seconds to either corral my mane into a low side pony…

…or put it up into this haphazard ponytail/bun number I lovingly phone call my “crazy feline woman hair.”

I have come to the realization, however, that as appealing as it is, lady cannot online on scrunchies alone. Eventually, we have to leave the house, as well as when we’re available in the big, poor world, it truly does assist to look like a accountable citizen. It makes strangers less likely to run away when you state things like, “I’m searching for a velvet king or princess costume for my 20-pound cat.”

In that vein, as well as to broaden my hair style horizons, I’ve started utilizing the $5 Mia charm Bun Ease.

Mia charm Bun Ease, $5
I grabbed it mainly since of the directions on the box, which make utilizing it noise so simple (“Just tuck as well as roll!”). The six-piece set includes whatever you requirement to whip up a big four-inch diameter bun — one bun-holder thingy, a ponytail elastic as well as four big bobby pins — so you don’t have to purchase anything else.

The instructions…
Before utilizing it, my major concerns were 1) that it would provide me a headache, 2) that it wouldn’t stay in place, as well as 3) that it would be a chore to use, however because it was only $5 ($6 at Target), I figured that I wasn’t running the risk of as well much if it didn’t work out.

I’ve been using it quite much all week long, as well as I’m pleased to report that it’s great! It stays in all day, doesn’t make my head hurt, as well as it’s a cinch to use.

With it I can knock out a casually untidy bun in one or two minutes. I’ll just gather my hair into a ponytail, slip it into the bun contraption, spread the ends of my hair over the edge, as well as roll the bun down. then I protected it with the four bobby pins that include the kit.

If I spend a bit much more time I can make the bun look neater as well as much more breakfast at Tiffany’s, however I type of choose the somewhat disheveled look… I assumption it talks to the part of my spirit that embraces chaos!

But here’s the deal: While I like the bun to look a bit “undone,” I can’t pull off very untidy like some women can, so I still like the general hairstyle to look somewhat polished; otherwise, I look like one of the wildlings from game of Thrones…

What I’ll do is slick down the sides as well as back of my head with a firm hold hairspray, then comb down the fly-away hairs with a rigid brush. That method I get a good contrast between the smooth sides as well as the haphazard bun.

I’ve been utilizing this new Kerastase Lacque Noire ($37), a firm hold hairspray that keeps whatever in location however still leaves my hair feeling soft.
