• Brush
• Bobby pins
• Hair spray

Brush it upward at a 45degree angle.

Twist it up towards the part a few times, the twist should be around half way down the piece of hair like this:

Fold the piece of hair in half and hold the twist to your scalp. It should form a little bump like this…

Pin it in place by pushing one pin back into the pouf and one across so they form an “X”.

Repeat on the other side.

It might take a few tries to get right. The more you twist them the pointier the ears become.

From the back it looks like this:

And from the side…

Taadaa! This takes around 5 minutes to do once you get used to twisting it so it’s a nice alternative to just leaving your hair down.

Hope this was useful and there will be more photo hair tutorials to come :D

You need:

• Hair ties
• Brush
• Bobby pins
• Hair spray

Curl the ends of the ponytail into a little loop.

Keep rolling upwards until you can’t go any further and you should have something like this:

From the side it will bow out and form a nice finish underneath.

From the front it looks like a curl.

So now you need to pin it in place. You should try to pin through the hair band to give it extra strength. Make sure you’re pinning it as close to the scalp as possible.

Repeat on the other side too.

Now you need to take care of the back, right now it looks terrible.

Take your brush and gently coax the divide together so it hides the gap. You can use your fingers and a few extra bobby pins at the bottom to keep it all in place.

This version isn’t so great but you can get the general idea…

Now you just need to style your fringe and any layers around your face. The style works better with layers around the face because they create an illusion of being the ends of the hair.

Taadaa!

Short hair without a major chop :D

Hope this was helpful, let me know if you have any questions!

So what you need:

• Brush
• Pretty hair comb
• Hair spray
• Bobby pin

Brush the hair upwards to it’s sticking out horizontally.

Now use your hands to fold it across like this:

Tuck all of the ends inside and fold them into the roll.

Should look something like this. You should run your fingers through the sides from right to left to make sure the hair is all sitting the right way.

Once it’s all folded inside it should look something like this:

Secure it with a comb on the side. To use the comb you should grab a bit of hair from the twist…

…pull it right to the side and push into the scalp back the way it came.

And it looks like this! You might want to put in some more bobby pins if you don’t think it’s stable enough.

Most likely you’ll need some pins in the top swirl part to stop it coming loose.

Hair spray over everything and smooth flyaways with your hands.

If you have any problems with the insides breaking out again just lightly brush the outer layer into place again using short strokes.

Now just style your fringe and that’s it!

All done! I didn’t notice the bit popping out until after I finished >_<

Other side:

Stylish and sleek, this is a good one for work as well as times you just want to look a bit more polished.

Hope that all made sense and let me know if you have any other questions!

So you can cast your vote in the form below and come up with a suitable prize/punishment in the comments mwahahaha! Such a fun and silly day ^_^ Definitely visit the markets if you get a chance, they are a lot of fun!

Ok on to the other videos from this week! First up another Styling Celeste video, this time we did one of my favorite styles, the plaited updo. I’ve done this one a couple of times including a photo tutorial previously as well but we wanted to see how it would look on her dark hair. Too cute!

Last video of the day is a bobbly updo. I did this look to go with the pink/gold make up from last time. I wasn’t planning on making this one into a tutorial, I actually filmed it to test out my lighting set up XD but there were a couple of comments on the corresponding outfit post so I figured might as well ^_^

Hope you enjoyed them all and found something useful!

I’ve got to go get ready now, we’re going to a movie preview tonight which looks like it’s going to be fun! Hope you all had a great weekend <3
