30 Days of Nerdy Hair

Day 12 – Daenarys Targaryen Today’s inspiration comes from Daenerys Targaryen (aka Khaleesi) from Game of Thrones. First I went to a trim store and got a length of silver ribbon.

Day 11 – Dorothy Today’s inspiration is Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. A most beloved classic!! The key here is the french braid. Now I have no idea how to teach french braiding. And not for lack of trying. To be honest, for the longest time, the french braid eluded me. Until one night…

Day 10 – Black Swan Today’s inspiration is Natalie Portman in Black Swan. The key to this look is a classic ballerina bun and a killer feather headpiece. I created my own, but one could easily be bought for the craft challenged out there. I started with rhinestones and a string of pearl beads. Then…

Day 9 – Secretary Barbie Today’s inspiration is Secretary Barbie. And come on… you can admit it. You played with Barbie’s way past the appropriate age. Wait… That was just me? Ok that makes sense! Regardless, Barbie was one of my favorite toys growing up. Despite the argument against her (unrealistic body image portrayal, no…

Day 7 – Pretty Woman Today’s inspiration is Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Again, not seemingly a nerdy choice. But I am a total nerd for romantic comedies and this is rom-com at its best! The key to achieving the look of a hooker with a heart of gold is a curling iron and naturally…

Day 4 – Willie Scott Today’s inspiration is Kate Capshaw’s Willie Scott from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Arguably the least favorite of Indiana’s Jones ladies. And hey… agreed. It’s Marion Ravenwood all the way home. But the girl had kinda boring hair. And Elsa… well she was a Nazi, so let’s agree…

Day 3 – Niobe from The Matrix: Reloaded Today’s inspiration comes from Jada Pinkett Smith’s Niobe from The Matrix Reloaded. This is a moderate on the scale from easy to holy moley. And I’d like to say that this is by no means a tutorial blog or a ‘how-to’. More like a ‘how-I-did.’ I’m no…
