hair styling
who’s that girl
guru
Some people bake cakes, some write poems. Abby Smith found her niche in playing
with her hair - and creating the most amazing styles with them. And she has also
released her first CD and is working on her second book...
How did your passion for hair styling appear?
Shortly after having my son I realized I needed
a hobby. I am a stay at home mom and if you’ve ever
had a baby you know that they sleep all the time!
I was stuck in a ponytail rut and decided I was going
to learn some new hairstyles. After watching a million
youtube videos and practicing all the different
braids on myself I decided to launch my 30 do’s in
30 days segment on my blog. I’m a self-taught stylist
and if I can do it - so can you.
It isn’t easy to make a complicated hairstyling
on your own head, is it? How do you manage
it without aching hands?
It really is all about practicing. There is a satisfaction
that comes when you finally achieve something that
was hard or that you couldn’t do before. Eventually
your arms won’t ache and you’ll get the hang of all
the braids. I like to keep a mirror in front and behind
me so that I can see what my fingers are doing, but
it’ll just all become a second nature to you if you
practice enough.
Where do you get ideas for a new hairstyling?
I’m inspired by celebrities and believe it or not, when
I take the kids to my husband’s school I love looking
at how the college girls are dressing up their hair.
Inspiration is in everything around you. A popular
style of mine is the Celtic knot inspired by a ??????)???????????????????
