New Face, New Hair
There's a new face around the studio lately and a new coiffure. Meet Tara. Yes, we should have thought to photograph her face, but were too excited about her awesome hair-do to think that clearly. Isn't this beautiful and fun?
This is how she came to work. No help from us. And the Tara Bun (why not) is a great style for everyday wear, elegant yet casual, tidy yet playful.
New Photo Group
Boxes & boxes of Trash Ties have been shipped since our launch and
now it's time to show off your Trash Ties dos. We've started a Flickr
photo group where you can browse for Trash Ties ideas posted by other
customers like you or add your own (yes! even better). It's easy and
free to join. Click here to take a dip in the Trash Ties photo pool.
We're just getting started, so go add your photos to the group.
And check out this amazing hair-do too! Ainslie, you do us proud.
Watch for customer features in upcoming posts (send those photos in) and keep an eye out for our first official Trash Ties contest this Spring 2008 -- big, crazy prizes!
I totally bought something like this forever ago at a farmer's market at the Biltmore Fashion Park in Phoenix. They were great! Hope they do well for you!

How fun! Camilla, that was me at the Biltmore with the Trash Ties. Same girl, same invention, same business, new packaging. Sounds like you've got yourself some vintage Trash Ties.

Can you give instructions on how to DO the Tara Bun?
Posted by: Grace | February 09, 2008 at 11:44 AM
I'm going to try the Tara Bun today. I think I might have it figured out!

yes! instructions would be great. I just got my trash ties today (in australia)and would love some step by step examples

Ummmmmm... could you please post some more instructions? I've had my trashties for awhile now and I still can't do that.

Sure. Tara said she'd be happy to have us photograph a step-by-step. Remember, you can create any hairstyle you can dream up, you just have to wrap the ties tightly and make sure the wrapped tie touches(forming a complete loop, not a spiral where your hair can twirl out of the tie) - see enclosed style guide for photo of what I mean.

When will we see the instructions?
More ideas with details would be great!

This is a real clean and sophisticated look. Thanks for the great idea. I'll have to check out the trash ties and try this out.

Yes some more detailed instructions would be great. Please, help us less creative people! I'm not good at looking at a photo and saying "Hey that gives me an idea lets try this!"

It never ceases to surprise me how, with a bit of extra digging online, you can discover some of the most unique websites. It's frustrating that more pages like this, aren't ranked at the top when I search with bing online, Ive added you to my favorites, I also have a buddy, that will really enjoy this article, so ill send her, a link to your article, as well. I am certain they will really enjoy it.
