You may have been working on ways to really change out your hairstyles.  Or you may really want to WOW your friends with a hot new look that is completely original.  You don’t want to spend a fortune and you don’t want the cool new look to be anything but temporary. (Leopard spots were created in an elaborate hair design to the side)

Hair stencils are your answer to creating a smashing new look that can be jazzed up for a formal event like a special party, Prom or wedding, or they can be just fun and wild.

Hair stenciling allows you to create and apply temporary designs, hair paints and glitter to your hair.  Although hair stencils tend to generally work better with shorter hair, they can be creatively applied to just about any length of hair and any color.

One thing is guaranteed.  No one will be able to copy your unique design. If you hand make your own hair pattern and select a wild range of temporary haircolors and snap on jewels or glitter, you will have fun, look fantastic and be your own hairstyle trend setter.

If you wish to use color you can apply color using a spray-on color.  Hold the spray 6-8 inches from your hair and then spray over the entire stencil opening.

Maniac Panic were created by Tish & Snooky who are the pioneers of punk colors.  The MP colors can be applied to the stencil opening with a paintbrush.  Remember that if your hair is naturally dark that certain colors will be less visible than other.  Apply the Manic Panic, decorate with tiny rhinestones or colored glitter and then set the design withlight hair spray.

If you want to add extra hair shimmer add a tiny drop of shine product to the palms of your hands and then glide carefully over the sections of hair that have been stenciled.

Remember to use your fingers to carefully arrange your hair after you have applied the stencil.  Limit your use of a styling tool that can potentially disturb the look.  Be sure to spray your entire head with a good shaping spray.

If you are going to add hair jewels (large jeweled butterflies are definitely back for 2001), atiara, fresh flowers or gorgeous hair sticks, place them in your style last, after you have applied any color, glitter or gels.
