Hair Tutorial: Top Knot :)

Top Knots are quickly becoming one of my favourite hair styles! There are two ways I like to do my top knot: Normal (like in the picture above) and Braided. Also at the end I will give you tips on how to deal/avoid "hairaches"! 

Top Knot

For a normal top knot you are going to need 2 elastics, bobby pins and hairspray (optional)

First flip your head upside down and brush your hair out.

Then collect your hair on the top of your head and put it into a ponytail. 

Take your hair in the ponytail and twist it.

Eventually put your hair into a bun (by moving it around the elastic). Once it s how you like it tie it off with an elastic. 

You can use the bobby pins if you hair is falling out or you want to fix it up a bit.

You can hair spray your top knot if you want it to look more polished or leave it and have it look more messy (personally, I like to have it messy). 

You can also have it off center to make it look more fun!

Braided Top Knot

This is really similar to the top knot but has a little twist!

You will need 2-3 elastics (one small), bobby pins and hairspray (optional) 

Flip your head upside down and brush out your hair.

Collect your hair at the top of your head and tie it in a ponytail.

Next, braid your hair and when your done tie it with a little elastic.

Then wrap it around the elastic.

You can secure it with bobby pins or another elastic. 

You can make this look polished or messy just like the normal top knot.

How to Deal/Avoid a "Hairache"

After having your hair up all day can give you a "hairache". That's basically a headache but its just your scalp hurting. Here are some tips to deal with it:

- don't tie it tightly 

- shower after you take it down

- massage your hair after you take it down

I know it is always a downside for me when I have my hair up. 

If you have any other tips on how to avoid a "hairache" put them in the comments :) 

That's how to do a top knot and a braided top knot :) Hopefully this was helpful! 

And I don't think I am going to be doing any nails of the week this week because I am probably not going to be painting them (but maybe tomorrow, we will see!). Anyways, talk to you tomorrow!

Whats your favourite hair style? 

How To: Fishtail Braids!

To get Elle Fanning's look do 2 fishtail braids a clip your bangs back :) 

Fishtail braids are effortlessly chic and are great to do with second day hair! It can be complicated to get at first but it becomes easier as it goes on. This does take a bit of time so make sure you don't do this when your running out the door! You can have this look as a side braid, a normal braid or two braids, this tutorial will be a side braid. Lets start braiding :)

Step One

Brush out your hair so you don't have any knots.

Step Two

Bring all of your hair to one side. Then separate into 2 parts.

Step Three

Take a small piece of hair (from the outside) of one part and bring it over the hair and add it into the second part. Do the same on the other side. Repeat.Try not to take large pieces of hair because it will end up looking like a normal braid and we don't want that.

Step Four

Once you are done braiding take and elastic and tie it off. 

If You Want It Loose...

Pull apart the braid to make it look more messy. 

If You Want It Smooth...

Take some hair gel and put it over the braid. This will take away all the fly aways! 

So that is how to make a fishtail braid! I think that they are super cute and work with almost every outfit! So I hope you guys have a good rest of the day and I will talk to you tomorrow! (p.s it is the last weekend of summer!! i am so sad :( gonna miss the hot weather, lol) 

no heat waves - back to school

I am putting the no heat wave tutorial under back to school because it is a fast hairstyle to do in the morning. It also gives your hair lots of body and volume. So lets get into the tutorial!

Before you go to bed...
step one
Bush your hair out and separate it into 4 even parts. Like have two parts in the back and two in the front.
step two
Now braid each part. You can clip the hair you are not using up so it doesn't get in the way. So this is what your hair should look like when you are done braiding. Doing 4 braids will make it have more wave and volume vs doing 2. Haha, don't judge the picture, you will look silly but luckily no one will see you.

step three

sleep :) easy step, eh?

Rise and Shine!!

step four

Just undo the braids and you can brush it out a bit. But brushing it will make the hair more poofy/frizzy so I don't like to do that. You can just hair spray it for extra hold and that is the end result! 

So that's all, as you can see it doesn't take much time or energy to do.You can also do different things with your bangs (like twist them or braid them).I can do a beachy wave tutorial using hair products if you guys want, it looks a bit different then this one. And I figured out what was wrong with the comments except now I have to approve them and I don't get why, but comment and I will automatically accept them :) Plus this week pinkbeautylove and I are making a fall look book! So expect that soon, I am really excited for it! That's it and I will talk to you tomorrow!
