45 MINUTES!!!!! FOURTY FIVE!!!!! step 1: wash it. step 2: DRY IT UPSIDE DOWN (this is the SECRET, nobody tells u this) step 3: tease. from underneath. section by section. this is where the time goes. this is the WAR. step 4: hairspray. more. MORE. u think ur done ur not done. step 5: straighten the top layer ONLY so it looks smooth on top and CHAOS underneath. thats the LOOK. step 6: bow. always a bow. the bow is not optional. my mom said "you look like a cartoon character" and i said GOOD. she doesnt GET IT. she had FEATHERED HAIR in 1983. she has NO high ground here. anyway i took like 60 pics and 2 were good. thats the ratio. thats always the ratio. nobody tells u that either. xoxo
