Timeless Up-Do with Lace Headband

You may have noticed that I LOVE quick, up-do hairstyles.

And I also
LOVE high, full buns.



This one is a combination of our celebrity ponytail and sock bun. It's also the tutorial we promised you on how to 

wear the lace headband we made.



I hope you love it as much as I do. Sock buns work on short hair too. Just get a baby-sized sock and cut the toe off.

Textured Knot

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I can't wait to show you this new look, which has first appeared at the Band Of Outsiders fall 2013 show. This artfully rumpled style has been created by Duffy, a beauty expert. I've found this tutorial ( well, more like, a video) on Vogue.com on its top 10 stories from this week. I must say that this fashion season will be mostly marked by a little more classier and sleeaker hairstyles, but nevermind, because this is a great mixture of messy and classy! And even though this is a very casual style, it's the texture of the hair that makes it so exceptional!

Easter Hairstyle: Woven Ribbon Bun

I love having a fancy hairstyle to match a new Easter dress.

And I think
this one is beautiful.



It wasn't hard, either.

You just need some ribbon (your choice of colors and widths) and a bobby pin to thread it through the hair.



We got a ton of compliments when she wore it today.

Happy Easter

Easter Basket of Eggs

We got our Easter eggs out to get ready for
our hunt this weekend and Lanie really wanted to try a hairstyle that used 
the bright and fun Easter eggs. 



Here's the basket of eggs we designed.

She has short and thin hair. If yours is thicker and longer, 

this will work even better.

Happy Easter

Tree Sap! Help!

So Lanie decided to climb a pine tree.
 

She had a lot of fun, and got fairly high. 

But she also got a quarter-sized glob of tree sap in her hair.



I tried everything to get it out:  olive oil, dish soap, peanut butter. The thing that finally did the trick was Vaseline. I had to use 2-3 TBLS and brush it in with a toothbrush.



The sap came out, but I couldn't get the greasy Vaseline out

Waterfalled Lace Braid

I have my first track meet this week and
I'm excited.

My relay team is the fastest so far.



I haven't had enough time to master the hurdles yet, so I'm doing mostly sprints. But it's taking up a lot of my time and leaving me little left over to film hairstyles. 

I hope you'll bear with me and keep coming back. 

I promise I haven't forgotten about you guys.



This cool hairstyle is just

Linking Chain

This is my signature hairstyle. 



I stumbled onto this unique do one day while playing with twists in my hair, and it turned into this. 

It's become one of my favorites.



Everyone asks me how to do the Linking Chain. 

And the secret is:



It's as easy as tying a knot.

But it's only half a knot, so it's even easier.

If you can twist one strand over another -- you've got this.

Good

Braided Fish-tails

Here's a fish tale for you:



Tuna fish is one of my favorite foods. 

My friends know
this about me. 

So when I turned twelve, they all got me cans of tuna for a present. 



I probably got thirty cans. 



What twelve year old wants tuna for a gift?

I guess I did.



Just mix it with light Miracle Whip and chopped sweet pickles on bread. Mmm, mmm. Nothin' better.

How to: Lace Flower Headband

Here's a fun hairstyle craft that cost approximately $2.
 

You can't beat that!



I got the lace flowers at Walmart in the fabric section.  You just buy it by the yard.  I bought it as long as 3 flowers.  They have all kinds of fancy appliqués if you don't want flowers.



I think it turned out beautifully.  

We'll post a coordinating hairstyle next time.



Here's what you'll need:

Braided Hair Flowers

I'm quite certain the groundhog saw his shadow.

But again
I woke up to a fresh layer of snow. 

I can't see spring creeping in any time soon.



I guess that's alright. More sledding time. But I have to get creative with my hair. I never want to go to the effort of curls on a wet day.



So here's a quick and fancy hairstyle that doesn't matter if it gets wet. Give it a try.

Adding Body to Thin Hair: Blow Dryer & Round Brush

We always get asked for hairstyles that work for 

SHORT and THIN hair.


So voila!

Blow drying with a round brush adds a ton of height and 

body to ordinarily thin and clingy hair.



Don't get me wrong. It also works on thick and long hair too. 



The nice thing is that it: 

straightens 

adds curl

adds body

It's wonderful



I try not to do it too often because blow drying is
