Hair bow!

Hair bow!!

      When I first started getting into hair doing and hairstyles, I watched YouTube videos. One of my first was ones was a hair bow! It looked so cool and I had to try it! Start with non-tangly hair. Put it in a loooooose ponytail. When you are done, take the last part of the ponytail holder and make it so you are going to make it tighter, but instead make it into a bun type thing. This is what it should look like (the second half of the picture). make sure the extra hair is in the front  this will be on the top of your hair.

       This is when you do the bow. Split the loop bun in half and put the not included in the bun in the middle of it. Pin it down an tuck it into the ponytail part of it. Bobby pin it all down and spray it with hairspray! Make sure it is stiff and you are done! Here's what it looks like!!!

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 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!!!

Bun style

     This week, I want to tell you about this cool bun style I found when I was in Hawaii. I don't know what it is called, but it looks like well, it's hard to explain. So I tried it out, and it works great. First, put your hair in a ponytail on the middle of your head. Make sure it is tight. Take one fourth of the ponytail and roll it like it's a loop that could stay up on your head. Do that with each fourth, and put it like a plus sign. Use a lot of bobby pins for this. It works better for medium- short hair. I cant find a great picture. I don't know what to search. Hmmm... :( 

Curling irons

Curling Irons

     There are many types of curling irons. Each one has a different style. There are wands (my personal favorites). They make perfect ringlets. They can be big or small it depends on how big the piece of hair you use is. Wands don't have clips, so it is a really big danger of burning your hand. I hurt my hand about 3 weeks ago, and it is still there. What  you do is you take a piece of hair and hold the curling iron upside down. Wrap the piece of hair around it. If you want it tighter, then you should  hold it longer. Smaller pieces of hair will make tighter curls.Another one is the regular one, with the clip. This is good for more formal occasions. You should use a medium size piece of hair. Put it in the clip and wrap it around. I would hold it longer for tighter curls. It looks really good with waterfall braids. Don't forget to finish with hairspray!

Wavy hair

Wavy hair



     Lately, I noticed wavy hair has become popular. I may be wrong, but lots of people are wearing it these days. There's a secret to doing it. The secret doesn't involve heat. you can use a waving iron, but this way looks much more natural. This hairstyle requires two hairties and wet hair or a spaybottle. To do this you need to know how to french braid. This looks nice when you take it out of the braids. You do not have to be a master at french braids, but if you don't know how, then I reccomend a waving iron.

     The first thing you want to do is make sure your hair is damp. If you have just taken a shower, then you want to let you hair dry a little bit. If it is soaking wet it will still be wet when you take it out. If your hair is dry, then spray it thoroughly. Start by sectioning your hair into two. French braid pigtails into your hair. I like to do it at night and sleep on it. When I take it out it looks great. The braids don't have to look good at all. When you take them out you will have a cute hairstyle. Check out my ustream video, it will be up tomorrow! I'll put a link on here next week.
