I finally found a friend who would let me play around with her short hair! Everyone say thank you to Stef for letting me experiment on her 😀
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.

Now on to the week’s V-Logs, hope you enjoy! We are so sleepy after this week I decided to take a few days this week to take it a little easier because I’m running out of steam a little bit. Tutorials posted as usual but I’ll be a bit slow with replies and emails. Worth it to keep my sanity though ^_^

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.

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!

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.

Oh my god, first round up in aaaages! I had a bit of an unscheduled break from videos but I’m back with a vengeance!
First up the video of Clara doing my leopard print nails 😀
Morning Make Up!
Also I’ve started doing another month of V-Logs! YAAAAY Seriously I had so much fun with it in December that I was really excited to start again… unfortunately it’s been a bit of a slow start >_< I haven’t been able to show as many of the things I’ve been doing because they’re under contract at the moment but the videos of them will come later. I also had an allergic reaction to some lash glue so I’ve been avoiding showing my face… but things will pick up and get awesome soon I promise 😀
If you have any requests for stuff to include in the videos leave a comment! Hope you’re all having a good week! We’re thinking of a Q and A session too so fi you have any questions for us leave them in the comments too!
