stripes on stripes

You ladies have been very sweet complimenting my hair recently... can't get anything past you guys!
My secret? I recently had my first blow out & it changed my life.
Ok, so maybe I am exaggerating a little bit, but seriously, I am a changed woman.
I am one of those people that you might hate... my hair holds style for dayssss & yet I am still too lazy to fix it, even one or two times a week.

After I realized that with a blow out I could easily rock flawless hair for three days, I knew that I had to figure out how to do it on my own without dishing out $50 a pop.

When Misikko.com reached out to me about testing their top selling hair dryer I figured this was the perfect time to teach myself the ways of the blow out once & for all. So this is my first attempt...
I think I went a little crazy on the teasing & got that Dynasty look, but I wore it like this for 3 days! (It still looked pretty awesome on the last day, I am just weird about going that long without washing my hair, so I caved)

The tricks of my trade?

The HANA Air hair dryer, a round brush, teasing comb, & dry shampoo (my current favorite is Klorane)

Have any of you tried an at home blow out? 
What are your tips? (I'm still learning, so dish!)
I am also joining forces with my SBS ladies again to show you 6 ways to rock a statement making necklace! Check these lovelies out:

  3. your hair does look awesome! I can't do the whole round brush blowout for the life of me, so I substitute by using a 2" curling iron. It gives your hair body and a slight wave and looks exactly like a blowout!

  4. Your hair looks gorgeous! Great job on doing it yourself. I struggle with doing my own blowout. Most of the time it gets ruined by the humidity, so I don't try!!

  12. I'm wearing that same necklace today but in mint! I am SO jealous that your hair can stay like that for days. I have to wash/style my hair daily or it looks gross.

  25. I love when you lovely bloggers wear patterns on patterns and pull them off so wonderfully! I absolutely LOVE how you paired stripes but kept both pieces in the same colors. It adds so much interest to your outfit without being over the top. Love, Love, Love!

  28. Love how full your hair looks! I just recently discovered dry shampoo & stopped washing my hair every day. I really like how the curls stays when i use a curling iron on my dirty hair days.

  29. Love this outfit - very preppy chic! I can't get enough of stripes, so doubling them up is an excellent idea. Also I was going to say how awesome your hair looks here even before I read what your post was about! I definitely have not mastered blow-drying my hair, it never ends up smooth and sleek like this. Any tips welcome :)

  30. Love your doubled up stripes! And I love that we both wore our pink baubles with stripes! So fun!

    On another note, I'm with you on the hair thing...I really try to make my blowouts last as long as possible but am a little weird about going too long. I've seen blog posts on going 2 weeks between blowouts?! So cray!

  33. You totally rock the stripes on stripes. I feel like navy and white striped outfits are the best kind...but then again, I could just be feeling 'Merican because of the holidays. Oh well, love it regardless!

    Have a great day!
