Question
so, first of all before i ask my question i should tell you this. i want to be a nurse and i also am gonna start volunterring at the hospital very soon. i also like cats and found this stellar hair bow on audreykitching.com and its a purple hair bow with a kitty face in the middle of it. I wanted to wear my hair in a certain way on my first day volunteering and that brings me to my question. So my question is i want to make my hair into two cat ears on the top of my head and i was wondering if you knew how to do that and if a cat hair clip would look okay in it. wellz i hope you can answer my questions :))

Answer
Hiya,

As for whether or not the cat hair clip will look okay, there's no way for me to answer that since I can't see it or you, or the clip in your hair once it's styled. It sounds cute though.

As for making cat ears, the easiest thing to do would be to either  put your hair in two pony tales on the top sides of your head without pulling them through all the way or just buying one of those headbands they sell in every store that sells Halloween costumes. I've never tried to mold cat ears with gel but if you want to try, you start with two ponytails, apply gel to damp hair and mold it to the shape you want and allow it to dry. Then don't touch it. It's a lot more work than the two pony tails though and I doubt it's worth the trouble.

The cat ears head band would be just as effective.

Have fun,
