My secret dream is to be a rock star.
But, alas, I can’t be a rock star. I can’t play any instruments and I sing like a Disney Princess. Maybe I could at least look like a rockstar? But no, I’m a socially awkward, bookish theatre dork with doe eyes, Orphan Annie hair and fat cheeks. Yesterday, I wore a re-purposed square dancing dress. A SQUARE DANCING DRESS. I am many things. But Courtney Love I am not. And I suppose that’s a good thing.
But if I can’t be a rock star or look like a rock star, I can at least feel like a rock star.
Because this bitch can rock a fauxhawk.
I went on the hunt for fauxhawk youtube tutorials last winter. They all featured beautiful, eyelinered, tattooed rocker-style babes teasing and spraying their hair into gorgeous fauxhawks. But damn it all, it just seemed so hard. My hair is loooong, and heavy, and hairspray is the devil and teasing my curls makes angels cry. I had almost given up, when I found this video.
She says it’s quick and easy, and she’s right. The three-pony-wrap-add-pins-smooth-sides scheme worked like a DREAM on my hair. And if your hair naturally has some texture to it, as mine does, you can skip the curling and teasing she does in the video. Just wrap and let your hair be its natural crazy self.
It’s Badass Lite, for those of us who are just too chicken too be badass all the time.
