Rainbow Hair, Don't Care!

Style Consulting Fun!!!

Before/After:


The Inspo:


Process:


First:
I gathered ALL the supplies:


And busted out the Bleach:


We needed a blank canvas.

There was a bit of semi permanent color that was applied a few months ago.

Her baby fine hair lifted super easy!

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

USING BLEACH ON HAIR & SCALP CAN BE TRICKY & REQUIRES EXPERIENCE TO ENSURE RESULTS & PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE HAIR & SKIN!!!

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR TRUSTED PROFESSIONAL!



Shampoo/conditioner/dry & trimmed to better read where each color would fall in context to the layers.

I prefer dry cutting when I'm studying the movement of a cut like this.

 Like Sculp-Chahhhh!

NOW

Ready for RAINBOW!!!


Zig zag-a-licious chunky partings using the direction her hair likes to move in.

In the back I angled down into a point, for the green to purple could be visible under the top layers of the cut.


OMGZZZZZZZZZ!!!!




RAPTURE!!!

Thank you Via, for giving me the opportunity to rock out some Rainbow!!!

Wo0t!

Make an appointment...

Make a change...

Make A RAINBOW!!!

Most important, MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO

Bitch, Make Your Own Wedding: The Invitations!


There are TONS of decisions to make when you're getting married...

If you've decided that loved ones will be joining in on your nuptuals...

You're gunna need some Invites!


This is the result of our DIY Micro Budget Wedding Invite Adventure....

And...

Here's were my "Hunt" began...


Found this stationary pack on sale, on-line at Hobby Lobby 4 pkgs $36 total...
*This design is not available now, but there are some that are close if you search the link*

We would have enough to Make 200 if we needed...


Plain Brown Paper Envelopes Included! Score!!!

Now to the INTERNETS!


I Googled "Free Wedding Invitations"...

I did shop around first to see how much it would cost to get them printed for us...

Micro Budge.... Anyhoo...



So I toyed around w/a few designs, printed a couple out, etc...

There were so many great options, why not! 

Your Wedding, Bitches! You are the BOSS! 

HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!!


Since our Theme was Rustic Bohemian....


And our Reception Venue had mounted Deer Heads....


PERFECT! Omg so easy! 


Filled out the lil spacey spaces w/all the wordy words!!!!

Printed 'em!


Played around w/cuts & boarders...



When we had our cut dementions, we bought a nifty cutty cutter at the Staples...
*link is to a similar model*

A total LIFE SAVER!!!

After raiding the Staples for Avery Labels...
*there are tons to choose from!*

Avery gives online template codes to help customize your addresses! SUPER SCORE!!!

We gathered a couple of loyal friends to help stick on all the stamps/labels!


And soon we were surrounded by RSVPs....


So much Love and Enthusiasm! YaY! 


And now, Happy Memories!

Our Micro Budget was Happy w/us...

And Everybody got an invite!

*if I ever finish de-cluttering our office...
*I will edit in our itemized end total...
*?$130-ish/120 invites?
*this Lingering Disorganization...
*is the only downside to DIY-ing your Wedding ;-)

So...

Make Your Plans...

Make Your way to Weddingchicks.com...

Make Your invitations....

Most Importantly...

MAKE SOMETHING!!!!

XOXO
