I can't stress enough how much I love to do fun hair, and if and when you give me freedom to play on a photo shoot, there is NO WAY IN HELL you're gonna get "Plain Jane." For this look, I curled and pinned Jennie's hair in a high messy updo, leaving a chunk of hair out on each side behind her ear. Using extensions to add to those chunks, I did a regular, simple three-strand braid on each side, and then proceeded to cross them over each other in the front, slightly on her forehead, to create almost like a headband or hat look. After everything was placed, I just used my fingertips to gently pull out pieces of hair to make a loose, soft, final look.

I think this look ended up being my favorite, and so easy to do! Hair is already curled. I placed two, sleek-to-the-head ponytails: one on the back/right side of her head, one on the top/left. split the pony tails and clip extension hair in the center/base of pony tails. Place curls and pin! Again, it's kind of hat-looking!

For this look, I kind of created a french twist on the very top of Jennie's head. Kind of random, but hey, I thought it'd be cool at the time. With the curls rolled into the inside, it gave it a cool different "twist" on the classic french twist. I also left some pieces out on her right side that I braided and pinned down for some extra detail.

"Oh she's wearing a hood for this look!" Yay, my dream as a hair dresser! Let's just do her makeup all fancy while we're at it and then throw some huge sunglasses on her face! Great idea! Anyway, did what I could do. Curled, down, big, tease, texture, hairspray. Woo hoo. At least the other three looks were fun to do and I was pretty satisfied thus far. ;-)
