Step 1 - Gather all of your hair to one side and secure it with an elastic.

Steps 2 & 3 - Take your donut form and place it at the end of your ponytail. (Usually you slide the donut up to the base of your ponytail, but with this style, to get the ‘messy’ look, we’re going to slowly work our way up from the bottom!)

Step 4 - Wrap the ends of your hair around the donut and slowly turning and twisting the donut form inside out until it works its way up the ponytail.

Step 5 - Once your bun is secure, take any layered pieces and pin them with a bobby pin.

There you have it! The messy bun is sure to become one of your favorite looks this fall!

If you’re looking for a hairstyle that’s fun, flirty and sure to grab attention at your next get together, look no further than the Party Bouffant! With the simple steps listed below, you can take your hair from average to full on vixen!

1. Start with loose waves (this will be the base of the volume of your hair).
2. Begin teasing the crown of your hair. You can do this in layers, sections, or whatever will give you the highest amount of volume.
3. Using your teasing brush, begin to brush and smooth out the top layer of your hair for a nice polished look.
4. Secure with bobby pins. Be sure not to flatten the volume of your bouffant!
5. Finish with hairspray!

I’m all about taking a ‘go-to’ hairstyle and spicing it up a bit! The tutorial today is a perfect example of that! I have naturally curly hair, so keeping it straight during the summer is a pretty risky move. So, to soften the effects of the inevitable humidity, I usually wear a portion of my hair pinned up to tame any unruly effects! Follow the steps below to amp up this average ‘do’!

Steps 1 & 2 – Starting with your hair down, take two sections of hair from the front of your face frame. (Right about the ears is a safe spot.)
Step 3 – Secure the two pieces in the back center of your head with a small elastic.
Step 4 - Braid the pieces together in a simple 3 strand braid and secure with another elastic.
Steps 5 & 6 - Using your pointer finger and your thumb, gently tug on sections of the braid until you have little loops (or in this case, ‘petals’!).
Step 7 - Wrap your braid into a circular shape (it should resemble a flower) and secure it in place with bobby pins!

Voila! And there you have it! In five simple steps you turned a safe go-to hairstyle into a new trendy look! This style is super simple, versatile and works great on almost any hair length and hair type! So grab your tools, get creative and amp up your go-to style today!

1. Brush out your hair’s natural texture, you can do this look with straight or curly hair.
2. Section off your hair into a mohawk part.
3. Tease that section until it has a large amount of volume, aka - the Poof!
4. Tightly pin back the sides of your hair against your head.
5. Gently brush over the teased section so that it looks smooth.

You can pull your hair back into a pony, or leave it down for your glamourous red carpet look! Voila!
