Elsa’s French Braid {Hair Style Video}

I know in the past I have showed you how to do a basic braid, a french braid, a braided updo and a messy bun with braids! Today I am excited to share with you how to do the Elsa braid from frozen!

I love the idea of wearing my hair in a braid for so many occasions! You can make it look more casual or elegant depending on how you style it.

I know that Elsa is all the rage for little girls and so many of them are asking their moms to do their hair like that. Well I am here to help! Here is a video showing you an easy way to braid your hair just like Elsa!

Some of you might be asking yourself, “Isn’t this just a french braid?”. The answer is yes although there are a few things that we do different here that you will have to remember when trying to get you hair to look like Elsa!

1. Start with your hair strait, smooth and thick (Add extensions if necessary).
2. Tease the top of your hair for extra body and fullness.
3. Make sure you take big sections of hair when adding it to your braid.
4. Don’t forget to maneuver the hair to the side as you are braiding it.
5. Secure the braid with a clear elastic.
6. Loosen the braid by pulling at each little sections, starting at the bottom and working your way to the top.
7. Curl any fly-a-ways with a large curing iron.
8. Once you have the braid exactly how you like it, spray it with a long lasting hairspray.

This style is great for anyone at any age and for any occasion! It just depends on how clean or messy you make the braid. Personally I think that it would be awesome for summer because even if it gets a little messy, it looks like it should be that way!

See moms, it isn’t as hard as you thought, was it? Do you think that you will be able to achieve this style the next time some little one asks you? Or better yet the next time you want to try it on yourself?

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.
