Hair Tutorial: Braided Half Updo

Hi Ladies!
Here is a cool hair tutorial by Lilith Moon. I would consider this a little easier than the Greek Goddess Updo. For more tutorials check out her you tube page http://www.youtube.com/user/lilithedarkmoon?feature=watch .

What do you think of this hairstyle? Too funky or just the right amount of punk?

Hair Tutorial:Fishtail, Dutch, and 4 Strand Braid

Pop Sugar Beauty Braid Tutorial

Hi Ladies,

 Here is a quick tutorial video that I found on the Pop Sugar Beauty Blog that I wanted to share. It shows how to create three different types of braids: the fishtail, the dutch braid, and the 4 strand braid. I loved their video because it was simple and to the point. Check out their blog or you tube page for more beauty related videos, tips, etc.

I love braiding my hair on workdays that I just really don't feel like straightening or curling it. They are quick, cute, and you can find ways to dress them up. You may not get some of these braids on the first try but practice makes perfect. 

However, a little advice....do not try new hairstyles for the first time while you are getting ready for work in the morning. I am almost always running late when I do this and end up with a simple pony when the hairstyle doesn't come out right. Practice on the weekend or the night before.

Hair Tutorial: Half Up Half Down Bow

Here is another bow hairdo. This is easier than the last bow tutorial. 

This only has 5 steps. 

1. Grab hair from each side of your head and pull back like you are doing a half up half down hairdo.

2.When tying the ponytail, wrap the elastic around 3 or 4 times and on the last time leave a bump with a tail on the end.

3. Take the bump and separate it down the middle.

4. Take the tail of the pony and wrap it around the middle of the bump to create the center of the bow and pin the end where it is hidden.  You can either wrap the whole tail around the middle or wrap half and leave the rest hanging.

5. Lastly, puff out each side of the bow to make it look full.

Hair Tutorial: Greek Goddess Updo

Here is a cute hair tutorial that would look great with a fancy dress for a wedding as well as with a blazer and jeans for a casual day out. I would consider this a moderate to hard hairsyle as the braiding underneath could get a little tricky.

Hair Tutorial: Bow Updo

Here is a cute and quirky hair bow updo. It may be a little tough for people that can't french braid.

There are basically 4 steps. 

1. You start by making a french braid starting from the nape of your neck upwards. 

2. Next gather the hair into a ponytail. Once you wrap the elastic around the third or 4th time leave a bump sticking up with the remainder of our hair hanging in a ponytail.

3. Take the bump you created and part it in half. Next, take half of the hair left out and wrap it in around the middle of the separated bump and pin.

4. Lastly, take the rest of the left over hair and wrap around the base of the bow, tie the hair in a knot, and pin.

Hair Tutorial-Boho Chic Ponytail

Hi Ladies,
This is a cute ponytail tutorial I got off  of Pinterest:

How To Do a Boho Chic Ponytail

Steps :

• 1 : Curl the top layer of hair with the rest of your hair messy/curly. Mine was kind of curling from no heat curls the night before.
• 2 : Tease your hair starting just past your bangs on top, back to where you will secure your ponytail
• 3 : Gather your hair in place where you want it, not tight at all, and secure with an elastic.
• 4 : Pull tight, then pull out strands as needed to create a “messy on purpose” type of look.
• 5 : Wrap an extra piece of hair around the elastic.
• 6 : And You’re done!

Products Worth Your While- Hot Buns

Hey Ladies,
Here is my review of hot buns:

 I saw the infomercial on tv a while back and decided to buy it and try it out. The directions in and on the box are pretty self explanatory. The kit comes with two size buns. Small and large. The small is a little too small for me personally but would work well with shorter or thin hair. The Hot Bun is a little tricky at first but once you get the hang of it its pretty simple.

Like any hair style, practice makes perfect. My buns take anywhere from 5-15 minutes depending on how anal I am that day. If you are good at not having bumps when putting your hair in a ponytail you should be good. That seems to be the hardest thing for me. A trick I have found helpful is to either wet your hair with a spray bottle (not your ponytail, only where you are pulling the hair back). Also, you can use a bristle brush and push all the bumps towards the elastic where your hair will be hidden. When I straighten my hair and don't wash it the next day, I tend to have an easier time with not having bumps around my ponytail.
