The Fashion Fuse

a fashion blog about the fusion of style, cost and soul

Brigitte Bardot Inspired Hair (down and up)

07|23|2014

I have really enjoyed filming the videos for The Fashion Fuse channel on youtube.com.  I have worked as an actress for 12 years or so, so it has been fun for me to create projects to film and I cannot thank you enough for the support I have received.  Besides, actors are always looking for work, right?  Not a field for the weary (gulp).  This video was extra fun because I got to play dress up (or updo) with Emma  from Emmasparlour.com.  She has lived all over the place, doing hair and learning from the best, so naturally, I was really excited to work with her!
 
In this video, Emma creates what she calls a “Modern day Brigitte Bardot inspired hair” look with tons of fullness and volume and then turns it into a loose and messy updo for two completely different looks.  We wanted to give those of you who style your hair, but only wash it every few days, an option besides a pony tail for those last couple of days when your hair can no longer be worn down….or what I like to call, the homeless phase.  I tend to usually throw it in a ponytail, so I was really excited to learn another option.  
 
ps. please forgive the autocorrecting noise throughout the video…normally I would reshoot, but we had Emma for one day and I didn’t want it to be in vain! Her skills are too good not to share.
 
I am in love with my Plum Pretty Sugar robe I am wearing in the video.  It’s so light and beautiful….a robe you actually feel pretty in.  Plum Pretty Sugar has so many beautiful robe and pajama sets (see below).  They sell them in packs for bridal parties as well.  I am committed to robe life people! 
 
Let me know if you have any questions for Emma or me.  Thanks

    Ooo love this look! The curling wand totally surprised me, I thought it was going to make afro curls but they ended up looking so beachy and textured. Great video!

    These are such beautiful looks, and I’m writing down that tip about not opening the bobby pins, it’s so great to know!
