Professional Side Ponytail {2 Minute Style with Video}

There are so many days out of the summer where I like to wear my hair up or off of my neck. This is one of the easiest and fastest styles that I know.

This is one of my go to styles that takes less than 2 minutes. It is so easy that anyone could achieve this style.

Here is a short video showing you just how I achieve this style in under 2 minutes.

You are only going to need 3 things to complete this hairstyle: A comb, a clear elastic and a bobby pin. First you need to tease your hair and pull it all off to one side.

Take your clear elastic and tie it around your hair.

After it is secure, separate the ponytail in half and pull them in opposite directions to tighten then ponytail.

Once you have your hair pony in place, use the back of your teasing comb to lift up the hair away from the head. I love to have extra volume!

Last but not least, take a small section of hair from the ponytail, wrap it around the clear elastic and secure with a bobby pin.

I hope that this helps and that it makes sense. Do you find yourself running out of quick hair styles and end up wearing the same old ponytail every single day?

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.

French Braid your hair in 7 Simple Steps {With a Video}

I am republishing this post because I realized that I didn’t make my video public on Youtube. So…. here it is!

Last week I showed you how to Master the art of Braiding so for this week I decided to show you how to turn that basic braid into a French Braid. It is easier than you might think. So many people get discouraged with a French braid and they shouldn’t.

If there is one thing that I would suggest to you it would be this. Make sure you feel completely comfortable with a regular braid before you go onto a French braid. The motions are the same except you are picking up and adding hair to the French braid as you go along.

In this video I show you just how to take a basic braid and turn it into a French braid with only adding 2 steps.

1. Grab a good size section of hair on the top of your head

2. Dived Hair in 3 Sections

3. Take the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section

4. Take the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section

5. Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section

6. Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section

7. Continue steps 5 and 6 until you run out of hair

I remember when I first learned how to braid, I wouldn’t give up until I mastered it. Let me tell you, I was so excited once I finally got it and I know you will feel the same way.

I am confident that with a little practice you will be able to French braid in not time at all. I hope that this video is helpful for you.

Do you know how to French braid? Do you remember how you felt when you mastered it? I would love to hear about it.

Let me know how it goes for you!
