This hair is foolproof.
It can outlast gale force winds, sticky baby hands and family photo induced stress.
Plus it’s super sexy, silky and shiny.

Stop being so gorgeous! But don’t stop posting your tutorials! ha. I can’t even tell you how much I have learned from your blog! I seriously NEVER knew how to do my makeup and never wore eyeshadow until I found your blog & I am 30 years old. Sad, I know. Can’t wait to try this hair do out. Now, if only my hair looked like yours…;)
Bytheway, GORG ring! Congrats!
THank you Amber! I am sooo happy you are finding the fun in makeup, 30 is the new 20!
I love this hair!!! I am totally envious of girls who have this style and wanna ask them how they do it but now i know how!!
I am gonna do a trial run of this hair and your photography makeup tips for my upcoming family photo shoot. YAY!!!
YAY! I know, it’s the best hairstyle! GOod luck in your fam photos!
Did you mean fool proof instead of full proof either way works
I check your blog religiously!! & Often try your suggestions!
Keep the great tips coming!!!
haha I swear I must have fixed that the second you were writing it! My mom, sister and husband all at once were like “full proof”? haha Jokes on me I thought it was a phrase… Thanks girl!
Hi Cara! I’ve been following your blog for a while and love all your makeup and hair tips! I have super bad baby hairs around my temples and forehead near my part, do you have any tips for fixing that? Do you thread your hairline or are you just really lucky!? Keep the posts coming, love them! Xo
Nicole, have you always had the baby hairs or is this recent?
Beautiful!!! Just curious, how long does this take you to do? The video is almost 10 minutes, many parts are sped up, and we don’t see you curl all of it. I’m intimidated! Thank you so much for all your tips. I still am not brave enough to do bold lips or smokey eyes, but I’m getting lots of compliments that my skin looks good thanks to you!
Good question! I honestly think the vid makes it seem longer! from start to finish it took almost exactly 20 minutes, I have a ton of hair though, it’s fine so it doesn’t look it and pretty long. So it shouldn’t take most people that long probably more like 15. PS so happy for your skin, no need to rush to the bold stuff!
Thanks for the follow up! I think I might try this tomorrow for church. My hair is not quite as long as yours, but I also have TONS of super fine hair.
You are gorgeous! I’am in awe at how good of condition your hair is in with all the coloring! It’s stunning!
Thank you so much! Although, I only color the majority of my hair about once every 6 months with semi-permanent.
Can you please post the products you used, including the brand of curling iron. I’m in need of a new one. Thanks!
Hi Cara! I’ve been following your blog since the beginning, it’s looking great! I love the new look!
Do you mind sharing what kind of camera you use for all these beautiful shots? I’m looking for a camera to take pics of my new baby. I’m on the quest to be a pretty mom like yourself and not give in to the “frump” so thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so much Emilie! I use a Nikon D700, I love it and I got a really good price for it on Amazon:)
In love with this look! I just ordered a Hot Tools curling iron, would a 1 1/4″ work with this look as well?
it should work great! Good luck!
Yes! This is how I curl mine! And let it be known that curly haired girls can do this without blow-drying or flat-ironing prior too. I just slick mine back when wet, in a low pony and go to bed then wake up with the top half relatively straight and smooth, the heat from the curling iron smooths out the rest.
Thanks to you I’ve been on the healthy-hair bandwagon and trying to make mine grow, grow, grow! So I haven’t blown it dry or touched it with a flat iron in months.You’re a miracle worker, love!
Good to know! You are one that looks really pretty with long hair and short hair. So that sucks:)
Hi Cara. I love this! Can’t wait to try it sometime this week. Alright so this might be a silly question but as far as curling irons go is there a difference between the shiny barrel ones and the non shiny ceramic ones? Is one better than the other as far as curling goes? Thanks!
The one I have is this one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005CDSQ?ie=UTF8&force-full-site=1&ref_=aw_bottom_links
But I always see stylists and pros with the shiny barrel irons. So if they work better I would definetly want to buy one to help my curling skills! Thanks again for your thought
Cara,
Love the hair tutorial! I’m still growing mine out but it is definitely long enough to give this a try. Quick question though… where can I get a really good teasing comb. I’m not sure mine is the right one for the job!
What should I look for in a good teasing comb?
Thanks doll! You’re gorgeous!
Sooo how do I sleep on this hair and wake up with it still looking good? You’re stunning by the way!!
just discovered your blog on pinterest.. i’ve been on it for an hour now.. LOVE IT!!! quick question.. i have naturally curly hair.. but i love the wavy look.. so to get that, its going to require me to dry it straight, and then use the heat on top of already coarse hair.. do you recommend a product to protect my hair from the heat? i like to use redken protein about twice a week already.
thanks for any advice. i usually throw on some lip gloss and walk out the door.. mascara if i’m really trying. i always get the “natural look” compliments, or comments on my complexion… this blog has totally inspired me to go from the classic look, to something more out there and daring- which is so much more my personality!! thank you!!!
I’ve spend my entire afternoon watching your tutorials. I like wanna hang out with you now. Love your blog!
Just about to chop it all off before I saw this!!!!WHEW!!!!!!
Cara thank you so much for this video! If I want curly sexy hair I usually have to ask my friend Eric to do it for me. Today I tried this after watching your video and it looks amazing! I saw Eric this evening and he was so impressed with me. I can’t believe I did it myself. Thank you so much. Your tutorials are wonderful. I am getting so much hotter with your help, haha!
