And here are the written instructions!
Hello Besties!
I’ve been really sick so that’s why there haven’t been any videos but I’m better now so let’s rock this!
Today we are doing a pony tail with a poof!
You can start with fresh or curled hair,It doesn’t really matter but I’m starting with curled.
Grab a section of hair at the top and just pin it out of the way for the moment.
I’m sick of being sick! I’ve been off and on sick for the last couple of weeks and I can’t do voice-overs without a voice!
Brush the hair upwards into a high pony tail just like this.
You want it to sit just behind the pinned bit we created earlier.
The worst thing about being sick is cough medicine.
I could never be a spy because 15ml of cough medicine and I’ll sell out my country, family, goldfish, ANYTHING!!!
Now un-pin the front section and give it a brush forward.
You could always apply a LOT of hairspray and just chill out as a unicorn for a day!
But if that’s not your thing apply some hairspray to the roots at the back…
… and then using your teasing brush, tease in the root area.
Now GENTLY smooth the rest of the hair backwards to form your poof.
Fold it over and shape it a little bit with your fingers to get the shape you want.
And then pin it in place!
To pin it you can use bobby pins or several lizards, which ever you have available at the time.
How did the women on Gilligan’s’ Island always have such impeccable hair? Hard hitting questions right here.
So pin it just in front of where the pony tail starts.
Smooth down the sides of your pouf to meet your hair and hairspray it in place.
Grab a little bit of hair from your ponytail and wrap it the elastic and the ends of the pouf.
Add an adorable bow and there you’ve got it!
A cute poof with a pony tail!
This is a very polished look that can be worn at work or at play and doesn’t take as much effort as you’d think!
As I mentioned at the start you can wear the pony tail curled or straight and I think it looks great either way!
It’s great to be back guys and thanks so much for all your well wishes on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
Thanks so much for watching, Bye!~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello Besties!
Today I’m going to show you what you can do with curls that are a couple days old and have lost their bounce!
Let’s get started!
Curls are awesome but after the first day they get kind of flat and floppy.
So rather than heat styling and risking damage, here’s what I usually do!
Leaving your fringe alone, brush all your hair upwards into a high pony tail.
Don’t brush through the curls, you want them to really messy and poufy.
But not SO messy that your curls try to eat your hair brush!
So now you can go one of two ways:
You can give it a twist like this and then pin the curls to your head…
Or you can cheat like me! This is way easier but looks a little different.
Just use an elastic hair band and pull it up into a really high pony tail.
Now just pull all the hair forward and fluff it out!
Fluff it out as much as you can so it’s super huge and messy.
Use some volumising powder if you want to go extreme!
Looks a little weird like this, but once you scrunch it up towards the band…
…and start pinning it in place….
You can form it into whatever shape you want, big or small, wide or tall!
And it just looks like a big curly bun that you actually put effort into!
Now just style your fringe so that it matches!
I like to curl my little side bits as well.
Minimal heat styling for the win! I always use a heat protector but even then a flat iron is around 180 celcius
Heat like that is always going to do some damage, so give your hair the occasional break!
And as Violet always says: hairspray the bajeebus out of it!
Once you’re sure all the pins are hidden, add some accessories!
A head band, huge bow or just something little, go with what you feel works best with your outfit.
There are lots of different ways to wear this one and it’s a good alternative to a plain old ordinary bun.
It’s very quick to do and with no damaging styling plus you get to wear your curls for an extra day!
This style is also really great for travelling.
I won’t tell anyone we started with old curls if you don’t 😉
Thanks so much for watching, bye!~~~~~~~~~~~~Shop: http://bit.ly/NknExz
