DIY friday…..Sassy side-pomp

This Sassy side-pomp is uber-fashionable right now, from the glossy pages of Vogue, to runways all over the world. I’m loving this look. It’s vintage with a modern asymmetry, a little british sass, high fashion, but still simple and pretty.

You may want to watch this video first to perfect your twisting, rolling, and pinning.

You will begin by sectioning off the front side of the head, from a side part at the front hairline to behind the opposite ear, across the top of the head. This will be your smaller section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the rest of the hair in the back will be your bigger section. Twist the big section up the back of the head and pin it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now section out the bang area. Take your side section and roll it back and pin it over the top of your twist in the back.

Now take the rest of the hair at the front and top of the head. Give it a floof and a backcomb to add a bit ‘o volume, then roll it back and pin it flat on top of your roll so it creates one large pin curl.

I am way into crystals and black leather right now, in general. Summer on the west coast has me all into a weird boho1970′s witchy sorceress style. Long skirts, Gunne Sack dresses, big cuffs, black leather, crystals and bones, and long ratty hair.

Some things I like……

Cuffs and Crystal by Angi Dega at Moonflower

 

 

 

Hair, styling and leather breast piece at Sisters of the Black Moon, and photos by Angela Valenti.

I predict that this fall will find the sorceress style very hip in the middle land of America, where west coast trends creep towards sometimes at a snails pace.

When I return next week to the heartland, I’m gonna bring some Witch style with me.

So in the spirit of the Witches, I will start by continuing to grow my hair out and let it get as ratty as possible. Then I will pull out my Gunne Sack dresses, since I’ve weened my baby and can finally wear cute dresses again. I will adorn myself in black leather and crystals. And I will be brainstorming cool witch hair to share with you this fall.
