Short Hair Retro Curly Updo Instruction.
Hello!
Meet Stef, she has short hair and it totally awesome.
Today we’re trying out a curly style with a retro flare to it.
Start by loosely curling the hair all over.
This is really a look in itself.
You can add a cute alice band and you’re good to go!
Grab a small section of hair at the top of the head.
Twist it once and the base and flick the ends forward.
Pin it in place and it becomes a small pouf.
The curls are really important to this because they give it so much more volume.
Repeat with another section right behind the first.
And then one more behind that.
From the side you can see that it makes a soft messy updo style.
Make sure to leave some longer drapey bits down to soften the look.
To complete the look tie a chiffon scarf around the base.
The key to keeping it on is to not tie it too tightly.
Pin it if you need to and that’s done!
Taadaa!
Special thanks to Stef for being my awesome model/victim for the day.

How To Get The Perfect Bun With A DIY Hair Donut Instructions.
A while ago I made a DIY hair donut, here are two of my favorite ways to use it for the perfect shaped buns!
Both versions start with a high ponytail.
Number 1!
Wrap the donut or sausage around the ponytail base tightly.
Fluff the ponytail out so it completely covers the donut in all directions like this and brush it smooth.
Place a stretchy elastic band over the whole thing.
Hairspray it smooth.
Take the ends and wrap them around the band.
You can plait the ends or even push them up and back into the middle of the donut again if you like.
Done!
Very simple and easy to do.
Version 2.
Pull the ponytail forward and place the donut under it.
Start rolling upwards.
Spread the hair out along the sausage as you go.
When you get to the top, curl the whole thing around the base of the ponytail.
Fluff it around the back to cover the join.
Hairspray and add an accessory.

Thanks so much for watching.

How To Use Baking Soda As Dry Shampoo

A quick video on how I use baking soda in between washes as a cheap and effective dry shampoo. It’s kinda messy but it works well and of course you would wash it all out when you wash your hair regularly! The lights make my hair extra shiny looking at the end so I probably should have used a bit more this time XD

How To Use Baking Soda As Dry Shampoo Instructions
Morning!
Today I’ll show you how I deal with oily roots in between washes: baking soda.
My hair takes a long time to dry so I can’t always wash it when I want to.
In between washes if I have oily roots I use baking sode as a dry shampoo.
Easy and cheap!
Using it couldn’t be simpler.
Pour some of the powder into your hair.
Sprinkle it through your hair concentrating at the roots.
The baking soda acts as a dry shampoo and soaks up all fo the oils.
Best to do this over a sink so it doesn’t get everywhere and make a mess.
A tip from James:
Don’t let your partner kiss the top of your head because apparently it tastes horrible and he will complain about it for days.
Don’t forget the sides and back too!
Wait a few minutes for it to soak everything up.
Baking soda can also give some extra texture too.
Brush all fo the powder out.
This might take a bit longer if you have darker hair.
Taadaa!
Not as clean as just washed hair but good enough to style and go out.

Thanks so much for watching.

Simple Pull Through Ponytail Hair Style Instructions.
Today’s style is a nice twist (pun totally intended) on a simple ponytail.
This style was really popular when I was in primary school.
First put your hair in a high ponytail.
Pull the elastic down a bit and split the hair under it in half with your fingers.
You need to make a hole there.
Flip the ponytail forward and then pull it through the hole you made last step.
Pull the elastic a little tighter so it’s secure.
So one more time for the detail.s
Pull the elastic out a bit.
Make a hole above the elastic by splitting the hair into two sections.
Poke your fingers through.
Flip the hair forward and pull it through the hole that you made.
So basically what you have is a ponytail which looks as if it was made from two twists.
From the back it looks like this.
It can take a little practice to get it to sit the way you want but the result is worth it.
Add a stylish bow to the top and you’ve got a pretty alternative to a regular ponytail.

Messy Side Bun Hair Style Instructions
This style is another variation on the messy curled buns I’ve bene in love with lately.
Start by pinning your fringe out of the way.
Take a very small section of hair at the front top and twist it backwards and away from your face tightly.
After you twist a little, grab the section of hair below it and twist that in too.
Take a bobby pin and slide it inside the twist and close to the scalp so it holds the whole twist in place.
Continue twisting backwards while you add other sections of hair as you go.
You should start aiming the twist towards you ear.
Every few twists add another pin to hold it in place.
Once you reach just behind your ear add a final pin and move on to the next step.
Brush the non-twisted side of your hair over to the twist side.
Pin it in place.
Clip the already twisted hair up and out of the way for the moment.
Fluff up the rest of the hair with your fingers to give it some volume.
Take the top half of the hair and scrunch it up to the side of your head.
The curls will form loops and interesting structures.
Pin it all in place.
Make sure not to cover the original twist.
Do the same with the bottom half too. I find that rather than scrunching this section I like to fold it to form a loop with the ends hanging down.
Again, pin it in place.
Unclip the twisted part of the hair and fold/scrunch that up to where the twist ends.
Then… you guessed it, pin in place.
And that’s all there is to it, a gigantic relaxed side bun which looks quite impressive but really didn’t take much effort at all.
This style looks great with some ribbons or lace threaded through.
Perfect for Spring or Summer.

Mini Bow Hairstyle Instruction
I love bow style hair but sometimes the big ones can be a bit much!
Here’s a simple mini bow.
Grab a section of hair from the top of your head and brush it to one side.
This technique is all about making loops of hair with the elastic so you need a pretty stretchy one.
Mine can go over 4 times… so I wrapped it twice before starting the bow.
Pull the hair through again but this time only a few inches so it’s a loop.
Twist the elastic and pull the hair through again for another loop.
Taadaa you have bow loops.
Now flip them so they face the right way.
And pin them in place.
So one more time in case you missed it.
You should end up with something like this.
To hide the band use a flower or some kind of clip.
You can also split up the tail so it curls on both sides like ribbon tails.
Sweet and cure but not too over the top.
