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!

1. Begin with your hair in it’s natural texture. This hairstyle works best if you begin with a middle part, but you could do a side part as well.
2. Pull all of your hair into a side ponytail.
3. Section the hair above the ponytail into two parts.
4. Pull the ponytail backwards through the hole you just made.
5. Gently tighten the ponytail to make sure it’s secure
6. Gently pull the hair above the ponytail to loosen it up a little.
7. Wrap another ponytail around the hair about 2 inches below the one above it (depending on how thick your hair is), and make another hole for the hair to go through.
8. Pull the hair through and gently pull just like you did before.
9. Continue doing this until you reach the end, and… voila!

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.
4. Take a paddle brush and begin to brush out the curls into waves.
5. Add a serum to give the waves a little more definition and shine. I used Garnier Fructis Style Brilliantine Shine Glistening Drops (Strong Hold).
6. Add a touch of hairspray to lock everything in.
7. Shake the curls out a bit..
8. and voila!

The post Paddle Brushed Waves appeared first on Kouturekiss.

1. Begin with your hair already styled the way you want it when the braid is in (i.e. straight, wavy, curled, etc). I chose to straighten mine.
2. Section off your hair beginning parallel to the arch of your eyebrow, and the hair that falls in front of year as well (this will help you to hide the start of the braid later on).
3. Section off a 2×2 inch section of hair and begin loosely braiding.
4. Tie off the end of your braid with an elastic.
5. Wrap the braid over the top of your head and place it wherever works best for your hair cut and style.
6. Place the end of the braid underneath a section of hair to hide it, and secure with a bobby pin.
7. To add more volume and drama, tease the hair behind the braid and smooth it over to avoid any stray hairs.
8. Apply a finishing creme or spray and…
9. Voila!
