Bang Baby Bang

Last night - as you might know if you follow the Facebook page - I asked all of the lovely likers if I should cut my bangs. A couple of lovely ladies answered and encouraged me to do it, and I simply couldn't resist.
So here's some pictures of the new bangs - I like them a lot. I think it has a kind of 60's//70's vibe to it, and it's still so long so that if I don't curl it, it can be diveded to the sides. So I'm pretty happy I did it - hope you like it too!

An Easy Tip For An Easy HairDo

A lot of different stores such as Glitter (a Scandinavian jewellery and accessories store) and H&M sell Hair Donuts for almost no money.
A Hair Donut or a Hair Rat is a kind of ring made for making a bun in your hair. However, did you know that you can cut the donut up into a "sausage" and use it to do faux bangs and neck rolls? I did so today.

It's very simple, and here's how you do it:

First of all, make sure to buy the donut in a colour similar to your own hair colour. That way, if you can't quite cover all of the roll, then it won't stand out as much as if you bought it in for example black and you're a blond. Anyway, take the donut and a scissor... 

... and cut it in half so it becomes a roll.You should stretch it out a bit, and then you can sew the ends if it starts to unravel in the edges.

And then you just use it to style your hair. Today I made a neck roll, which is very simple and easy.
So that's it; easy peasy pie :)

The Bob Is Back

So last night, I took a long look in the mirror and just got so fed up with my hair. I would love love love to have long and luscious hair, but I really don't think it's in the cards for me - at least not right now. Last time I got my hair cut (by a hairdresser) was at the start of April, and then afterwards I've cut it a bit myself - but only the fringe. I get bored with my hair so often, and I'm really impulsive sometimes, so I often find myself with a scissor in hand and locks on the bathroom floor. Last night was one of those nights. I always cut my own fringe, cause I find that hairdressers never cut it the way I want them to. But I never never never cut the rest of my hair. I don't know; I just can't get it right. Anyway, as I said, last night I looked in the mirror and really didn't like what I saw. So I cut my hair - all of my hair. I took a chance and cut a lot of it. I felt a bit weird afterwards, but now I like it. Of course it's not a super clean cut, but as I always have big hair, you don't really see the not-so-straight lines. I also trimmed my fringe again. I always want to grow it out, but then it gets this weird length and just doesn't work. So now I have a little more personality to my hairstyle I think.
And luckily it still has a good length, so I can wear it up if I want to :)

Something New Today

Today I've been kinda bored - how could I not be, with that amazing evening I had yesterday? So between the occasional episode of Sex & The City, endless cups of coffee and a fair few cigarettes, I decided to go play a little with my hair. For so long now, I've been wanting to grow my hair out, and it's finally beginning to have some length to it. That means that there are dozens of ways to style it. And you know me; I'm a sucker for a good 'n old retro 'do'. So I found myself a bunch of bobby pins and tried out a hairstyle I'd seen on a vintage blog earlier today. I actually think it came out pretty good for a first try. It wasn't hard at all; all I needed was bobby pins, strong hairspray and some creativity.
What do you think? Is it a keeper?

DIY: Cut Your Bangs - The Bettie Page Way!

Evening dudes and dudettes :)
Once every few months, I get so fed up with my hair. Then I decide to do something about it myself.
Normally I have some ideas that I've been thinking about for a while, but I need courage to strike.
Which it did yesterday :) As you can see, I've cut my bangs. I chose to do it Bettie Page style.
Actually, back in November, I cut it like that too. But I was so embarrassed;
it turned out rather bad and super short - it didn't suit me at all.
But as I love to say: Never a failure, always a lesson :)
Anyway, ever since November, I've tried to grow my bangs out again.
I finally got it long enough that it, once again, looked pretty good.
But all the while, I've been eying pictures of Rockabilly girls with the Bettie Page bangs,
and I could never quite get it out of my head.
For the past few weeks I've Googled pictures to get inspired,
and yesterday evening I finally found the courage (and a scissor) and cut my bangs.
I'm so so sooo pleased with it; I really think it came out really good :)
This time I chose to cut it a little bit longer than last time, and wow, what a difference!

If you like the Bettie Page bangs, I really suggest you go try it out for yourself.
You can get a hairdresser to cut it for you - but in my experience, they never get it quite right.
Or you can cut it yourself. If you're afraid of cutting it too short, I suggest you start out cutting regular bangs.
If you want the kinda length I have, then your bangs should be right under your eyes.
That way, you still get a little length to it, when you've curled it with a straightening iron.
Or you can go shorter - it all depends on what you think looks best on you.
However, a crucial thing to remember when you're cutting Bettie Page bangs is,
that you should add a little length to it, if you want it to have a kind of curl inward.
You do that with a straightening iron ;)
Below is a picture you can get inspired by, if and when you cut your bangs :)

I hope you all are gonna have a nice evening cutting your bangs ;)

Godaften dudes og dudettes :)
Et par gange om året bliver jeg super træt af mit hår, og beslutter mig så for at gøre noget ved det.
Normalt har jeg lidt ideer som jeg har gået og tænkt på et stykke tid,
men jeg mangler lige modet til at gøre det. Well, i går kom det :)
Som I kan se har jeg klippet mit pandehår.
Jeg valgte at klippe Bettie Page pandehår, og faktisk har jeg allerede haft det sådan tilbage i november.
Men uha det var så pinligt; det endte ikke med at blive særlig godt, og det var alt for kort.
Det klædte mig slet slet slet ikke. Men men men, som jeg godt kan lide at sige:
Never a failure, always a lesson :)
Nåh, men siden november har jeg pænt gået og ventet på at mit pandehår igen voksede ud.
Og endelig fik det en nogenlunde længde og så pænt ud igen.
Men alt imens jeg har ventet på dét, har jeg stadig gået med drømmen om at kunne
rocke Bettie Page pandehåret, som jeg har set så mange flotte Rockabilly piger med.
De seneste par uger har jeg Googlet forskellige billeder af Bettie Page frisuren for at blive inspireret,
og i går aftes fandt jeg endelig modet (og en saks) frem, og klippede mit pandehår.
Jeg er så så sååå glad for det; jeg synes virkelig det er blevet pænt :)
Denne gang valgte jeg at lade det være lidt længere, og wow, hvilken en forskel det dog gør!

Hvis du godt kan lide Bettie Page pandehåret, kan jeg virkelig anbefale dig at få det lavet.
Du kan enten gå til en frisør og få det lavet - men min erfaring siger mig, at de aldrig får det helt rigtigt.
Eller du kan klippe det selv. Hvis du er bange for at klippe det for kort,
kan jeg anbefale at klippe almindeligt, vandret pandehår først.
Hvis du gerne vil have den længde jeg har nu, skal du klippe det sådan at det går til lige under øjnene.
På den måde får og bevarer du lidt længde på det, når du skal til at krølle det op med et glattejern.
Men du kan også klippe det kortere - det er helt op til dig selv, og hvad du synes passer bedst til dig.
Men det aller vigtigste når man klipper Bettie Page pandehår er, at du bevarer lidt længde i det,
hvis du gerne vil have det i en "fyldig bue" ud fra din pande. Det gør du til sidst med et glattejern :)
Ovenover kan du blive inspireret af hvordan du kan klippe dit pandehår,
hvis du gerne vil have det som Bettie Page :)

Jeg håber I alle får en dejlig aften med at klippe pandehår ;)
xoxo

I Got A New Haircut

Hey again guys :)
So I promised you a Hairstyle post, so here it is :)
As you've probably figured out by now, I got a haircut today :)
Nothing new, actually same old same old, haha :)
I really like this cut on me though; I can wear it as it's supposed to be worn; like a short Bob.
Or I can style i back a little so it looks shorter, and then it can look quite 60s Mod.
I love love love this haircut, and I've gotten my hair cut like this since December.
Although I would LOVE to have long and luscious hair, I really like this cut.
Last time I had long hair was when I was about 8, but then I got it cut short,
and I haven't been able to get it long ever since.
Don't get me wrong; my hair does grow - but it grows in fullness and not so much in length.
Even though there is the occasional day where I just hate my hair and everything about it,
but in general I'm very happy with it :)
About 10 months ago I finally managed to grow out the last of the colour I had left in it,
and so now it's my own colour - and I really like it :)
I hadn't seen my own hair colour for about 10 years,
so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it 'as a whole' haha :)
Anyway, as I said; same old same old - but I really like it :) How about you?
Do you think it's about time for me to get a different hairstyle? :)

I think that's it for me today.
Remember to come back tomorrow, and if you're bored,
then why not take a look at fat&fancy's Facebook page? :)
See you tomorrow, superstars ♥

Hej igen, alle sammen :)
Nåh, jeg lovede jer jo en Hairstyle post, så her er den :)
Som I nok har regnet ud, blev jeg klippet i dag :)
Ikke noget nyt; faktisk er det det samme som det har været i mange måneder nu :)
Jeg elsker denne frisure; jeg kan style den som det er meningen den skal styles - som en page.
Eller jeg kan style det lidt tilbage så det ser kortere ud, og bliver lidt mere 60er Mod.
Jeg elsker elsker elsker denne frisure,
og jeg har faktisk fået mit hår klippet sådan her siden engang i december.
Selvom jeg ville ELSKE at have langt og lækkert hår, er jeg nu stadig glad for det jeg har.
Sidste gang jeg havde langt hår, var da jeg var ca. 8 år,
og det er endnu ikke lykkedes mig at gro det ud igen.
Forstå mig ret; mit hår gror, men det gror i fylde og ikke så meget i længde.
Selvfølgelig er der dage hvor jeg bare hader mit hår og alt ved det,
men generelt er jeg ret glad for det :)
For ca. 10 måneder siden lykkedes det mig dog endelig
at gro det sidste røde hårfarve ud af mit hår, så nu er det min helt egen farve.
Jeg havde ikke set min egen hårfarve i 10 år, men jeg blev da glædeligt overrasket, haha :)
Nåh men altså, som sagt er det 'same old same old' - men jeg er nu glad for det :)

Jeg tror det var det jeg havde at fortælle jer for i dag.
Husk at komme tilbage i morgen, og hvis I keder jer,
hvorfor så ikke slå et smut forbi fat&fancy's Facebook side? :)
Vi ses i morgen, superstars ♥

Brand New Haircut

Ah, is there anything like a haircut? :) 

Today I got my hair cut. Nothing fancy or 'new' 

- actually it's almost the exact same hairstyle I got back in December. 

It was, however, nice to get it cut again. 

The problem with my hair is, that after only a couple of weeks,

 it gets totally thick and 'heavy' and super hard to manage. 

So for the past couple of weeks I've been having a bad hair day every day haha :) 

But now it's easier to sculpt and mod my hair as exactly as I want it :) 

My hairdresser cuts my hair perfectly, but he is sooo bad at styling it. 

He really makes me look like an old lady. 

So the first thing I did when I got home, was to style it 'my way'. 

It instantly got loads better, and I'm really happy with it :) 

Anyway, I just wanted to show you my 'new' haircut. 

So here it is :)

Have a nice night, everybody ♥

Ah, er der noget bedre end at blive klippet? :) 

I dag var jeg hos frisøren og blev klippet.

 Jeg fik dog ikke nogen 'ny' frisure eller noget 

- faktisk er det næsten præcist magen til den frisure jeg fik klippet i december. 

Men det er stadig dejligt at blive klippet. 

Problemet med mit hår er, at allerede et par uger efter det er blevet klippet, 

bliver det simpelthen så tykt og tungt, og bare slet ikke til at style.

 Så jeg har virkelig følt at jeg bare har haft dårlige hårdage de sidste par uger, haha :) 

Men nu er det lettere at sætte, og meget lettere at toupere, da det ikke er så tungt :) 

Min frisør er ret god til at klippe mit hår, men han er altså ringe til at style det. 

Han får mig virkelig til at ligne en gammel dame når han sætter mit hår! 

Så det første jeg gjorde da jeg kom hjem var, at løbe ud på badeværelset, 

tage huen af og tænde for glattejernet, finde min kam 

og toupere, toupere, toupere og glatte, glatte, glatte :) 

Nu sidder det på 'min måde' og jeg er altså rigtig glad for det :) 

Nåh men det var jo en masse snak; jeg ville sådan set bare vise jer et billede af håret, 

eftersom jeg jo lovede jer det i går :) 

Så her er det :)

God aften derude ♥

Mama's Got A Brand New Hairstyle

Today I went to a hairdresser in the little town near my parents vacation house in Sweden. 

I really needed a haircut, but I'm every hairdresser's nightmare, cause I have so many demands. 

My hair is, and has always been, my way of expressing my self, 

and therefore it must be absolutely perfect.

Well, for the past couple of days I've been Googling different hairstyles from the 50s and 60s,

and I finally found a cool Bob hairstyle that I wanted. 

Since my style varies from rockabilly to 50s to 60s and finally Swinging 60s, 

I needed a haircut that can be styled in a way, that fits all of the above. 

I love playing around with my hair; trying different ways of styling it, 

but I'm almost always unhappy when I walk out of the doors of the salon. 

As I said, I have a lot of demands, and even though I always 

 bring a picture of the hairstyle I want, it never turns out like I want it to. 

This also happened today! BUT it ain't bad :) 

When I got home from the salon, I tried to style 

the haircut in different ways, and now I really love it. 

It is actually very 50s and 60s, and I also think it will work out okay when I'm rockabilly. 

So I love it, but how about you? Tell me what you thing in a commentary :)

See you tomorrow, lovelies ♥

I dag gik jeg til frisøren i den lille by der ligger nær mine forældres hus i Sverige. 

Jeg trængte virkelig til at blive klippet, men jeg er enhver frisørs værste mareridt. 

Jeg har altid så mange krav. Mit hår er, og har altid været, min måde at vise hvem jeg er på, 

og derfor skal det også være absolut perfekt. 

Nåh men altså, de sidste par dage har jeg Googlet en masse billeder 

af frisurere fra 50'erne og 60'erne, og til sidst fandt jeg 

endelig en cool page som jeg godt kunne tænke mig. 

Siden min stil skifter meget mellem rockabilly, 50'er og 60'er, samt Swinging 60s, 

ville jeg gerne have en frisure der kunne passe til alle de førnævnte. 

Jeg elsker elsker elsker at 'lege' med mit hår og prøve at style det på forskellige måder, 

men jeg er stort set altid ulykkelig når jeg går ud af frisørens dør. 

Som jeg nævnte før, så har jeg en masse krav, og selvom jeg altid 

tager et billede med af frisuren jeg gerne vil have, bliver det alligevel aldrig sådan. 

Det var således også tilfældet i dag. MEN det er faktisk slet ikke så slemt alligevel :) 

Da jeg kom hjem fra frisøren prøvede jeg at style mit hår lidt forskelligt, 

og nu er jeg faktisk helt vild med det. 

Det er faktisk ret 50'er og 60'er agtigt, 

og jeg tror også det vil virke fint sammen med min rockabilly stil. 

Så jeg elsker det, men hvad med jer? Fortæl mig hvad I synes i en kommentar :) 

Vi ses i morgen, mine kære ♥
