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?

Half-up Half-down, Upside Down French Twist Hair Tutorial {With Video}

You are probably starting to realize that lately I have been on a kick of wearing my hair half up and half down or all the way up. My life, like so many others, is busy beyond belief. If you have misses anything, you can get the recap of my last month here.

I would like to share with you one of my go to styles, one that I believe is one of the easiest hairstyles to achieve. I like to call this one, my half-up, half-down, upside-down french twist. (try saying that 10 times fast, lol)

For this style, you will only need a teasing comb, a few bobby pins and some hairspray.

For all of my email subscribers you can watch the video on how I achieved this style here!

To start, you will need your hair to be teased. It can be straight or curly for this style.
Start with teased hair

Section the hair in two sections, from the top of your ear to the top of your other ear.

Section Your hair from ear to ear.

Grab the hair with one hand as if you were going to put it into a pony tail.

Take that section of hair and twist it just like you would a french twist.

Hold the bottom part of the twisted hair with one hand.

With your other hand open the bobby pin up and grab a section of the hair from the twisted hair whit the bobby pin.

Than tuck the bobby pin into the fold of the hair.

Use as many bobby pins as you need to secure your hair. I use between 3 and 5.

That is all there is to it. It is truly that easy. This style can be warn somewhere fancy or just for everyday.

Do you think that this is a style that you would be able to not only achieve but wear?

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?
