(Lifestyle & Fashion) How to achieve this look!


Achieve this look!

This image has been circling Tumblr and Facebook and everyone wants to know, how did you get your hair like this?!


Step One: Protective Style Take-down


I had this protective style in for about 9 weeks (redoing it every week of course!) before I took them down. You don't have to have the style in for that long to achieve this look, but make sure your hair is stretched but not too manipulated ie. loose twists or braids.

Step 2: Bantu Knots

I bantu knotted my hair as I took down my protective style and only kept them in for as long as it took to undo all of my hair.

The result, super stretched and big hair!

Try this for yourself and tell us what you think!

4 (More) Subtle Signs to Being a HIPSTER

By VIEWER'S CHOICE, this is HIPSTEROLOGY, bringing your the SUBTLE SIGNS exhibited by the HIPSTER. 


To see PART ONE click on this link 6 Subtle Signs to Being a Hipster




Hipsterology Dictionary

The Shrug: Most Hipster's like to appear nonchalant, or plainly speaking, like they don't give a fuck.


And here's four more ways how...




#1: The Drape


Hipster FIlter brought to you by Pixlr.com



"I don't really care, I mean, half of my clothes are falling off me."
Portia D. as Hipster #1


Button Up: Pac Sun
Tank: Rue 21
Skirt: Rave Girl
Shoes: Rue 21
Bracelet: Vendor (Baltimore)
Shades: Rainbow


The Drape embodies the tradition of letting a material fall where it may. Now, what better way to seem casual than to let your semi unbuttoned shirt just fall gracefully across your shoulder?


#2: Character: aka Old As Shit (oas)




Shoes: Heirloom



By being oas, certain items begin to have a 
history, they tell the tale of past feats and explorations, which has Hipsters and Rock Stars drooling. And that's where Hipster's love of everything VINTAGE derives. 









Hey, even we're fans of the oas Chuck Taylor's.



#3 Androgyny



Jacket: Rave Girl
Tank: Rue 21
Pants: Dillard's
Necklace: Rue 21
Shoes: Payless
Bracelet: (China)




From what we've studied, Hipster's don't necessarily desire to be unisex or androgynous, but rather to go against gender conformity. 










Doesn't matter if a suit jacket is "made" for a man and skinny jeans for a woman. If it looks good--it looks good!






#4 Horizontal Stripes



Guest Staring: Yvon Dion as Hipster #2


Shirt: Rave Girl
Shorts: Shoe City
Socks: DSW
Shoes: She Depot
Necklace: Claire's
Headband: Claire's
Shades: Beauty Supply Store


How long has EVERYONE said that horizontal stripes are a "no no"...? Well, as long as we've been born, yet this pattern, (and plaid) dominates the Hipster wardrobe. 

The reason... idk, we're guessing a genuine disregard for the rule.


But hey, we like it!

If you like this, then you'd love...


And we know you wanna be cool!
