Holiday Hairstyle.....Modern Bouffant

Hi y'all. Only two more holiday hairstyles to go! This holiday hairstyle is my version of a modern bouffant. Most people call it just a plain bun, but I just like using the word "bouffant" This is a classic hairstyle that looks great with anything you wear.

You'll need:

root lifter

teasing comb

rubber band

bobby pins

hairspray

Step 1. Spray a little root lifter directly onto your roots. Take your teasing brush & backcomb the top section of hair.

Step 2. Gather your hair into a low ponytail, secure with a rubber band.

Step 3. Tease your entire ponytail with your teasing brush.

Step 4. Your ponytail should look big & a little messy like mine. I wanted it to look like a birds nest.

Step 5. Start to wrap your messy bouffant bun around your rubber band. The messier the bun the better it looks. Remember I was going for the birds nest look.

Step 6. Once your bun is just the way you'd like it to look secure it all around with your bobby pins. Spray your hair all over with hairspray.

Step 7. Done! Your messy modern bouffant is finished.

I really liked the way this looked with a backless dress, I felt like it really helped my hair stand out. Don't forget your hair is one of your best accessories.  

Stay tuned for our last holiday hairstyle, in video form :)

Holiday Hairstyle.....Embellished Headpiece

Hi everyone! Wow Christmas is coming so fast, we're already on our holiday hair tutorial #3. This time we're showing you just one way to wear an embellished headpiece. Around the holidays I love to wear anything that sparkles. Headbands, hair clips, bows & the list goes on & on! You can wear an embellished headpiece with any type of hairstyle this is just one holiday hairstyle that I loved.

You'll need:

root lifter

teasing comb

bobby pins

embellished headpiece

Step 1. Spray a little root lifter into your roots. Take your teasing brush & tease your crown.

Step 2. Gather one small piece of hair on your left side, bring it to the right side & pin onto your head w/ a bobby pin. Do the same with a piece of hair on your right side. Your making a criss cross motion.

Step 3. Continue the criss cross motion with your hair. Remember small pieces of hair work best.

Step 4. When you pin down your hair try your best to hide the bobby pins underneath your hair.

Step 5. When you've criss crossed your hair all the way to the bottom take a small piece of hair from underneath & wrap it around the loose hair on the bottom to create a ponytail. Take a bobby pin & securely pin that piece of hair underneath.

Step 6. When you've secured your ponytail you can start to take out a few bobby pins that may be poking out. I only take out about 2 or three. Remember you don't want the whole thing to fall out but it can "lay loose"

Step 7. Add your embellished or sparkly

headpiece. This is a necklace that I use as a headband.

Step 8. Voila'! Done

We're working on hopefully doing some DIY's for some sparkly, fun headpieces for the holidays so stay tuned!

Holiday Hairstyle....Old Hollywood Glam Hair

Hi y'all! Mandy passed the reins to me today. Instead of Makeup Monday I'm doing "Hair" Monday. I have lots of holiday hair tutorials to show y'all & I just couldn't wait to get started! First up Old Hollywood Glam. It's by far the easiest holiday hairstyle, just three easy steps. Plus it looks great on everybody.

You'll need:

hot rollers

brush

hairspray

Step 1. Heat up your rollers, once they are nice & hot start rolling up your hair. Make sure when you put the rollers in your hair that you tuck your ends under. This will keep your ends nice & smooth. I always roll my hair this particular way.  

Step 2. Leave the rollers in for about 15 minutes or until they are cool. I like to do my makeup during this time. Once you take out the rollers gently brush the curls out. Shape the curls to help frame your face.

Step 3. Set with hairspray & you're all done!

This is a great hairstyle for any occasion. If you don't have hot rollers a jumbo 2" curling iron will do just fine. When you release the curl just pin it with a bobby pin & allow it to cool.

*style tip- this hairstyle looks great with one side tucked behind your ear to show off those great earrings
