I live in a semi small college town .. well as far as my town size goes, it's the like the second or third biggest town in my state (not saying much when you're from Montana! lol) .. but that's besides the point. I live in a college town, and we love our football team!! The year I moved here (2001), that fall we went to and won the Championship and it was a big deal. Yeah, yeah, I know it's always a big deal when you're team wins the championship, but for my town it was huge. I'm not joking when I say that businesses closed during the game because people were watching the game.
.... So ... Saturday college game day is a pretty big deal around here!! ... Keeping that in mind, while I was getting ready, I was thinking that I'm sure there are plenty of others out there doing the exact same thing ... I figured a game day face of the day would be well welcomed!! Keep in mind our colors or maroon and silver ... Not bad for colors I think!
Hair - Velcro Rollers are amazing!! For anyone who wants volume and beautiful bouncy curls, you have to try them. I use a curling iron first and apply heat to my hair. I pick the curling iron size depending on how big/tight curls I want. I start from the top, placing the biggest rollers on the top of my head and work my way down, with smaller rollers for each level.
I usually choose to do my hair after my face makeup is done but before my eye make up. This allows my hair to air dry as much as possible before I use my blow drier and then it has time to set on the rollers. The rollers are usually in for about 30 minutes to an hour. I want to leave them in for as long as possible. If you don't have that long to leave them in, just make sure that your hair has cooled completely before taking them out.
After I take out the rollers, it looks like a curly mess. I run my finger through my hair to tame the craziness, but not enough to pull out the curls. I back comb (yes, I know this is bad for your hair, but this girl likes volume!!) hair at my crown. Don't go too crazy, but just to give my hair a little umph. Add a little hair spray to hold things together. It's that Easy!!
