Ever feel like something is just wrong with your hair?
No matter what style you try, your hair simply won’t cooperate.
How about feeling like you don’t know what you’re doing with your style?
Well, I’ll tell you right now the flaw isn’t with your hair or anything else related to you.
Marlaine’s here with me to demonstrate what I mean by this. She’s a subtle, soft Type 2 woman in my Energy Profiling System.
She’s about to learn what happens when she shifts her belief from “I don’t know what I’m doing with my style” to “I know what’s correct for me and I can put together an amazing style” or “my hair is showing up to support me.”
You don’t want to miss this touching Dressing Your Truth makeover!
“Before I felt old, tired and frumpy. But now I feel like a new and better version of myself.” — Marlaine, Type 2 woman
What a lovely Type 2 transformation! Marlaine, I applaud you for having the courage to “put yourself out there” You are truly beautiful.
You looked pretty before, but absolutely lovely after!
Such a wonderful video!! Marlaine I also applaud your beautiful courage and celebrate your re-discovery of who you truly are with you. You are such a beautiful woman and this makeover really allows the world to see not only your outer beauty, but draws us to the luminous inner beauty you possess. Thank you, Carol and DYT. It truly is so much more than the clothes. It’s our entire being.
I love this! So beautiful 🙂 <3
I love it!!! It almost gave me tears and chicken skin 🙂 I want the same for myself!! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this beautiful makeover!!! It’s very inspiring 🙂 Beautiful woman!!!
Love the hairstyle Marlaine! I’ve been growing out a Pixie cut (not flattering), and I’m working on a similar look as a T2.
That longer S curve length on the side and the hair behind the ear is very attractive. Thank you for the inspiration!
Marlaine is just the poster child for DYT in this. GLOWING in her true self and so confident. I LOVE it. When I started DYT I heard Carol say how hair is such a crucial element to really dress your truth. AMEN. If I ONLY pulled my hair UP and wore shiny gold jewelry I would be 75% there. The colors and design lines top it off (but might not hold their own if the hair is not right). Marlaine you are gorgeous!! Super comfy and super CHIC!! I also love how Carol’s T3 outfit vibes with the whole story. A+++ to all.
Maybe I missed it, but what is Marlaine’s secondary?
So beautiful! So lovely to be reminded and mirrored as a type 2, I think its very encouraging to see that you can be yourself, and you can be beautiful! Thankyou!
Wow! What an amazing transformation! Your hair is spot on and shows the real you!
What a beautiful makeover. You can see her eyes just shine whereas before she looked a bit timid and unsure. I’m so excited and thankful for her!
I wish I could come and see you and get a makeover. I will be 45 on Sunday and am a busy mama of 11 children. My oldest is 23 and the youngest is 3.
Last year I looked in the mirror and didn’t like what I saw weight wise (or in any way really) and I was able to, through hard work and dedication, lose 63 pounds.
I almost feel lost like I don’t know who I am really. I mean, I’m thankful that I lost the weight…. but not sure what my “look” is. Like I almost feel guilty for wanting to be pretty.
I hope this made sense!
Love to you all,
Janet…. mamato11 in Texas 🙂
“I almost feel guilty for wanting to be pretty.” I relate to that feeling. To some extent, it doesn’t matter what we look like – our value as individuals is not increased or decreased by the way we appear. But it absolutely does make a difference in how we feel. I honestly feel like I was divinely directed to this system. I had this desire to create a personal style that was unique to me without being really “out there”, but also without adhering heavily to trends – they just change too quickly! I recognized this beautiful sense of personal style in other people, but instinctively knew when I saw other people wear things that certain things would not work for me, and so I just muddled along doing my best. But finding this program has been such a joy for me, and particularly a blessing for some members of my family that I’ve shared it with, that I felt like it was just the Lord showing me that He cares about even the most seemingly insignificant desires of our hearts. Following these guidelines, and actually applying them in my life does honestly help me show up and share my gifts with my family and friends. It’s amazing what a little self-care and self-validation can do for a person! Don’t feel guilty – feeling pretty in such a very honest way will be a blessing to you and all those that you influence.
Thank you for sharing that with me Rachael. It was beautiful and I was blessed by it. What type are you? Was it difficult for you to type yourself?
Hugs,
Janet
“Wanting to be pretty” is, I would say, a natural and healthy way to honor ourselves. My experience is that, when I feel pretty, my energy is stronger and more radiant, and I can engage with other people in a different, more self-confident and balanced way that makes the relationship easier:-) I also feel better in my body. It’s a whole, I’d say.
I imagine (perhaps wrongly) that, being so busy looking after your family, you feel at some level that you are not entitled to taking a little time away for yourself. When my kids were young(er), it really helped me to stay balanced to do (small) things for myself, which was good for the family as well…
Have you been able to find out your energy type so far? It helps to take small steps, one at a time, in the direction of “feeling pretty”. And the more you “get it”, the more you “want it”:-)
Thank you so much Colette. I thought at first that I was a 2. So much that I ordered the Type 2 course. Now after more reading, watching Carol’s videos… I’m honestly more confused than ever. I know she doesn’t have time to type everyone but I so wish she would give me 5 minutes of her time and type me. It would save me a lot of frustration and confusion. I’m about ready to forget the whole thing and just live life.
But the glimmer of hope I have is what is keeping me on…….
Blessings to you,
Janet
Dear Janet, I can feel with you because, although I was lucky to know straightaway what my type was, I had a rough time discovering my secondary. Why do you think you mistyped yourself? What could help you is to take a picture of yourself with hair back and to watch videos in which Carol reveals to women what energy type they are by pointing out their characteristic features. You could then follow on your own picture (there are many such videos on her Facebook page).
Have a great day :-))
Colette
Hello Colette, I was thinking I am either a type 1 or 2. I tried out wearing some type 2 clothing (which I like, except the silver jewelry… I prefer gold). I felt very tired and drained. So then I thought maybe I’m a type 1. But my daughter was thinking maybe I’m a type 3 or 4. I truly feel as though I’m back to square 1.
I think I’m also typing myself partially by my behaviour/preferences rather than my face.
Still unsure……
Blessings,
Janet
Hi Janet – your hesitations might be characteristic of a type 1:-)…
Hey Colette… who knows! I often hesitate and over think MANY things. 🙂
Hi, Janet. My feelings mirror yours. It’s so frusterating. I saw you posted this many months ago: have you settled on a type?
Hello Emily! I’m just now seeing this. So very sorry! And yes, I am a T1. Not sure what my secondary is, to be honest. I’m having a difficult time settling in to myself and my energy. I feel as though it is foolish. I’m a work in progress. 🙂
What I love most about Type 2 makeovers is the difference even a small amount of makeup can create. We 2s are so easily overwhelmed by most of the products out there that many of us don’t even bother. Either way, we end up looking dead. But notice how the right tones of lipstick and blush, especially, create pure magic on Marlaine, bringing out her lovely eyes and making her look present yet relaxed and peaceful. Type 2 beauty at its best!
This must be the best makeover yet! Marlaine is beautiful–yes, the cut makes all the difference!
Love that haircut and your whole casual elegant look, Marlaine.
I struggled with my hair my whole life. As hairstyle trends changed, I tried SO hard to get my hair to do this or that, and always failed. It doesn’t respond to heat styling AT ALL. Straight-ish, heavy, flat but still frizzy hair that was thick not because the strands were thick, but because I have so darn many of them! So I had the worst aspects of thick AND thin hair.
I finally learned to do my hair when I was 30, by following what my hair wants, not the current hairstyles. And it is wild and messy! I wear it long now, and layer it, and wrap it up in a tee shirt not a towel which reduces frizz. Guess what? It’s not straight. It doesn’t have to be frizzy or weird. I admit it is UNIQUE and doesn’t look like anyone else’s hair. And it’s perfect. I wish I had followed my hair’s own path as a young person; I’d be so much farther today in my personal hair journey.
She looks wonderful. I love that she went shorter with her hair. I am also a T2 who grew my hair longer to try to have flowing locks but Because of my hair’s texture and quantity I cut it back off and I love it so much more.
Marlaine is SO gorgeous!!! I love her hair (I want that style!) and now her beautiful eyes just shine. I can see the T2 in them! I was voted “shyest” in high school and I hated that term. I was always quieter and gentle (though I’m a T1!) and even though I was performing in front of the whole high school in Drill Team or giving speeches in Church about my mission trips, the label somehow stuck. I think what came across was just that I was afraid of being hurt because I had parents who were very hurtful growing up. I never let my own children say that they were shy growing up because it is such a negative term and I think it keeps you from trying to be brave and conquering your fears. I’ve definitely done that and never consider myself shy anymore. I realized I was a T1 because I go up to people in new situations and introduce myself in an animated way compared to the lovely T2 ladies and I can’t contain my happy energy!
Im crying…Type 2 SAHM over here too ( I think – new to all this)
I wonder if her secondary is a 4? She seems like maybe she has the double introvert energy. Love her make-over, she’s beautiful!
I thought so, too.
I love how the makeovers make you see the whole person. I notice her eyes!
I love the affirmation that “I do know what I am doing!”
<3!!!! Holy cow! Amazing. LOVE that hair. So very beautiful and becoming on her. LOVE!!
What a gorgeous transformation! As much as I absolutely love the hair(!!) I must say, what really struck me in the ‘after’ were Marlene’s beautiful eyes! I hadn’t noticed them before.
I had a quite different experience with the word “shy”. It wasn’t a bad thing. It was just a thing. So I don’t mind the word. I love her hair. I’m a T2 with fine, thin hair and always try a longer look before chopping it short in frustration!. My hair is now starting to curl a little in the back (stick straight in front), and I’m thinking about going for one of the newer, gentle perms that would give me soft curls with very little maintenance, because I hate doing my hair.
Marlaine looks stunning!
I have fine hair as well but a lot of it. I love it! This makeover is great. I lover her hair! I’m so glad they kept the color close to natural. She looks great.
