Vintage Rolled Updo Short Hair Instructions
Hello!
Meet Stef, she has short hair and it totally awesome.
Today we’re trying out vintage style twists.
First divide the hair in half.
Take a small section at the front and begin twisting it upward and backwards.
Take small sections of hair as you twist.
After a few twists, pin it to the scalp.
Push the pin from the back, forward into the twist you just made.
This will make it really secure.
Continue twisting small sections backwards until you reach the back.
If you do it evenly it will almost look like a braid.
And here’s a side view.
Repeat the twisting on the other side.
You can do this style with alost any length hair, you’ll just need more pins.
If it doesn’t feel sturdy, you need to add more pins.
At the back, pull the last part of the hair up.
Curl it around and then pin in place.
Hairspray any loose ends of leave them down for a fun messy look.
Special thanks to Stef for being my awesome model/victim for the day.

Quick Simple Quiff Hair Style Instructions
Today’s style is an easy pouf or quiff for your fringe.
This is a quick way to get your fringe out of your face.
Separate your fringe and pull it up.
This is the rough shape that we will make.
Hole it vertically and straighten upwards to give it some life.
Back comb the back side of it slightly to provide texture.
You can see the rough shape it will make from the side.
Fold it backwards and pin in place.
Smooth it into the right shape with your hands.
You can change the shape with your fingers or by twisting the end of the pouf.
Hairspray in place.
Straighten or style the rest of your hair.

I started these Guitar Hero modifications months ago. I finished James’ one straight away because it was super easy and he’s really not picky XD
Mine took a lot more thinking through. I wanted it to be over the top, what’s the point of rocking out if you can’t do it turned up to 11?
So result?
![]( "Jump")

And how did I do it?First up was the face place the same as James’. I removed it and covered it with some left over fabric from another project.
I hot glued all of the edges down and it was much more time consuming because of how stretchy the fabric was.
And from the other side it looks nice and neat 😀 I added a bow at this point too.
Back on the controller it looked ok but I thought there was much too much black.
Easy fix though, in came the acrylic paint.
Several coats of white later it had a decent base.
I then used pink. Unfortunately I picked a glitter paint which left it texturised. Not my favorite look but it kind of worked. This paint was much too see through so ended up going over it with nail polish for a shiny finish too.
Face plate back on after it dried and then I added some more bows and things… just because 😀
To carry it off you really need the attitude though!
Hurray! So now I’m waaay cuter than James when we play! Unfortunately the girl character choices are limited… so my rock alter ego looks kind of like a hooker >_<
And I will totally use my looks against him to win mwahahaha! Take that James!!!

Today we tried out using the VS Sassoon Big Styler. Stef really wants volume in her hair but her hair is so silky that even with teasing she doesn’t get the oomph she likes. So we gave it a try with mixed results!
We’ve got plenty of styles to try so if you have any requests let me know in the comments!

Short Hair With The Big Styler Instructions
Good morning!
Meet Stef, she has short hair and it totally awesome.
Today we’re trying out the VS Sassoon Big Hair Styler to see if it can give her the volume she loves.
First we used heat protector and sectioned the hair in half.
Take a small piece of hair and roll it around the brush.
Press the button to roll it up securely.
Sit for a few seconds then unroll.
Repeat until it’s the shape you want.
This tool heats and spins so it’s like using a blow dryer and a brush effort for uncoordinated people like me.
Continue working around the bottom layer of hair drying and curling it under.
For flicks, curl upwards.
Next, undo the top section and repeat the process.
To give more volume, hold the styler so the hair is straight up.
this will give lift at the roots.
I always pay special attention to the fringe because a styled fringe can make all the difference to the finished look.
After a quick brush through, that’s it!
Unfortunately Stef’s hair didn’t get much volume so we decided to get hardcore and sprayed through some volumiser.
Then we ran the styler through again.
The heat from the style sets the volumiser so make sure you get the styler close to the roots and pull the hair upwards.
That’s starting to look better!
It’s still very sleep because Stef has awesomely shiny and healthy hair but there’s definitely some good volume there!
Much more than when we started!
Special thanks to Stef for being my awesome model/victim for the day.

Guitar Hero! James is obsessed with it, he’s only had the PS3 since Christmas so he’s catching up on all the games he’s missed in the last few years including looking like a tool playing Guitar Hero 😀
But our controllers were second hand and had ugly Metalica stickers from their previous owner. Meh.
James requested a remake and I was happy to oblige!
![]( "Jump")

First I removed the face plate and laid it out on the fabric face down. I cut around it leaving a few cm around the edges.
Next went all round the edge and snipped it around the edges every few cm. This was so I could glue it flat around the curves.
One by one I folded the flaps over and hot glued them in place.
This is how it ended up, nice and clean!
I used the same technique to cut out the holes in the middle.
Done!
Lastly I used fabric glue to add little metal findings and bits and pieces to make it a bit more punk-rockish ^_^
So did James like it?
Apparently!
Tomorrow you’ll get to see what I did with mine 😀 |

Faux Mini Ponytail Hair Style Instructions
I really love the look for short curly ponytails but having long hair means I had to find a different way of doing it!
Start by curling the ends of your hair.
Pull it up into a high ponytail without disturbing the curl too much.
On the last loop of the elastic, don’t pull the hair all the way through.
Twist it to face the curls to the front and the loop to the back like this.
push the loop so it’s flush to your head and pin place.
Pin the curls to the scalp just in front of the hair band.
Flip the curls back over so they cover the loop and fluff them out.
Hairspray it all in place.
I love this style with a simple scarf wrapped around it.
Done! Too cute!
My loop shows through a bit more because of my pink ends.
If your hair is all one colour it will be less of course.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!
