Snood to the Rescue!
So you know how I love quick and effortless vintage style?
Well I would be lost without my snoods!
While sometimes the occassion calls for me to spend hours
setting and perfectly styling my hair, there are also times when that all goes
out the window thanks to things out of my control - faulty alarm clocks and
weather for instance!
Other than being able to do a ‘snood style’ on natural
unstyled hair - they can also be lifesavers for when things just go
wrong.
Here are 3 ways a snood can save you from having a bad hair
day when you have set your hair in a curl set:
Slept in and no time to brush out curl set?
Snood to the rescue!
We've all been there. Perhaps you hit the snooze button just
to get a few more minutes sleep to make up for your less than comfortable night
sleeping in a curl set, or the alarm glitched and you never set it in the
first place. Then realise you don't have the time to get ready AND brush out
your curl set!
Be inspired by the frizzy spirals of the 1940s and you don't
even have to finger brush those curls. Just scoop them up into a snood leaving
the front sections to roughly pin into a half poodle. Hair now done in 5
minutes - and you can basicly start with a day 1 curl set tomorrow? Yes
please!
Frizzy curl set no matter how much you brush it?
Snood to the rescue!
Sometimes it just happens. You end up with really frizzy
curls and you either don't have time to keep smoothing them down or want to
just give up and slick it all back into a pony tail. You can use this added
volume to your advantage with what I am calling a 'renaissance turned pinup'
snood style that is perfect for hot summer days (perhaps why you have the extra
frizz?). Scoop up the curls into a snood like normal and secure behind the ears
with bobby pins, then slide the top elastic of the snood down so it craddles
all that volume at the base of your hair, and pin any extra slack from the
bottom of the snood to create a volumous bubble. Try brushing your curls out
again tomorrow.
The weather ruined my hair!
Snood to the rescue!
Nothing can ruin your day more than having a perfectly
styled coiffure and then you go outside to find wind, rain and all sorts of
unagreeable weather. Adding a snood can not only save you from having a bad
hairday to match the bad weather, but it can also save your curl set to a point
that you may be able to rescue it again later that night or the next day.

OK, I did have a lot of fun filming these videos:
Will you be adding a snood to your emergency hair kit?
