Step 1: Begin with dry hair parted and combed the way you want it for the hairstyle.

Step 2: Split your hair in 2 halves and begin by taking out a 1 inch section and clipping away the rest of the hair.

Step 3: Spray a generous amount of water onto your hand using a spray bottle.

Step 4: Run your hand over your hair a few times until the section is damp, but not too wet. (more…)

Kouturekiss _ So Sweet Half Up Half Down

Step 1: Begin with your hair in either it’s natural texture, or curled. I decided to curl my hair to make the look a little more romantic.
Step 2: Part your hair how you want it and section off a 1-2 inch section starting at the beginning of the part down to the ear.
Steps 3 & 4: Pin the section behind your ear using a bobby pin.
Step 5: Section off the top 1/3 of your hair, being careful not to ruin the section you just pinned.
Step 6: Using a boar bristle brush, tease this section of hair.
Step 7: Smooth the top of the hair and pull it back.
Step 8: Tie the section off with an elastic.
Step 9: Take a 1 inch section out of bottom of the ponytail.
Step 10: Wrap it around the ponytail until it reaches the end and hold in place with a bobby pin. Spray on a small amount of hairspray and… voila!

Kouturekiss _ Do The Bouffant

  1. Begin with the texture and part that you will want your hair in. I straightened mine, but this would also look great wavy, curled, etc!
  2. Section off your hair on one side following the line where your ear is.
  3. Pull the section behind your ear and secure with a bobby pin.
  4. Section off the hair right behind where the section you just pinned ends and begin teasing it with a boar bristle brush. How much you tease just depends on your style! Add a little volume or create glam drama. (more…)

Paddle Brushed Waves

Kouturekiss _ Paddle Brushed Waves

  1. Start off with clean, dry hair and a curling iron. The barrel size you will want will depend on your hair length. I used a Conair 1-inch.
  2. Section off your hair and begin curling in one inch sections.
  3. All of your hair should be curled now. This is a cute look on its own, but I wanted to go for something a little more romantic and soft. (more…)
