Neat, but youthful

If I've got a little time, I love trying new hairstyles on myself. Long hair provides lots of possibilities, so my hair is perfect to satisfy my creative needs. I try to heat my hair as little as possible, but I just bought a nourishing heat protection spray, so happily I'm able to use the curling- or flat iron more often. Unfortunately, my curling iron is very old and it doesn't work great anymore. So I need a better one. Then someone told me that a better alternative to create glamorous curls would be a flat iron. She's a hairdresser and she makes gorgeous curls with hers. I saw great flat irons here, and I was just wondering.. Do you think I'd do wise to buy one of those, or do you prefer a curling iron?

Then about my look of last Sunday. The hair is inspired by Gossip Girl's Serena. When I saw this hairstyle on her (season 3), I had to try it. I think it looks neat and classy, but playful at the same time. I did my best to create an outfit that's also characterized by these features. On the one hand I chose a sophisticated black blazer and my new Outfitters Nation pants, and on the other hand the snakeskin-printed pieces. I really like the balance between neat and youthful, and I hope you agree with me!

  16. Met een goede stijltang kun je prima krullen maken! Het is natuurlijk wel makkelijker met een krultang, maar als je investeert in een goede stijltang scheelt het geld en zowel krullen als stijl maken goed te doen.

  29. It isn't a thing I would wear on a daily basis, but I like it, especially the hairstyle.
    I've never tried to do curls with a flat iron, but a lot of people does and it looks the same.

  45. Heel leuk gedaan! Ik heb deze haarstijl ook al geprobeerd, en het is me goed gelukt. Mijn enige probleem is dat ik echt veel babyhaartjes heb op mijn haargrens. En ze zijn nog redelijk lang ook. Dus dat staat altijd zo raar als ik mijn haar naar achteren draag. Weet jij wat ik hier best kan tegen doen? Of is haarspray de beste oplossing?
