Hello there lovelies and happy Friday!! Don’t you just love the new bloggity blog? So fancy and fun and most importantly, so me! I am so glad that my Insta account has been reactivated! That was so crazy! I feel bad for everyone that had that happen to them! It threw me for a loop, for sure! Onto to happier things today since we are back up and in action over there! A lot of you lovely ladies have been requesting a video tutorial on how I get my curls!!! I finally filmed it last week and then this week,I taught myself how to use iMovie! I put my degree in Television Production and Broadcast Journalism to the test! It has been ages since I edited anything and back then, I mainly edited my stories using beta tapes and using a program called Final Cut Pro! So ancient! Ha! Well, the video is here and ready for you! I really hope it helps and as always, please feel free to ask any questions that you might have!
The f a n c y curl n e c e s s i t i e s~
Big barrel curling iron (I use a 1.5 inch barrel)
Clip (to section hair)
layers and a big bang piece (in front)
Without further ado, my video! I hope you it helps and makes you laugh at the same time. I’m not a huge fan of myself on camera these days, but I’m sharing it anyway! 🙂

Have a fabulous and sparkly weekend filled with lots of fancy curls and cocktails! If you try my my method, please let me know! If you have any questions, please let me know those as well! Cheers to Friday! We made it through another week! Woohoo!
Great video Ashley!! Do you have any tips for shorter hair gals like me?
Hey Justine! You could use a smaller barrel iron or even the same size I do. I bet the bigger spiral waves would look fab on you! xo!
Seriously laughed out loud when Teddy came in…haha!
I know Emma! I was cracking up!! It took a few minutes to recover! Real life here! Haha! xo!
You, your shirt and even your bathroom are TOO CUTE!
Thanks so much Amy! You are too sweet! xo!
Thanks for posting this Ashley, you have me wanting to grow my short hair out!
Hey Christy! Thanks so much! You could do a modified version on shorter hair! xo!
still don’t think mine would look this good but i will try!!! the blog looks great! love you!
Your hair always looks amaze!!! The pic you sent of your “fancy curls” looked awesome!! Love you! xo!
Thanks for this tutorial! I always see your pics on Instagram and have wondered how you get such great curls! Can’t wait to try it out!
You are so welcome!!! Hope this helps you!!! xo!
LOVE the new blog design!! Fancy + Fabulous!!! Congrats! I thought ur video was adorable too. I curl my hair the same way! when I curl it that is, b/c 99% of the time it is up! I loved hearing your voice and Teddy’s in the back ground too. Glad ur IG account is all fixed too. I would have cried! Have a wonderful long weekend!!! xoxox, tessa
Thanks so much Tessa!!! Mine is up most of the time too! Life of a mom! Ha! The part when Teddy came in was just so funny! So glad the insta thing is fixed! I did cry! Ha! Hope you are doing well! xo!!
Oh my word. You are just too stinking cute! Loved the video. We are hair curling soul sisters… except I use a clip-less bombshell curling rod. I started to do one of these a couple of years ago (when I switched to clip-less), but backed out because I knew everyone would rip on my southern accent. HA!
You are too sweet! Thank you!!! My friend gave me a bombshell rod but I am scared to try it because I have done mine the same for awhile! Why mess with a good thing?! Ha! Does it take longer to curl your hair with it? People would love your accent, I bet! I hate hearing my voice on camera! Oh well! The video cracked me up! xoxo!
You are adorable!! I love the tutorial, and your blog 🙂 will definitely try it out 🙂 btw, your top is adorable–mind sharing where it’s from? I love anyyyyything with tassels right now 🙂
Hey Laura! Thanks! You are sweet! The top is from Old Navy. In the girls section! It’s a similar concept to the dress with the pink tassels that I wear, that is on my summer essential list today! Happy Shopping! xoxo!
Hey Ashley! Has the video disappeared from the page? I can’t see it, but could see the top knot one! Nicci
