Marge came over today to assist me brainstorm Halloween costumes as well as meal about the world series (we both believe the Giants will win in 6).
I’m still not sure what I’m going to do/wear to the Monster Bash tomorrow night, however if worse pertains to worst, I might always wear some go-go boots with a mini-skirt as well as develop a huge Marge-inspired beehive.
Hva tenker du? This was my very first one ever, as well as it was a great deal much easier than I believed it would be.

Hair’s exactly how to get this obnoxiously high hairstyle (mine determined 8 inches from my crown to the idea of the hive, yikes!) in four simple steps.
What you’ll need:
A lightweight volumizing mousse like Got2B Fat-Tastic Hair Thickening Plumping Mousse
A hairdryer, the lighter the better, since you may be holding it for a while (I like the T3 Featherweight as well as Rusk W8LESS)
A comb or brush
A maximum hold hair spray like huge attractive Hair Spritz & Stay
A stocking, preferably one the exact same color as your hair
Something to fill the stocking with, like material batting, packing peanuts or air-filled packing cushions
HELLA bobby pins
Countdown to huge hair in 3…2…1!
1. Mousse as well as Squirrel
I started by spritzing some water into my hair to dampen it, as well as then worked Got2B Fat-Tastic Mousse thoroughly with from mid-shaft to the ends, scrunching with my hands to begin building up the volume. At this stage considering that my hair was only a bit damp, I enabled it to air dry while I did my makeup, however you might likewise utilize a dryer to accelerate the process.
2. I root for Volume!
For hair to stand on end, it needs MAJAH volume. starting at the base of my neck as well as working my method up toward the top of my head, I sprayed, dried, as well as teased my hair section by section. I’d take a little section as well as spritz the roots with hair spray, then pull the section up toward the ceiling while drying the roots with the hair dryer. after that I’d tease the section downward with a clean from mid-shaft to the roots for a lifted, ratty effect. By the end of this stage your hair must look like a cross between C.C. DeVille’s hair from Poison as well as Robert Smith’s from The Cure.
3. exactly how to develop a much better Beehive
Constructing the actual hive is simple if you develop it around a frame (like a papier mache egg). I utilized a dark brown stocking stuffed with a number of little air-filled packaging cushions.
I stuffed the stocking up until it looked about the ideal size for the length of my hair as well as connected a knot at the end. Then, I stood the stocking/egg on top of my head, protecting the knotted end to the hair with about a million bobby pins (okay, a lot more like 15).
NOTE: I went with packing pillows since they were lightweight, versatile as well as I had some around the house, however in retrospect packing peanuts may have been much easier to utilize since I came extremely close to popping them with the bobby pins a few times.
4. Time to wrap It Up
Starting at the sides with small, 1-inch sections of hair, I utilized pins to hold them in location while I sprayed each section with hair spray as well as strike dried (blew dried?). After the sides, I moved on to the back, completed with the front. When I got to the pieces that would comprise the outer surface of the hive, I very carefully smoothed the hair down with my fingers while I spritzed it with hair spray for a smooth, smooth shape.
At the end of construction…
The bit barrette’s like my flair. exactly how T.G.I. Fridays, ha!
NOTE: even if you utilize a ton of hair spray (I need to have utilized at least a quarter of my bottle), huge beehives may not be sturdy, so you may want to abstain from base jumping, headbanging or rolling in your 5.0 with your ragtop down (so your hair can blow).
