Lee Hi "It's Over" inspired hairband

  here are the promised pics.

Hey guys! Back with another k-pop inspired diy for you kpop lovers. This time is inspired by Lee Hi's new comeback song "It's Over" Though out the whole song cute hairbands popping up everywhere, and teddy bears, a lot of teddy bears. Originally i wanted to make one with teddy bears but i can't bear (pun intended) the thought of decapitating one of mine or any one for that matter so here's one that's "inspired".

But before that i have a hair update! too much up keep for blond hair so to minimize the black roots problem i kind of ombre'd it purple. i Love the color! and it makes the black roots situation less noticeable so i'm happy.


Let's Start
you'll need:
cute fabric (something cotton-y - no stretch)
 *can use fleece if lazy to hem*
needle
thread
plain headband
glue (hot glue/E6000)
stuffing (i just used cut up fleece)
other embellishments you have
click to enlarge. just noticed how small the word are. sorry...




watch how i put everything together

GOING BLONDE overview.

this is for all the lazy people who are too lazy to read my long ass post below so this is the simplified version. There's extra tips in this one so make sure to read both.

  • do it yourself. save money and get better results than buying a box bleach.
  • wear gloves and use a hair brush (not comb "brush") to apply bleach. 
  • separate hair into sections and start from the nape (neck) and work upwards.
  • apply 1to 1.5 inches away from roots. when rest of the hair is covered go back and apply to roots to ensure even hair color.
  • apply generously!!
  • DO NOT COMB THROUGH HAIR WHEN COVERED WITH BLEACH!! VERY DAMAGING
  • don't leave on for more than 40 mins. EVEN IF IT STATES LONGER. it's no good. 
  • cover hair which tin foil after each sections so it doesn't dry out and then with a plastic hair cap.
  • don't be discouraged. it is literally impossible to go blonde in one go for Asian hair. it will take a few bleaches.
  • let your hair rest for at least a week before bleaching again. (ppl say 3 days but..it's bleach it totally harms ur hair no matter what ppl say.) 
  • you will probably have rly wierd hair colors in between but i never said it was going to be easy,
  • deep condition!! A LOT (next post is a hair mask tutorial)
  • enjoy the results and let people stare.
  • p.s. I didn't bleach my eyebrows but if you are going to use facial bleach, NOT the one for your head hair.
