Hair styling PSers! (Man I''m style-needy this week)

[Lauren8211]

FF and I are dressing up as John McCain and Sarah Palin for a Halloween party.

I''m trying to figure out how to do my hair, and I was going to go for the half-up, half-down look or just an up do. Palin manages to get that volume in her hair, so the up part looks kind of poofy. Mine doesn''t do that.

How do you get that? Is it a matter of teasing, or just how you place the clip? Do I need volume spray or something?

Other than getting my curly hair stick-straight, I''m inept at hair styling.

Yeah, it was the scariest thing we could think of.

Great. Now I''ve just alienated all of the hair-stylers that are supporting them.

There WILL be pics. Just as soon as I find that perfect red power suit!

Boreshair brush
Bobbypins

1. Seperate the part of your hair you want up from the part you want down. Clip the section you want down away from the section you want up.

2. Take a small slice of hair 1/2 inch approximately from the fringe line (bang) and clip it away from the other hair.

3. Starting in the crown of your hair (section you want up) taking 1/4 inch section, begin to backcomb the hair with your raittail comb working from the ends down to the root. Once you finish with a 1/4 section spray Backcomb In A Bottle at the root of the hair. Continue this until you reach the 1/2 inch seperated section.

4. Taking your boreshair brush, lightly backward...smoothing the backcomb without loosing volume. It''s okay if it still looks "messy".

5. Take the 1/2 inch seperated front section and brush it backwards into the style...spraying to make sure it is smooth. Caution: do not brush or blend to hard, you will loose the shape quickly. This 1/2 should hide the backcombing really well if done correctly.

6. For maxium hold, take the length of the top section in one hand and twist slightly into a quater of half french twist. Insert bobby pins going upwards and then secure by forcing them downward.

7. Unclip the bottom section of hair.

**that should achieve the look**
