DIY hair color

I’m getting ready to dye my hair dark for the fall/winter! I usually switch up my hair color a little bit during this time of year with a darker shade.

R & I are both DIY hair dye veterans (we won’t talk about the one time I dyed R’s hair and missed a few spots… sorry babe LOVE YA!)

Despite that little mishap, we’re both big fans of dying our own hair with products you can find at Walgreens, Ulta, etc. It’s all about finding the right brand & shade for your hair type & skin color. Here are a few that we’ve tried or heard about that definitely top the rest!

DIY american flag jean shorts

4th of July is almost here & we are so excited to be on a boat, drinkin’ a beer, and celebrating good ol’ America.

Here’s a step-by-step on how to create your own patriotic shorts!

buy a pair of old jeans from a thrift shop (these are old school Old Navy jean capris from Goodwill)

cut them into shorts ~ make sure not to cut them too short the first time, you can always cut more off later & get the perfect length

fray the bottoms of the shorts to get rid of the straight cut lines

spray paint the left side bright blue

use star stencils (found this sheet at Michael’s)

put the stencils over the blue & spray white. it takes several coats & careful spraying to get perfect stars. as you can see, these aren’t exactly picture perfect, but after a couple tries & coats you’ll get it.

spray paint the right side white

add some red lines & boom! all-American jorts.

you can even use the leftover denim to create a braided bracelet!
