Kouturekiss - Baby Bouffant With Waves

Sometimes you spend so much time getting those perfect wavy curls in your hair, but after one day, the front doesn’t lay right anymore and you feel like you need to wash it again.

To take advantage of your leftover waves and keep them looking fresh for a s second (or even third) day, try the baby bouffant! It is easy, fast and full of volume and bounce!

  1. Separate the front/top portion of your hair, basically the area where you would or do have bangs. Clip it out of the way for now. (more…)

Kouturekiss - The Large Braided Bun
You know those days where no matter what you do, your hair won’t cooperate? It’s frizzy or tangled, and there seems to be no saving it. You could always hide under a rock and hope for better luck tomorrow, or you could try to work with it! The easiest fix when your hair is unruly is to pull it up and tuck it into a bun, but the basic ballerina style can get boring. To change things up a little, you can try a braided version! A four-strand braid can make your hair look extra thick, giving your bun even more oomph!

  1. Start with your hair in a high ponytail. I like mine to be really tight, but you could definitely rock a looser, more bohemian style too!
  2. Break your ponytail into 4 even sections. To make it easier to follow, I used a different color hair tie to mark each section.
  3. Begin the braid by crossing the left-most (green) section over the adjacent (yellow) section. Next, cross the right-most (blue) section over the adjacent (red) section. Then, cross your middle sections, left (green) over right (blue).

Kouturekiss - How To Master Old Hollywood Waves

  1. Using your brush, give your hair a deep side part.
  2. Curl all of your hair in the same direction on each side towards your face. The smaller the barrel of your curler, the more wavy it’ll be in the end. Try your best to have all of your curls be super structured and symmetrical (ie look the same!).
  3. Once all your hair is all curled you should look something like this. Usually perfectly curled hair is not flattering, but for this technique, it’s necessary!
  4. After the curls have cooled completely, use your brush to gently comb out your curls. If your hair likes to hold onto curl, you may need to do this more than once.
  5. Set with your favorite hairspray and/or shine spray.

Et Voilá! Some lipstick and a LBD and you are red carpet ready!
