Start with clean hair and brush out any knots.

Using your finger or a pin start sectioning a piece of hair starting from the top of your ear and moving backwards.

Clip it up and out of the way:

Underneath that and just behind the ear take a small section of hair:

Plait that section ^_^

Use a pin or a hair tie to keep it from coming loose for the moment.

Now on the other side of your head take a section near the top and pin it out of the way:

Plait another section under that and secure the end  ^_^

Now with the first plait you made pull it over the top of your head like so:

Pin it on place like this:

Using the second plait make a loop:

Continue with the loop so it turns into a figure 8. Here you can either make it really tight so it looks like a bow or looser so it looks like a heart when it’s finished:

Pin it in place and cover the pins using a flower or another decoration:

Now you can unclip all of the sections you pulled back and fluff them up. You should have something like this:

Finished!

From one side:

And the other:

From here you could curl the rest of your hair for a more dressy look or leave it straight or wavy ^_^

Depending on what else you’re wearing at the time this can either be a really dressed up style or nice and casual!

Plait each section like this and tie the ends. You might need to experiment with plaiting overhand and underhand to see what looks best in the finished product because it can affect the way the plait sits on your head. I find that overhand works best on me.

Now take one plait and pull it upwards.

And over the side of your head:

Hold it very securely with your fingers and remove the hair tie.

Roughly pin it in place using the bobby pins. It doesn’t need to be perfect because this is just to hold it while we work with the rest ^_^

Now grab your other plait and pull it upwards too:

Hold it over the top so it crossed over and covers the end of the first plait. You probably won’t be able to get this one as far over your head as the first one because it has to go over a lump. As long as it reaches the half way point it’s fine though.

Hold it in place and remove the hair tie.

Now using a pin catch a small amount of the first plait:

Pull the pin over the end of the second plait (still holding the little bit of the first one) and push it back the way it came but underneath. Kind of like you’re following the line of a “U”. This is the most secure way to use bobby pins and they won’t just slide back out!

So when you’re done it will look a little like this and most of the ends of the plait will be hidden.

You should repeat this in a couple of the bumps of the plaits on both sides and front and back. If you do that then the ends will all be incased and nothing will be going anywhere 😀

Decoration is the key to not looking like a milk maid so I generally choose flowers and cover the back ^_^ The extra pins always help keep everything in place too. If you don’t want to use flowers then I also like pining pearls or little diamantes etc. Very cute!

Lastly it’s time to straighten your fringe or whatever you want to do with it!

From the side it looks a little messy because I didn’t push the flower pins in far enough but you get the general idea!

Finished!

Nice and cool for Summer and very versatile for different styles!

What you need for double hair buns:

• Brush
• Bobby Pins
• 2 Hair Ties
• Any decorations you want, I’m using leopard print bows I made ^_^

First brush your hair so it’s nice and free of tangles. Divide it into two sections on either side of your head.

Take the first section and make a really high pony tail on the side of your head. I tend to turn my head upside down so I can get it extra high.

This is what we’re aiming for:

Now take a minute to relive your childhood fantasy of being one of the Spice Girls. Please don’t make me feel old by telling me you don’t know who they are >_<‘

Back to it! Take one of the piggy tails and tease the hell out of it.

Mwahaha you’re ready for a night on the town!

Ok seriously hair spray all over your piggy tail.

Hold on to the very end of it and twist it towards the front a few times.

Now let’s make a bun out of it! Following the twist you just made, curl the bun around the base of the pig tail. Don’t do it too tightly or else you’ll squish all the teasing you just did.

Get your bobby pins ready to pin the ends in place. Should look something like this:

Using the pins secure the ends into your head. Don’t make the mistake of just pining towards the middle, you need to make sure you are actually pinning to the hair which is not part of the bun to give it a good anchor.

Once it’s fairly secure you can squish the bun into the shape you want. If you find bits sticking up out of the middle, just carefully stick a pin in towards the middle.

Repeat on the other side and then add hairspray.

Time for decorations! I’m using two leopard print hair bands that I made, but you can use anything from flowers to tiaras!

Because the bows are on bands I just pull it over the top of the bun

And taadaaa! We’re all done ^_^

This style is really great for summer because it’s totally cute but it still gets the hair off of your neck!

Hope you enjoyed and let me know if any of you guys try your own double hair buns!

Things you need for this particular cute hair tutorial 😉

• Hair spray
• Brush
• Bobby pins
• Curl enhancer spray/curling water etc
• Hot rollers and clips
• 2 hair ties
• Whatever you need to do a hime style pouf

So how long does your hair need to be for this style? I think that as long as you can manage the hime pouf yours should be long enough, really even with shoulder length hair you could do it, it would just look more like two fluffy balls ^_^
My hair has gotten quite long over the last year so I’m happy! Haha by the time I can afford extensions I won’t need them anymore *_*

To start with, you should do a standard hime style pouf. If you need a tutorial on that take a look over here!I’ve been thinking of doing an updated tutorial on hime style hair which is more detailed but I have so many other posts waiting to be posted that it will have to wait a while.

First step is to brush out the hair that is left down.

Separate your hair into two even sections on either side of your head. I just do it loosely so I can make sure everything is even.

After you are satisfied with the sections put them in higher pony tails just above and behind your ears. It should sit just below where the pouf starts like this:

Taadaa! Add a bow and this by itself is a cute hair style!

Plug in your hot rollers and allow them to heat up. Mine are Vidal Sasson and they’re super nice.

Starting from the back, take the section of hair which is the tail of your hime pouf and apply your curl spray. I am using one by Tresemme which I find works quite well.

Give it a quick brush through and roll it up with a small roller ^_^

Clip it into place being very careful not to put the weight on the pouf as you might destroy the hard work you already did!

Now take the next section from the front and repeat the process.

If you have a lot of different sized rollers like mine you should use the smaller ones at the front and bigger at the back.

This is what you should end up with when you’ve used up all of the hair…

Repeat on the other side!

Done!

Now hairspray the hell out of both sides.

Wait for the rollers to cool completely. It takes around 20 minutes, I used the opportunity to catch up with you all on Twitter 😉

When they’re completely cool start undoing the rollers.

You should start from the bottom and work upwards.

Again if you added a few bows this would be a cute style in itself ^_^

Again spray the hell out of all the curls! No such thing as too much spray!

Ok now the fun part! Pick a curl randomly and use your brush to tease it. To get the correct effect you should hold a small section of the curl and use the brush to slide the rest of the curl upwards.

This technique allows you to keep most of the length but the curls are really obvious and fluffy.

See the difference between normal curls on the left and teased curls on the right?

Repeat on both sides to all the curls and add more hairspray. Again you could just wear it like this with a few more bows XD This is like a tutorial with 5 different styles depending on how much time you’ve got hahaha!

So that looks pretty cute but what we really want is to make the pig tails higher, hide the hair bands and give it even more volume. So have your bobby pins at the ready!

Grab your pony tail and pull it upwards.

Hold it to the side of your head straight up.

Using the bobby pins you should pin the hair roughly 3cm above the hair tie. You will need a couple of pins to hold it all. You should be pinning it just higher than the start of your pouf. Make sure to do it securely because this is what’s going to be holding up all your hair!

When you drop down the hair again it should look like this:

The hair has much more volume and looks more fluid because it looks like it’s part of the pouf ^_^

This is what the back looks like, you can easily cover the pins with a big bow. Also you should probably do a better job of parting your hair in a straight line than I did ;P

And the side:

Finished!

Hopefully you all found this helpful, once you get the hang of it, it’s a really easy style to do.

Let me know if you want another cute hair tutorial like this!
