V. How to Get Rufio-Inspired Hair

RU-FI-OOOOOO!

Hot? ABSOLUTELY.

The Concubines from Anna and the King.

Gorgeous? YES.

What makes these fictional personages so swag, you ask? The hair. You can really tell a lot about a person by the way they wear the hair. If you’re the type who craves attention in the absolute best respect, then here’s the doo for you.  I have invented a style that will not make you as hot as Rufio nor the Siamese concubines, but it’ll get you headed in the right direction. 😉

1)Separate your top hair from your bottom hair, and pull both up into a reverse ponytail (as seen in blog #2. Spikey Pony). Tease, spray, and shape the hairs of each pony by rolling them between your fingers to get thick spikes everywhere.

2)Tease the hell out of the free hair. Make it messy. The “dirtier” the better (especially if your hair is fine like mine). Use massive amounts of gel and spray until your hair shapes itself by thought alone! Okay, not that much… but you get the idea. You need texture and pliability.

3)Pull your front hair up and tease it to death. Spike it, shape it, rock it.

4)Apply colors if you wish. I used temporary streaker from Sally’s. It’s basically like a mascara tube with applicator brush that comes in a variety of colors. I chose red and black because Rufio is the love of my life.

5)Add whatever finishing touches you deem necessary (I like to have the sides of my hair down in front of my ears because it gives me a wispy, dreamer-look). Sexy. Okay, and that’s that!

P.S. Dante Basco, I love you. ❤

II.Spikey Pony

Alright! Style #2: The Spikey Pony

***Shorter hair works best for this do***

If you’re like me and you LOVE LOVE LOVE spikey-do’s, it’s a little bit of a let-down if you have long hair; but sob no more! There is a way to get the spiked look without chopping off your luscious locks, and that’s by making what I like to call the “spikey pony.” (Or you could put a zillion bobby pins in your hair, but we’ll save that for another day). 😉

1)Tease the mop-top, spraying with hairspray or spiker for a little more volume. Teasing is super-important if you have hair like mine [i.e., flat and lifeless], so don’t skip this step.

2)Pull the hair back into a regular pony tail. Then, take a hair parter (or rat-tail comb) and split a part down the center of the pony, creating a hole in the center of the pony. Then, pull the hair up through the bottom of the hole in an inverted-pony tail. Use spiker, ICE blaster, and styling waxes to separate and stand-up spikes. Note: I was pressed for time and did not shape many individual spikes, so if you want your hair to look all-out crazy-awesome, give yourself enough time.

3)Comb down side-bangs and burns, straighten with a flat-iron. Fluff up with styling wax. Note: Layered bangs are way easier to fluff up.

And VOILA! You’ve created a spikey-pony! Congrats! Fluff it, tease it, crazy-it-up, and you’ve got a super-awesome do! Enjoy it!

Peace ❤
