Another Victoria’s Secret

Posted by:

Ok so after I saw the VS fashion show this year, of course, I started stalking youtube for BACKSTAGE clips. I saw that they used this technique on the models hair and I tried and LOVED it. Then… whilst searching for some hot inspiration I ran across a photo of Miss Marisa Miller. Her hair looks incredible. After some experimenting I realized the same technique was used to create her look. I am telling you I am obsessed with this hair right now! The volume is unreal.

 

I am not super excited about being in a photo next to her gorgeousness so..please be kind and focus on the hair…

I offer you this tutorial as an apology for my absentness lately. I hope you will accept the gesture...

          What is the styling cream called? I need help finding a product that will help my curls stay all day long, I have tried the holding the curl until its cooled down, hairspray – and no luck. What woudl you recommend?

    Is all your hair real? I’m only asking because I know that fake hair can curl better than real hair. I have extremely long and thick hair like this and I am definitely going to give this a try! It looks beautiful!!!

  8. Tina  January 12, 2012

    You are SO beautiful! Thanks for this tutorial! I never thought of doing it that way. I always use a hot tools deep waver iron, Have you tried using one of those?? my hair is super thick and goes to my waist and i can do my whole head in about 10 min. On the other hand this does look like the waves might be more full and rounded, so i am for sure going to try it this way. I was just curious if you have tried a deep waver and your thoughts on that if you have. :) Thanks Again!!

    FINALLY!!!! I found you on Pinterest (lucky day for me) & I’m in heaven! I own so….much makeup & it’s all so, blah. As an aspiring girly-girl I find your tips & tricks so helpful. I am making a shopping list of things I need so that I am able to try the make-up tutorials you have posted. Here is what I have so far:
    Makeup Forever HD Foundation
    Sun Laboratories Overnight Tan
    Tarte Lipsurgence lip tint
    Sephora’s Moonshadow Pallet

    So…I know I am missing the brushes. What else should I pick up? Ooh, the eyeliner……I need to go to the lists on your YouTube posts, but any other essentials?

    Thank you so much (love your hair & looking forward to the tutorial for the makeup in this pic…hint, hint).

    Your new Forever fan,
    Shelley

    Just curious about one thing, I tried this tutorial on my hair but my curls/waves turned out more like crimps. Not so cute. I was using the same size curling iron as you as well. Any thoughts on how to fix this problem? I love the way it looks on you and I am anxious to make it work for myself!!

    (reply)
    • caralynee  January 12, 2012

      did you use styling cream?That is really important to hold the s curl. Also, did you make sure the hold the curl while it cooled? if you don’t hold it while it cools the weight of your hair will drag it down and the volume is lost!

I have side bangs that end at the top of my cheek bone and i didn’t use the iron on them. I feel like it looks a little odd and doesn’t have that “natural” look I was hoping for. Any suggestions? Thanks for the video!

  37. Stevie  January 13, 2012

    Hello! LOVED you’re video :) I’ve been searching for one that has a good Marissa Miller/VS model tutorial for forever haha! Just one question for you. What type of layers do you have? And how would you best describe them to a stylest? I’ve got about the same length as you, mine hits probably mid boob and my hair is fine however I have a ton of it so it ends up being thick! I know that they help break up the hair and help it to hold a curl better but I feel like everytime I tell my girl how to cut it it ends up being stacked layers that don’t blend :/ Thanks so much!!

    (reply)
    • caralynee  January 13, 2012

      UGH! It is so hard to find someone who can cut layers into long hair without looking like jen aniston from the 90′s! I have fine thick hair too. I just tell my stylist I want layers that start mid neck and then blend the crap out of them! but yes the layers are so important without them curl just won’t stay! THanks stevie!

    Hi! Out of curiosity, what basic makeup brushes do you recommend? I’ve seen a couple of your tutorials (which are awesome, b-t-dubs) and without having to go through them all again and take note of the brushes, which ones do you recommend? For cheeks, eyes, etc… As a suggestion, I think it would be awesome if you could post a picture of your brushes lined up on a white piece of paper (so we can see the angles, width, length) of the brush heads. It’d be nice to get the opinion of someone who isn’t working in a store, telling me I need every brush alive. Gracias..! =)

    I love your hair!! My hair is about middle of my back or lower. I usually just straighten it and thats it. But, I got a new curling iron from remington 1 and 1/4 barrel. I also got this thicking cream I thought I try using called Fat Hair. But it totally didn’t work. My hair is think and long. I just curled my hair and the curles just fall back out. I used hair spray and it still really didn’t hold. If you could help me out what is the best curling iron and styling cream I would appreciate it. I really love this hair!!

    Thanks,
    Courtney

    • caralynee  January 15, 2012

    I just wanted to thank you for all of your wonderful tutorials and entertaining posts. I have struggled with getting my hair to curl just right for years now.. and your tutorials are the ONLY ones that have worked for me. My hair is very similar to yours and you’ve helped me a ton! Thanks for all the time you put in, I love this look, it turns out GORGEOUS. And seriously.. you’re hotter than Marisa ;)

    I love this!! Which cream are you using though? The cream, in the capped tube? Or the Quick slip Styling cream in the pump bottle?

    New to pinterest, you’re the first thing that caught my eye. LOVED the video and can’t wait to try. Pinterest should be paying you. So psyched to check out more of your info and more of pinterest if this is what it has to offer! BTW-yep, way hotter than marissa miller. ; )

    Just found your blog.. already hopelessly addicted. What an gorgeous hairstyle. I am very excited to try it! Thanks! Also, if you dye your hair, what brand/color do you use? I have been trying to get the confidence to dye my hair for quite some time now, and your hair color in the ‘finished product’ picture is EXACTLY what I am looking for.

Great tutorials and I love how real you are, you’ve been cracking me up. I’ve been playing around with my hair lately and can’t wait to try some of the tricks you’ve shared. Thanks!!

    I saw above that you had made an apology for putting yourself “next to her gorgeousness”. Just wanted to let you know, you blow her out of the water.

    I did this hairstyle this morning and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it!! It took longer than I expected because it was my first time (45 mins) but I bet I can probably get it down to 30 mins. Great tutorial. Keep it coming!

    Love the video! I love the idea of a hair style like this, but I have super fine/thin hair that has trouble holding a curl. Do you have any suggestions about how I can get the curl to hold in my kind of hair? I would really appreciate it!

    So I stumbled upon you on pinterest and I am so glad! I just tried this hair style and I am in love I sent your link to all my girlfriends and they wanna try it after seeing how my hair turned out. It does take a while to do this since I have very thick and long hair but I went to bed and woke up and my hair was exactly the same I am in love!! Thank you!!

    Excuse me, but I attempted to email you regarding something on your blog but the given e-mail address did not work. Is there another place I could speak to you?

  92. Maggie  January 24, 2012

    Ran across your blog on Pinterest, as many others have. I didn’t know who Marisa Miller was, and from your comment about not wanting to appear next to a photo of her, I assumed she was the bottom photo and you were the top until I started watching the video. You are gorgeous! I love your blog! I am so clueless about hair and makeup, I literally need step-by-step instructions, and a video is even better. Can’t wait to try some of your tricks!

  93. Kat  January 25, 2012

    I too found this on Pinterest. I’m really good with styling my hair, but I could never quite achieve this beachy look. Thanks for sharing! You’re have the most gorgeous hair!

  95. Nicole  January 31, 2012

    I LOVE the Marisa Miller hair you did! And I want to try it on my own hair, But what should I do if my front layers arent as long as yours? I have more of a long bang that probably wouldnt wrap around the cruling iron.

    (reply)
  96. Jackie  February 1, 2012

    She said “Believe it or not, Marisa rats.” Made me laugh.

    You really are gorgeous though and I will definitely have to try this once my hair gets longer but I don’t know if I can pull off the middle part.

    I absolutely love your ideas/videos/advice!! I have a funny question to ask but I also love your grey/ivory henley shirt that you’re wearing in this post. Do you mind if I ask where it’s from?
    Thanks so much :)

    I have relatively thin hair, but a lot of it, that is pretty straight. I cannot get it to hold a curl to save my life. The ends will curl, but it is almost like my hair is too heavy to hold any kind of curl, no matter how hot I get it on the curling iron. What can I do to get it to hold a curl like this one or the Megan Fox tutorial? I love the look, but short of a perm, it seems impossible.

    this is so pretty but did you use a ceramic curling iron or just a regular one because my curling iron is not the hard shiny barrell like most.

    (reply)
    • caralynee  February 24, 2012

      yes I did use ceramic but it isn’t required. Just be sure your iron gets REALLY hot. I recommend hot tools.

    What color do you use on your hair? I’m in Germany and I’m not keen on having mine colored over here. Hoping I can find a box until I am home and can visit a salon.
