Start on the bottom layer of your hair, curling one 1" section away from the face, the next 1" section towards the face. For nights where I want the curls to get big and wild, I use a smaller wand and curl each section in alternating directions. The layers in my hair add dimension so that the waves don’t all sit on top of each other. As the day goes by, these curls settle and wave together, since they’re curled in the same direction. I normally curl my hair every day with a 1" wand, all in the same direction, outwards from my face. Next up was hair! All I know is I wanted big, wild hair. I panicked for a second, and then decided to dunk them in water, take off the excess, pat them dry with a paper towel, and do my hair before getting dressed so I wouldn’t get any gold on my outfit. I don’t know why I didn’t research it before, but now I’m saving one of you out there! You need to use acrylic paint in order for the paint to actually adhere to the rubber. Turns out you can’t just spray paint rubber lol. It was simple enough, but three days later, the snakes still weren’t dry and gold paint would get all over my hands if I even touched them! The night before Halloween, I googled why the paint wasn’t drying.
I totally thought I could simply spray paint the snakes and give them a glamorous look. I had metallic gold spray paint at home already because of a previous DIY project. I ordered 24 small rubber snakes on eBay for $7 here. I wanted to keep the rest of my costume pretty understated, and highlight the snakes. The main part of the costume is definitely about the snakes in her hair. I got the necklace from Nasty Gal it’s actually on sale right now for about $12. I chose a simple black romper from ASOS with a plunging neckline, and one of my favorite necklaces. What I love about this costume is you can really wear anything, since the main focus is from the neck up. I wanted to do a step-by-step, but was a little rushed last night as we had to go to 3 parties! I wish I got more pictures of my hair, it turned out amazing! :) Read on to find out my tips and tricks, what I did wrong, and what went right! :)
As a kid I loved learning about mythology and Medusa was definitely one of my favorites. I have always loved the powerful glare of Medusa’s stare. This year I wanted to do a really fun DIY costume that didn’t take too much effort. Happy Halloween! I love that Halloween landed on a Friday this year! Plenty of parties to go to all weekend.
