Cascading Curls

Low Pony

I parted the hair down the middle. This doesn't have to be perfect - just kind of loose looking. I twisted one half of the pony tail.
Twist the other half, also. 
Bring them together in a pony tail with an elastic. 
Grab a piece from the pony & wrap it around the elastic so you can't see the elastic. 
I use a clear elastic at the very bottom of the wrap to hold it in. It works great & you can pull the hair down over the clear elastic to cover it up. 
You can curl the pony or just leave it as is.

another INSIDE-OUT frenchbraid

Part the hair from one side down to the ear. Inside-Out frenchbraid this section. 
Section the next piece going the opposite direction & also Inside-Out french braid this. 
Pull the hair into pigtails, adding the french braids into the ponies. 
Braid the piggies. 
Pull them together at the end with an elastic. 
Add some bows where the elastics are for where the pigtails start. 
& you are finished!!

Lots of Braids

I've had a lot of requests to do a tutorial on the inside-out french braid - so be looking for it especially since this one has lots of braids in it. 

I think the inside-out french braid is much easier than a regular french braid & looks much cuter. Here's what we came up with today:
Part the hair & begin braiding from the side.  This picture doesn't it show it very good but I didn't braid all the way down. On the right side, the underneath is down so that it can be pulled into a pony. 
I did four sections. I've done this before & I did 5 sections - so however many you need. You can see better in this the hair that is left down on the right side. 
Pull it all up into a side pony. 
Braid the hair - I did this once again in 4 sections - but however you would like. 
Front view: of course with a finger near the mouth. Add your cute bow.

a side pony

I'm on a really easy hairdo thing this week. Hope you guys think it's easy enough & like it:
Start by sectioning the hair starting at the bottom & adding your elastic. 
Section the next part & cross the lower piggie into it. 
make it all the way to the top, ending at a side pony. 
I curled the pony & added a bow. 

Loose, Messy Piggies

So here's another EASY hair do today. This can be done with either short or long hair. 
I started by pulling the front back in a triangle shape. Add your elastic. 
Put the rest into piggies. I defused it just a little bit to give it more volume but it can be straight too. 
Just bunch the hair up, as shown, and add your elastic. Leave some of the hair underneath hanging so it looks loose. 
Add a bow - I added it to the first elastic instead of the 2 piggies just to change things up. 
Use your fingers to spread the bun out more. Spray to hold. That's all it is. Really simple.

HAIRSTYLES FOR OVAL FACE SHAPES

Oval faces are the most many-sided faces. Many different styles will become you well, but no matter the length of your cut, you will look best with layers near your cheekbones, lips or chin - basically whatever feature you want to highlight. The perfect haircuts for oval face shapes are the cuts that show off the cheekbones and chin. The spike effect is downplayed, too much spike is NOT good on an oval face shape. It gives the illusion of length.



If you have wavy hair and an oval face, this long, wavy hairstyle is for you. It's not too long, which is bad for oval faces, but it's the perfect mix of wavy & long.

Celebrities that have OVAL FACE SHAPES

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Here, you see how hair that's just too long not only overwhelms an otherwise pretty face, but drags it down. While there are few hard and fast rules in beauty, we think few women can get away with hair this long. While dark roots were trendy for like five seconds last year, they never looked nice.


Jennifer Aniston.
An A-lister star all the way, Jennifer Aniston, also known as Brad Pitt’s ex-wife, is a blonde beauty who has the girl next door look and is equally at ease falling into the femme fatale mode, if a role demands it.


Cameron Diaz. Cameron lookes amazing promoting her movie, "In Her Shoes" with this simple yet stylish hairdo.
