Hair-Do Thursday ♥ Bump It Up!


 
   Hey fashion fairies!  THE BUMP.  Many love it, some despise it, and others are just downright mystified by it.  But in all truth, the hair bump does not have to be A. trashy or B. a mysterious puzzle.  I find both of these examples very classy, and not "overdone".  When your bump is bigger than your head... it's probably too much sweety...  That's what happens when you breathe in too much hairspray!  (Ahh... show choir.)  But anyway!  Just a BIT of hairspray can get the right effect.  The bump should look natural, not like your have something growing out of your head.  So...
   First - decide how much hair you want to be "bumped".  I usually use the hair just behind my bangs, and only as wide as the corner of my eyes.  Lift it straight up in the air for now.  Don't worry about looking like a unicorn.
   Second - hairspray. DON'T go crazy!  Just a quick spray near the base of the hair. And you're good.
   Third - Back comb - Use a comb to brush the hair the opposite direction.  Quick, short strokes near the base of the hair should do it.
   Fourth - Pull it back and secure it.  Whether you use clips, bobby pins, or something else altogether, make it stay.  This is where you can make it really big or pretty small.  Simply move where you are going to secure the hair farther forward to make a larger bump, or farther back for a more subdued bump.
 
   That's all folks!
