Sister Golden Hair

Yesterday I had a good hair day.  I don’t make that claim too often, but I had straightened it the night before and it had just a slight wave that I won’t be able to replicate ever again.  Since I’m relatively clueless what it comes to styling my hair (a side ponytail is about as glamorous as I get), I’ve rounded up a few leading ladies for some mane ideas.

Do you have a go-to style?

the side part, low side messy bun is my go-to …it always works when nothing else does. Great hair icons.

i like the low pony..i think not many can pull it off though..that includes moi:)

I love the braids but I can’t ever figure out how to get it to look like that!

i love LC’s do and a headband saves the day :o )

I am so uncoordinated when it comes to my hair! Definitely not a talent of mine…so the thought of giving myself an “easy updo” or braids makes me shudder. These pics are great though and I love the loose curls!

My goto is a plain loose braid for work and play. Works everytime! I’m too lazy to straighten my hair all the time. And since my hair is curly, when I do straighten it, I have no idea how to manage it at all!

PONY-ville!
i am the laziest hair person. ever!

after i shower i just put it in a braid ( i don’t even own a blow dryer- eeek!!!) but it never stays wavy!!! I have stick straight hair.
like a horse :)

i love Rachel’s + sarah M G hair.
i love braids!!!

thanks for your sweetness emily.

Gotta love those rare but treasured good hair days!
I really love Hilary Duff’s high pony tail and headband. I’ll usually tease the hair around my crown so there’s a big of a poof in front of the headband. I have also been braiding a small section of hair from one side to the other and tucking it behind my ear (Lauren Conrad in infamous for this on The Hills). I love SMG’s look but I don’t think I could do that myself!

I love the title of this post as I’ve been feeling nostalgic and listening to America way too much lately:)

10 Michelle { 12.17.08 at 9:12 am }

I love this post as I have hair issues! If in doubt, I push it up into a big ole hair clip thingy!

11 Jackie { 12.17.08 at 9:21 am }

Definitely no go-to style for me. I’m hair styling inept. I can’t even work a hair dryer!

12 holly { 12.17.08 at 9:55 am }

i love hillary duff’s pony with headband, but somehow i think that isnt all easily slapped together as we may think.

my go-to style, is just down! boring :/

13 Aartee { 12.17.08 at 10:00 am }

I love the braids look but haven’t been able to replicate it!

14 The Preppy Princess { 12.17.08 at 10:11 am }

Oh, we are so happy to have stumbled upon your delightful blog! A new one to add to our daily reads! Fun, fun, fun!

The low pony is our answer to almost everything. Never lets us down!

Grins & Giggles for the rest of your week!

I hate my hair right now, but I love leighton meester’s hair as well as her whole style…

16 Girl next blog { 12.17.08 at 10:36 am }

Glamorous hair-styles!
And I love Ashley Olsen’s waves, but I think everything would look awesome on her.

17 Kristina { 12.17.08 at 10:40 am }

Yeah, blow dried and then run a straightener through it. I can’t even use a round brush! I am a hair idiot.

I think that LC’s hair would look uber adorable on you.

18 Sal { 12.17.08 at 11:54 am }

Such cute styles … yet I look at them and KNOW each one took an hour or more to create and perfect. I wear my hair down, in a slicked pony, or in two little buns at the nape of my neck. I bet the two little buns look would be adorable, on you, Emily! (That sounded filthy, but you know what I mean.)

19 candi { 12.17.08 at 12:43 pm }

I love SMG’s braids! Thanks for reminding me that I don’t need to cut my hair. Too many cute long hairstyles on this post. Love it!

20 zoe { 12.17.08 at 1:14 pm }

my go to used to be a bun but now it’s a ponytail with my trusty black headband. when my go to was a bun i always wore that headband too. i love the styles you posted up. they’re simple yet very cute.

21 Cheryl { 12.17.08 at 1:53 pm }

What a nice comment you made on my blog! It’s 1am over here but I’m going to come back and see you tomorrow! xx

22 Karen { 12.17.08 at 2:04 pm }

I think my bad hair days used to outweigh the good — which is why I recently chopped it all off into a chin-length bob! :) Much easier to style now — and more good hair days to go along with it!

23 paula { 12.17.08 at 2:25 pm }

depends on the season. during the humid summers i go for a ponytail always. during the winter simply down works for me. everyone always thinks i did something special because it is always up, ha.

24 Kwana { 12.17.08 at 2:42 pm }

Thanks for visiting my blog today. My hair is super short so my go to style is slicked to my head and smooth ala Josephine Baker or a man from the 30’s depending in the day and how tired I am. I’ve your blog.

25 Sweet Nothings { 12.17.08 at 2:43 pm }

love the side braid, I have my friend do it and I call and say you need to lauren conrad my hair!

26 Kwana { 12.17.08 at 2:44 pm }

Sorry for typos! Eek. sooo tired. LOVE YOUR BLOG!

27 Air { 12.17.08 at 2:46 pm }

i’m a hair dummy too, but i love how Rachel Bilson always looks so great with ther low pony-tail.

28 katelin { 12.17.08 at 2:56 pm }

my go to is the down and curly look, haha. there’s only so much i can do with my short curly hair, but i love it nonetheless.

29 milly { 12.17.08 at 3:35 pm }

for me, I like the pulled back messy hair look with a thin headband. This works ALL THE TIME, even on bad days and my bangs are only slightly pulled to the side so I dont look like I have a big forehead! For going out on very special occasions, I like to put my hair in big hot rollers then pull the curls out so they are more wavy. GREAT POST! Glad you liked my pictures…

30 Monique { 12.17.08 at 4:19 pm }

Lazy days for me have to be low messy bun or the braids. Usually a combination of the two!! Love the pics, you picked some great hair icons!

31 jennifer ramos { 12.17.08 at 5:08 pm }

I wish I could do that SARA michelle..braid do…so cute!

Ahh, good song. I can’t get it out of my head now, so I’m bringing it up on iTunes for a listen ;)
My go-to styles lately have been pony with a headband and low pony (although my hair never seems to look as nice as Rachel Bilson’s!)

33 Catherine { 12.17.08 at 5:59 pm }

Emily, I love my hair. I have naturally curly hair and it too me forever and a day to learn how to let it do its own thing.

I wash it before going to bed, put it up in a messy french bun and in the morning I take it down and i have awesome curls. If I have to look polished and together, I take a inch curling iron and neaten the messy parts. Takes like 5 minutes and a little hairspray.

Hope you are having a lovely evening.
<3

34 Lexie { 12.17.08 at 6:13 pm }

awww i like your side pony! it’s cute.

i have short hair, so it’s pretty much taken care of with a little bit of pomade!

35 mrs. french { 12.17.08 at 7:11 pm }

I’m a loose waves kind of gal…mostly because I am to lazy to straighten…congrats on a good hair day…cheers! xo

36 lisa { 12.17.08 at 11:40 pm }

rachel b’s hair always seems to look amazing…i love to wear my hair down and sort of bed-head messy, better the 2nd day too :)
kisses from super snowwwwwy las vegas

37 naomi { 12.18.08 at 1:14 am }

do i have a go-to style?

ugh.

i wish.

i’m so lazy. the blow dryer is like calculus to me. i love pony tails.

you should teach me!

xo

38 phi s t y l e { 12.18.08 at 8:02 am }

ponytail, ponytail, ponytail.

but i would kill for wavy, voluminous hair. i have the opposite problem of most people (and the most common problem for asians) – stick straight hair!

i really like the headband+ponytail look, but i have massive amounts of baby hair around my hair line and it just looks ridiculous w/ a headband. =(

39 issa { 12.18.08 at 8:45 am }

i am completely lazy when it comes to my hair… i just wash it and go.. stick straight is pretty much my go to style.. i think pony tails make me look even younger.. and when i attempt to curl my hair.. it ends up a very slight wave within the hour.

40 The City Sage { 12.18.08 at 12:57 pm }

What I would give for a little wave! I love Ashley L’s loose ringlets so much. My go-to is a bun—twist it up and forget about it. Sometimes when I’m really bad it’s still wet when it goes up.

41 Helen Cuthbert { 12.19.08 at 5:12 am }

My friends constantly remind me of my best ever comment…. “Sometimes I like my hair and sometimes I don’t!” I think this is very true…but they find it hilarious!

42 Hayley { 12.27.08 at 1:33 am }

I am seriously copying these. I especially love the headband with pony on dirty hair days!

43 Hannah { 01.01.09 at 5:50 pm }

I’ve had straight across bangs for more then a year now, and I still love them! It looks really good when your hair is straight, and makes ponytails look way more interesting.

44 CL { 11.17.09 at 1:26 pm }

High, messy bun. I have crazy.curly hair and when it gets out of control (and it frequently does) I have to pull it up and away!
