Curly ponytail/bun

Curly Ponytail/ Bun

     Today I will show you how to do a curly ponytail. I think that it looks really good as a casual hairstyle. It might even look good with fancy braids or regular braids. A good accessory with it is a headband. As you all know the holidays are coming up and a good way to spread the holiday cheer is to wear holiday accessories. Good luck finding a Hanukah hair pin. I like it all dressed up with accessories, but if the ponytail isn’t tight, it won’t look right. Make sure your hair is straight. It can even be a little wavy, it just can’t be curly. Brush your hair thoroughly. Make sure there aren’t any tangles in it. A good way to keep your hair from damaging is to use heat protecting spray. It keeps your hair healthy and nice looking and protects it from further damage. One your hair is back and tight, you want to brush out the actual ponytail so it is smooth. The curling iron you want to use for this is a wrap around one without the clip. It will take a while depending on how big you want the curls. This hairstyle makes your hair look thicker and fuller. Take a small to medium piece of hair and wrap it around the curling iron. Hold it for a long time or until curled to perfection. Repeat throughout the whole ponytail. Make sure that there are no stray pieces or else it looks really weird. AHA I thought of another good way to do your hair from this. Once you are done with the ponytail, twist it loosely and wrap it into a bun. It is kind of a formal look. I like the curly bun, it is kind of an updo. It will look good for dances and formal parties.

katniss

    Katniss braid
      I've been seeing a lot of people wearing a new hairstyle a lot lately. If you have seen the Hunger Games movie then you will understand. Katniss is the main character and she was put in the hunger games. Her signature hairstyle of the movie is the Katniss braid. It is an inverted side braid. It looks great as a casual style. For this hairstyle you need a hair tie and maybe a few bobby pins to hold the flyaways.

     To start, choose one side of your head and take a smallish section of your hair. Start French braiding it, but instead of bringing each third in front of the others braid the opposite way, under the others. Do that until no hair is left and you are on the other side. Finish it with a normal side braid. It can be accessorized with a flower or a bow. It makes more sense when you see it!

Wavy curly hair

Easy ways to make your hair look good in the morning

I really like to do different hairstyles each day for a while. I almost always wear my hair down  I noticed that there isn't always a lot you can do with your hair down. I like braids, but they get old. So I decided I really like wavy hair. Wavy meaning curly but not. Not the kind of wavy when you braid it. You want to start by making sure your hair is slightly damp. If you have just showered then let it dry for a while. If your hair is dry then you want to spray it with some water. Next thing to do is find a clip like one with teeth. Start taking small pieces of hair and twisting them. Hold it or put it in the clip. You don't have to do it in layers. One thing to remember is that your hair should be brushed and not tangly. Twist small pieces all the way around your head. Put them in the clip on the top of your head. I like to do it at night so I can sleep on it. Take them out and run your hand through them in the morning and your hair will look great! Don't forget to use hairspray!!!
