30 Days of Nerdy Hair-Nerdvember

Day 14: Lady Mary Crawley from Downton Abbey I know what you’re thinking… another Downton hairstyle? But just as the characters are so different and varied, so are the hairstyles. Today I chose Lady Mary Crawley. This is a case of ‘inspired by’ rather than ‘replica of.’

Day 13: Vanessa Kensington from Austin Powers This chicks hair is (apologies for cheeziness) ‘Groovy, baby!’ (You know you liked it!) You need flipped out ends and an Elizabeth Hurley attitude circa 1997. (Anyone else feel super old to hear that Austin Powers came out 16 yrs ago.) If you have a golden gun, that…

Day 10: Bonnie Parker from Bonnie and Clyde One of the baddest asses of her time. Bonnie Parker is one of my favorite gansters. (Not to make light of the horrible things she and Clyde did.) Played by Faye Dunaway in the film. You need a hat. And straight hair to pull this on off.

Day 8: Joan Harris from Mad Men Today I chose Christina Hendrick’s character on Mad Men. The 50’s and 60’s were all about back combing and height in a hair do. To acheive the kind of height needed I turned to Big Sexy Hair’s back comb in a bottle. Now I just need a condescending…
