Get your Messy Bun Done in Less than 2 Minutes.

Hey all, I hope you had a great Christmas vacation because I know that I did!

With the hustle and bustle of everything going on you are going to need a good “go-to” style. If you are anything like me, you are looking for quick, easy and stylish hair style for any occasion. This messy bun might be just the thing that you are looking for… check it out for yourself!

You are watch this short video Here!

I started with day old hair!

Make sure you have a ponytail that will hold all of your hair…

…some bobby pins just in case you need them…

… and some hair spray to finish the whole look!

Pull all of your hair up to the point of which you want your bun to sit on your head. I like mine to sit pretty high up.

Cup all of your hair in between your fingers. (Make sure your hair tie is on that same hand)

Pull the hair tie around the hair leaving some of the ends still in.

With your other hand, grab the hair tie and pull your hair through again.

Do the same thing again.

Three times should be good. Now just tighten the bun by gently pulling the hair in all different directions with both hands.

Secure any of the loose ends with a bobby pin.

And then you are done!

Yes it is that simple!

This is one of my favorite go to hair styles. It can be dressed up or down and it only takes a few minutes to style!

I am sure that everyone has their “go-to” style, what is yours?

Side Bang, Pin Back Poof Using Just 1 Bobby Pin {Video}

I can’t tell you how many times in my life I have always gone back to some sort of side bang. I try to grow them and I always seem to cut them again.

Bangs and side bangs are awesome for so many reasons; I love how they can frame out a face and can change up a style without being too dramatic. They look good styled up and down. You can also style them with curly hair or strait hair.

One of my favorite ways to style my bangs is in this pin back poof. It is the easiest way to style your bangs and anyone can achieve this poof with only one bobby pin… Yes you read that right, only one bobby pin!

Here is a 2 minute tutorial showing you just how I achieve this style! (For all of my E-mail subscribers, Click Here to watch the video)

Start with any hair style where you want to pin back your bangs.

Grab a section of hair from the middle of one of your eyebrows to the middle of your other.

Pull the hair off to the side and twist it away from the face. (You can even pull it straight back and achieve the same type of look.)

With the open end of the bobby pin (facing the back of your head), grab a piece of hair and twist the bobby pin around so that the open end is facing the front of the head.

With the opened end of the bobby pin facing the front of the head, insert it into the poof.

There you have it!

This is seriously a super easy way to pin back your side bangs or bangs and it looks great every time!

It is really that easy. Never underestimate the power of a professional bobby pin! This is only one of the many ways you can style your bangs.

Is there a particular way you like to style your bangs?

How to Tease Your Hair… The Proper Way! {Video}

I can’t tell you how many people have asked me to teach them how to tease their hair. When it comes to adding a little height to your hair you want to make sure you don’t leave it looking messy. There is a big difference between teasing your hair and creating a rats nest. I really is a simple process of sectioning the hair, creating a cushion and smoothing it out.

Here is a video showing you how to tease your hair the proper way in under 4 minutes!

Take a section of hair around your part line that is about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.

Insert your comb directly in the middle of your section of hair and comb downward.

Do this on both sides of your head.

Don’t forget the back of your head. By now you should have teased the entire crown of the head. (Do you like my natural Ombre going on back there? I haven’t had a full highlight in, I don’t know how long But don’t worry I am getting a full before the wedding!)

As soon as you finish teasing to top of your head. Start to smooth out your hair with the end of your comb.

Making sure you smooth out the top of your hair is one of the most important parts of teasing your hair. You want to make sure you don’t comb out all of your tease.

I personally think that with a proper tease you can not only create volume to your hair but you can also create fullness to thin or fine hair.

Have you ever had issues teasing your hair? Did you find this video helpful?

I would love to be able to make more videos on tutorials that you would like to see. So please let me know anything that you would like me to share and I will put it at the top of the list to post.

Thank you so much for reading.
