Pinterest is fast becoming my favourite place to go to for hair and makeup inspiration, the other day I stumbled on to this cute “Bouffant Side Pony” and inspired I was indeed! So out came the credit card and three days later my New Denman backcombing brush arrived!
* Bouffant Side Pony – Photo taken from Pinterest
After a marathon of YouTube tutorials I whipped out the hairspray and my new brush and gave this 60’s trend a bash. I have to admit the back looks a bit pants with all the messy clips and loose strands, but my first backcombing experience was somewhat successful, now I just need to practice on hiding my clips a bit better lol.
So here is what my attempt looked like along with my Makeup and my accessories of the day photos :)

I just found your blog while on pinterest!!! I love this style. I wish I had bangs people keep talking me out of them.
Is your hair purple? what color did you use?
Hiya thanks for stopping by :) My hair was an auburn/ brown shade, I think the filter on this photo gave it a purple tinge loll. Def go for a fringe if you can cope with the maintenance, it looks lovely but I was fed up of having to trim it every few weeks lol! :)
