Braided Mini Ponytail Hairstyle Instructions!
Hello!
Today’s video is a tutorial which was requested from an outfit post that I did a little while ago.
This style is a small overhead braid ending in a mini ponytail.
Basic knowledge of how to braid will be needed for this tutorial.
Grab a section of hair from the top of your head and pin out of the way.
Tie the rest of your hair out of the way so it doesn’t get caught up.
Pin your fringe too and then release the top section.
Take a small section from the top on one side and begin the braid.
Continue the braid all the way over to the other side of the head until you run out of hair.
Keep the sections fairly loose so they are a bit puffy.
You don’t want it to sit too flat on the head otherwise it will be too hard to see.
Tie it up into a ponytail.
unpin and brush out the rest of your hair.
In the outfit of the day video this is from, I wore it with a front quiff but it’s just as cute with it down.
I like to add a flower for a spring look.
You can also pull the braid out a bit more to make it even puffier.
I think braids like this work best with slightly unwashed hair or you can use some sea salt spray to give them texture and make them super puffy.
Done!
This style is very cute for summer or winter but I prefer it in the warmer months.
I hope this was a useful video. Please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and a photo tutorial.
Thanks so much for watching!

First up my favorite video of all time because it features Miss Lottie!
This tutorial has been requested for aaaages and honestly I’m not sure why I didn’t do it earlier, it’s so easy XD So here’s my all time favorite hairstyle, the big curly one sided thing… it really needs a catchier name -_-‘
This week I played with the first set of Kiss Nail Stickers which were given to me by the lovely Sefie! I preferred these to the other vinyl ones I’ve tried which had a tendency to peel off and the designs are very blingy 😀
Following on form Zombies last week, here is the behind the scenes video! It’s pretty funny, well the dancing is XD This is what usually happens on our photo shoots haha!

Curly One Sided Hairstyle Instructions
Hello! Today’s tutorials has been one of my most requested styles.
The big one sided up do curly thingamajig.
Start by applying heat protector and brushing it completely through the hair.
Use whatever method you prefer to curl the ends of your hair. I personally prefer either a straightener or a mini straightener.
Time fast forward to completely curled hair!
Clip your fringe away so it doesn’t get in the way of what we’re going to do next.
Flip your head over and lightly brush the hair straight over the head to the other side.
Pin it in place at the back so the curls stay over the one side.
I prefer to brush very lightly so I don’t remove any volume as it comes over.
Pin it at the top here too.
Bring a handful of curls up to the top and pin them in a bunch at the top of the head.
You’re pinning them over the top of the place you first pinned if that makes sense.
For extra side volume, grab bunches of the curls and pin them to the side of the head.
This style turns out a bit different every single time because it’s very unpriced.
Hairspray the whole thing in place and if you need to puff it up, you can tease the underside.
Now just curl the ends of your fringe under so they sit well with the rest of the look.
Add a pretty bunch of flowers, a bow or something else to decorate and you’re all finished.
One of my all time favorite hair styles and it’s much easier to do than it looks!
I really love styles like this, they look so complicated.
But I’m a very lazy person and I like to sleep in so the less effort the better.
Hopefully that explained it all fairly clearly.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the descriptions for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching!

First up we have a Halloweenish Zombie video! It’s an Outfit Of The Day and the outfit is a little plain but there’s a Celina shaped Zombie in the background 😀 Seriously go check out her blog/channel because she’s got an awesome video on the make up!
And next is something slightly more… traditional? Mermaid waves! These were quite popular last year but I’m still seeing people wearing them especially in wig form. This version is quick and doesn’t require a crimper which is good!
And then here’s a vlog from the day we went to the pier to film some videos together!
The lovely Seffie gave me these cute nail stickers so I decided to give them a try! They are thicker than some of the other stickers I’ve tried but they stuck a lot better too. It’s not really a full tutorial but I’ve been filming my nails as I grow them out slowly! .

Kiss nail art sticker instructions.
Kiss nails are another brand of those popular nail stickers.
Stick them on quickly, have a cute design for a while and then peel them off with very little effort.
Pick the closest fit for your nail, peel off the sticker.
Press on to the nail starting at the middle and smoothing outwards so there are no air bubbles.
The instructions say to rile off the excess but I found this to be very time consuming.
Instead I opted to snip the extra with some clippers then file the edge a little bit.
The 3D designs that come with these make them a little more interesting than some of the other nail stickers I’ve seen recently.
And that’s it, just repeat on every single nail.
So I think this is a great option for those who don’t have time to do their own nail art.
There’s no drying time which is great.
And there’s no chance of bumping it later.
And if you need to, you can easily just peel it off for school or work later with no fuss at all.
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.

Mermaid Waves Without A Crimper Hairstyle Instructions.
Today’s hair tutorial is all about getting those mermaid style mini waves without having to use a crimper.
Brush you hair and add some head protector.
Divide each half into top and bottom sections.
Clip the top one away.
Tightly plait the section all the way to the bottom.
You can do this with a crimper too but it’s quicker this way.
You can also vary the size of the waves by plaiting smaller or larger sections of hair.
Tie off the end with a band.
Repeat for the other sections.
Look at my super awesome speed.
Enjoy your moment as a 1990’s alternative rock star.
Then back to reality.
Slowly run the heated straightener down each plait a couple of times.
The heat will set the hair in that position.
After the have cooled, untie the plaits and unravel them.
You should see they are all wiggly now.
If your hair is hard to style you can add some hair spray too.
To make the hair fluffier, give it a brush through and fluff it out with your fingers.
The non heat version of this is to plait it and then leave it in overnight.
This style is cute with a bow or an usamimi up top.
Cute and very mermaid style.
