Working with Navy

Thank you so much for the support, comments, and love you have sent my way over the past several months here on the blog! I have so enjoyed sharing my hair ideas and other “small things” (I had to do it) going on in my life with you and I have LOVED hearing from you! 

I’m excited to continue working on the blog and sharing inspiration. 

As a thank you, I’m giving away my favorite nail polish and my favorite base/top/strengthener.


The grey polish is called Chinchilly.


It’s the perfect subtle grey, with a hint of taupe. 



And of course, my favorite base/top/strengthener from Essie too. It’s hands down the best.


Here is how to enter:

1. Become a follower of my blog, and comment below telling me your favorite hairstyling technique that I shared over the past few months.
PLEASE leave your e-mail address so I can contact you if you win!

The winner will be chosen (and the giveaway will end) tomorrow morning at 8:00a EST via Random.org. 
Giveaway only valid for US residents.

Good luck!
*Essie has NO idea who I am. This is simply a gift from me to you.

The winner is:

I love your blog. I read it everyday and have taken notes(lol). I was in Target last night and saw one of the sweaters that you had on in one of your blogs and said something to my son about you having it on and he just laughed and said “Mom you are so funny about that blog”. LOL.

I love the Messy Ponytail because it is fast(and thats great for me cause I’m to lazy to get out of bed) and still looks very stylish.

I sure hope I get chosen as the winner because I have looked at every store we have around here fot the 3 way glaze. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Your blog has completely changed my life when it comes to hair! I have seriously considered making a trip to Raleigh just for a hair appointment with you! 🙂 Your simple tips like what products to use and to see the value of spending more time on my hair have been most helpful. My favorite style you have shared more recently is the braided bun! I have worn it twice and LOVE love it! I’d be so thrilled to win this give away… I’ve been looking for the 3 in 1 polish everywhere locally and can’t find it. Just haven’t ordered it yet.

After spending all night on your blog looking over the various hairstyles I think that is still my favorite. My hair is really thick and has a lot of weight to it so I am looking for a way to make the “bump” and make it stay all day. Thank you for sharing your blog with those of us that are trying to stay pretty on a budget!

I actually have two favorites. 1) The “how to curl your hair with a curling iron” tutorial. Now, I can actually curl my hair with that tool and end up looking like a pretty human being (as opposed to the frizzy, misshapen one from before). 2) The twisty bangs. I do this at least once or twice a week, and people actually think I have the talent to French-braid my bangs (instead of simply twisting them). I just smile and keep my mouth shut… lol.

Thanks for all the great hair tutorials!

Where have you been for the first 54 years of my life? I have never been able to wear a pony tail and have it look good. Your pony tail video has changed that—and at 54, it is about time! I love them now! (Sound like a 5 year old, don’t I??) Thank you–and Merry Christmas!

Hi Kate, I didn’t realize I was curling my hair ALL WRONG. I would start at the bottom of my hair strand and curl up.

I’ve learned so many things but learning how to properly curl with a curling iron has been my fav tip! ~ JG from VA

Good Afternoon! Because of your blog, you inspired me to cut my hair into a grown out BOB and also purchase the aquage. I recently cut 6 1/2 inches off my hair and thanks to your blog I wear many different hair styles. My favorite is the twisted bangs, when I cut my hair I also got my bags all cut off which is cute but they also get annoying hanging in the face.

Also, thanks to your blog…. I have joined Birchbox and have used many of your recipes!

This may seem stupid, but the curling with a flat iron trick has been my favorite! I have naturally curly hair that is unruly and never wants to curl the way I want it to, but I’ve always only tried with a curling iron. I use a flat iron almost every single day (read=BAD FOR HAIR, I know 🙁 ), so this trick made putting a little “bounce” in my hair a cinch!

Thanks!

I have found the “how to trim your own bangs” tutorial very helpful as well as the one about curling hair. Your website has made me actually do my hair rather than putting it up in a pony tail all the time.

Also, I have recently starting using Essie Nail Polish and LOVE IT! That color Gray is fantastic.

My favorite tutorial is “Curling with a Flat Iron.” It’s perfect for my wavy hair. Who knew my flat iron was so useful?

You’re hair tutorials are the best! Thank you!

my favorite hairstyle technique you have done is the chic updo. i actually wore my hair in that style last weekend for my fiance’s work christmas party. he works at a law firm in downtown seattle and so it was the fanciest most expensive work party i have ever been to!! it was cocktail attire, and so i wanted an updo without being overy stuffy. this updo was perfect! i spent a LONG time trying to do it, and ended up skipping the first part where you pull the top back, and just went straight to the flipping part. it still held perfectly and looked great.

your blog is wonderful! i recently signed up for birchbox too and am loving it!

I started following your blog a few weeks ago and I find myself checking back everyday for new stuff! I love ALL of your hair tutorials! I have been growing out a stacked bob which is the hardest cut in the world to grow out and I get bored with it so easily. That is until I ran across your blog. Thank you so much for ALL the different ways to style hair. I have been playing with my hair so much after seeing your tutorials and different styles and I forgot how fun it is having a little bit longer hair. My favorite video has been the “how to curl your hair with a curling iron”. I have always just curled my hair under but curling it away from the face with ends out is sooooo much prettier! Yesterday I wore it curled with twisted bangs and got numerous comments on it! I now want to curl my hair everyday! I can’t wait to try the aquage foam. I haven’t seen any in my salon but I am going to try and find it online. Thanks for all your tutorials and sharing with everyone how to have awesome hair. Keep up all the great posts…MERRY CHRISMAS! 🙂 [email protected]

My fav is the messy bun in the back with the braid. I’m in the process of growing my hair out and it’s in too many layers so I can’t duplicate the look exactly–but I have one of those little headbands from the drugstore that’s like a little hairpiece–so I use that as the braid part of the style–the bun conceals the elastic band at the back of the headband so it’s perfect!

Hi Kate! I love reading your blog (every day) and your amazing tutorials. I guess if I had to choose a favorite it would be the bouncy curled under look. I wear it almost every day and get so many compliments. Before reading your blog, I had long boring straight hair, but after taking your picture to my stylist I now loove my hair! Thanks for your blog!
Merry Christmas!

Love the blog. And I’m obsessed with polish (currently wearing Butter London Victoriana and Deborah Lippman Happy Birthday) – Essie Chincilly is one I’ve been trying to get my hands on but it’s always sold out everywhere, so I’d be psyched to win.

But the one’s I’ve been able to attempt and actually succeed were the “tucked away french braid”, half-up braids, and your messy ponytail/bun. Each of your ideas are on my list of “to-do’s” though that’s for sure! 🙂 Any way thanks for keeping up with such a cute blog I absolutely love it! HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Whoa, so many comments! Still praying for you girl.

Been following for a while via RSS feed.

Your hair tutorials have totally changed the way I do my hair. I never knew I could do so many things.

I’d say the basic messy bun. I’ve never been able to keep my hair all up and this is a perfect go to that can be dressy or casual.

Thank you Kate!

I really liked your how-to on applying root lifter. I have yet to find the Aquage brand you use, but I found another brand that works pretty good. I also like that you make video tutorials for all your hairstyles and tips. It makes it so much easier to learn!

My FAVORITE hairstyling tip you’ve offered over the past few months is the one regarding bobby pins. I have used bobby pins for so long, and never really noticed I wasn’t using them correctly. When I tell my friends, they’re all usually pretty surprised because for some reason, it always made sense to have the curvy side up. My e-mail: curti2bm (at) cmich (dot) edu

My favorite hairstyle you’ve posted is how to curl your hair with a straightener. I am normally clueless when it comes to styling my hair, and I was able to follow your tutorial and make my hair look fabulous!

Merry Christmas!

Kate,

First of all thanks for sharing all your inspiring ideas and tricks. I never would have thought you could do so much with a flat iron…I am loving these curls!

Merry Christmas. 🙂

I had my hairstylist cut off all of my long, long hair and into a style similar to yours because I loved it so much! I’ve worn the knotty knot every day this week because I love how easy it is, plus it goes from day to night very easily for the holiday season!

Came across your blog through Pinterest and love it. I even got 4″ cut off my hair to match your length and style so i can do all the fun style you do. My favorite is the Elegant Half Up.

I like the flat iron curls! They seem to hold better than curling iron curls.

My favorite recent hair tutorial is curling with the straight iron! Works great with my hair style/texture! I also like the french braided bangs tutorial. Do this for work often to keep my bangs out of my face all day.

hey there! I had been catching up on all of your tutorials today and found the knotty half up-do to be the most suited for the Christmas party I was going to tonight! I curled my hair like you showed in your first tutorial and knotted it somewhat like you showed.. and.. hello, compliments!! (pics via twitter very soon!) so many people commented on how fancy, yet simple, it was. thanks so much for the tips and ideas. I’ll be trying the knotty up-do for Sunday’s festivities! maybe by then I’ll have my nails painted 😉 ([email protected]) happy holidays!

My favorite technique you have shared is “letting your hair cool before you comb it out” I have battled the problem of my curls falling after I curl my hair with a curling iron. Finally the lightbulb turned on and after letting my whole head set, I had curls that lasted for 12 hours without any touch ups!

Thanks for all the techniques and tutorials!!

After seeing one of your videos, I bought a wide curling iron and now am able to curl my hair every day after blow drying my hair upside down for volume on top. I’m still working on some of the others.
