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.
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.

Emily and I had the opportunity to be apart of a -- Industrial Spring Inspired Shoot. We always have fun collaborating with our "Frendors" (local vendors) and are so excited for this shoot to be featured on the Ruffle Blog.
Kelsie and Monica's visions was colorful and fun. I loved how they asked for a simple loose bun with bright flowers. I am mean who doesn't love pops of color? The flowers, couple, cake, location, and look was seriously some MAJOR Wedding Goals!
Everyone worked so hard to achieve their vision and their hard work paid off. Check out this stunning styled shoot below.

Oh, my gosh! Where do I even begin. I met Jenny three weeks before her July wedding. I was so happy when we finally got to meet and to go over the hairstyles she was looking for. Jenny had a lot of hair but it was also super fine. To create a softer look, we did a few different styles to meet what she was looking for. I always tell my brides, a trial run is the best way for me to get to know your hair and to get a feel for the texture of it. I am seriously so glad I met Jenny, She is SUPER sweet, (like called me 3 days before my own wedding to tell me, Thank you and Congrats and words of encouragement) I mean could she be any-more adorable? I love knowing that while this is not only a job, its also creating lasting relationships with my brides.(warning this will be repetitive in my Blogs, because its true). I was over the moon, when I got Jenny's pictures back and saw how gorgeous she looked (not hard to do when you're already drop dead gorgeous) but to see how the entire day transpired and all of the happiness. My Favorite Part of The Day -- Mike sent Jenny and her Bridesmaids Starbucks, while they were getting ready and it was the Sweetest.
I'll just leave the pictures below and let you decide for yourselves, but all I can say is WOW!
Congrats again to Jenny and Mike, thank you for letting Sweetly Pinned Hair, be apart of your special day!

When I first met Tara, I realized we were going to be a perfect fit. Not only is she super gorgeous she's super sweet too. During the bridal preview we discussed the options of what she was wanting and how to accomplish it, specific to her hair texture.
Jenn Manor Photography
Tara has beautiful long blonde hair, so I knew the wavy retro look she was going for wouldn't be a problem.
The day of the wedding was pure bliss, Elya and I showed up on-site and ready to go at 8:00a.m. and although it was raining, nothing got in the way of great hair and a fun, energetic bridal party.
Jenn Manor Photography
We created each look based off of the styles each bridesmaids handpicked for themselves, and well, the result, was AMAZING.

I am so honored to share these experiences with my brides and I loved working with this awesome group of girls.
