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?

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?

Loose Beach Waves

When it comes to curling hair, there are so many different types of curly hair style you can do. It all depends on what type of curls you are looking for and what hair type you have. You also have to think about the length of your hair and decide if it will work with the curl you want to achieve. Not to mention what size curling iron you will need to achieve which curl.
