We get a ton of questions about hair accessories. I LOVE hair accessories, and think they add the perfect touch to the overall style. A lot of women will opt out and use only the veil. It really comes down to preference and your style.
Jovana and I hit it off immediately. She was wanting to do a half up half down style or Side-Swept. We ended up doing both at the trial run and she decided she wanted it to be side-swept with a lot of volume and a braid incorporated.
Fun Couple Facts:
Jovana and Tim met in High school and they went on their first date their Junior year. Nothing had come of it, UNTIL - they reunited in their second year of college when Tim transferred to Jovana's College and they had sushi together. They've been together ever since. Isn't that adorable!!
Congrats to Jovana and Tim! Thank you for hiring Sweetly Pinned Hair and Makeup for your bridal parties hair.
Special Thanks to Kaleigh Turner Photography for the beautiful wedding images

Jovana is a sweet as can be, and I was honored she picked me for her bridal hair. It was so much fun and her bridesmaids kept me laughing all day long.
It was a hot and humid July day, but by looking at these pictures, you'd have no idea it was 90 degrees out. They all looked amazing and I'm so excited to share!
Okay ya'll I have been trying out some new products and wanted to share my everyday favorite products.
I have a TON of products so i'll do a monthly blog going over monthly faves. I would love to know if you purchase any of the items I list and if you like them or dislike them. Every hair type is different and I have several scalp issues so I have to be careful with what I'm using. Some of my favorite products do contain alcohol in them and it can really irritate my scalp so I have to be careful. I'm thinking my scalp starting have issues after I bleached the crap out of it a few years back. I'm sure I severely burnt it. HA, but if you know me, that didn't stop me from doing it. SO here's my list.
Starting from Left to Right
No 1. Seya Beauty Makeup Case (Using for hair) - If you are an onsite hairstylists or makeup artists I have nothing but great things to say so far about my new case. Now, this could change, if I continue using it and don't like it, I'll let you all know. Believe me. HA! So far its very professional, sturdy, and has a TON of space! Love it!
No. 2. Paul Mitchell Worked Up - I am a Kenra girl usually.... if you open my case it usually contains 90% Kenra products but..... This working spray is AMAZING!!! If you want a great light weight spray for curling THIS IS IT! I would shout it from the roof tops. It keeps the hair manageable while protecting it and leaves your curls in place.
No. 3 Olivia Garden DV-2 Brush - I just received this brush from giveaway contest with Modern Salon (EEEEEK!) I was super excited when I received the package, and boy, they didn't disappoint. I probably wouldn't have ever picked this brush up, but now that I've used it, I will be buying more in the future. I use my Wet brush when my hairs wet, but this brush is great for styling. I.e. Curl my hair and brush out, this brush maintains the style while softening up the look and the best part ITS ANTI-STATIC!!!! WOOOHOO. Can, I get an amen!
No. 4 and No. 5 Puff Me and Powder Dry Me
So No. 4 Puff Me - This is a spray powder, it comes out in a mist, super lightweight, giving hair the texture and volume every girl craves. I use this for all styles to give the hair more volume. Its comparable to Big Sexy Hair Powder Clay but I love that it sprays out.
No. 5 Powder Dry Me - This is by the same company Design Me Hair and I just used it for the first time today, but It definitely sped up the blow drying experience. With bleaching my hair, its been a tad bit dry, so it takes longer to blow dry. The smell was really great and you use it on towel dried hair. I wouldn't say it speeds it up a ton, but it was a little faster.
No. 6 Fanola No Yellow Shampoo - LAST but not LEAST - FAVORITE no yellow shampoo, I've tried thus far. Fanola, had sent me this shampoo to test out and I had no clue how expensive it was, but I am in LOVE!!!!!! I use this once a week for about 1-2 minutes on wet hair. It clears up so much brass and makes it look more ashy. I love more ash and less brass so its perfect for me. I would highly suggest this product to anyone trying to get rid of brass.

A few weeks ago I was asked to be apart of the new Spring look book for Palette of Threads Boutique located in Englewood, OH. Obviously I was excited since, I myself, am addicted to shopping and love local boutiques.
I was so pumped to work along with other local girl bosses and received the images today. Not only is Palette of Threads affordable, super cute, and modest clothing, the owner Jessica is major girl boss #goals. We kept the looks boho and loose, which I obviously LOVED. I highly recommend stopping by there if you are looking for a new outfit or follow along with new their daily styles on Instagram @Paletteofthreads.
Thanks for having Sweetly Pinned Hair be apart of this Spring look book, I had a blast. If you need me, you can find me buying all of their new clothes.

I get asked frequently about what I products I love, what products smell great, and are they worth the money. Because, lets be real, beauty products are EXPENSIVE. I want to help guide you, with some of the best products and give you tips and tricks for using them.
Left to Right
Super Strong Volume Spray Hairspray - This is my go-to for on-location or daily styling. I LOVE the smell, its a super strong hold, leaving the style intact all day long. Every bridesmaid/bride always says "Wow, that smells so good". (Tips and Tricks) after achieving the desired hairstyle, use Kenra 25 Finishing Spray all over it about 6-8" away from the hair.
2. AG Hair Care
OMG(OSH) I have recently discovered this amazing keratin filled serum and its the best thing since sliced bread. I am seriously in love. not only does it make my hair feel amazing and soft. Its repairing my hair and reduces breakage! PRAISE THE LORD! If you are struggling with breakage or damaged hair, try this serum, its definitely a game changer. (Use on clean damp hair, spread on the ends or where any damage is occurring, then proceed to style)
3. Kenra Oil Absorbing Dry Shampoo
Okay you guys...... Know how some dry shampoos build up on your hair and some leave it feeling gross/filled with powder or perhaps more greasy? I have tried what feels like a hundred dry shampoos and I want something that leaves my hair feeling oil free and smells great. Drum roll please. THIS IS IT! I Love this dry shampoo and it removes all of the oil! WOO HOO! No more washing my hair everyday. (My hair gets super oily) so this is a must have if you have similar issues. (Use on dirty hair preferably once or twice a day and continue for however long you want). I can go up to 3 days without washing my hair.
Anyway, let me know if this information was useful, I love helping people out. There is so many products out there, and no one has time for testing all of them. I find the best and most talked about products and try them, so you don't have to.
Also FYI, I was not given nor paid for to use these products. I bought them with my hard earned, independent, bo$$ babe, monies. ;)
