Hair Inspiration

Not long ago I posted my favorite fishtail, favorite knotted and buns and favorite Fall hair tutorials, a lot of tutorials are.. well.. somewhat advanced or sometimes we just need that long length full hair that we don't have. I was looking at Urban Outfitters beauty/Hair products when my eye fell on all the hair accessories, clips, pins, hooks, ombre extensions, rainbow extension, a fishtail hair tool, a polly hair piece to make that perfect bun, chalk and little twisters. I love how a ponytail extension was used to braid a fishtail and the bun piece was used to make a low tucked bun, the ombre extension is quite clever as are the rainbow clips! These hair gadgets perfect for new do's!

Favorite Short Hair Tutorials

Photobucket
photos by pinterest

There is a reason why we see so many Hollywood starlets with short and medium hair styles, short styles just tend to frame the face beautifully and easily add extra allure but.... short hair might easily look flab instead of fab. Pulling off short locks is all about styling, products, curl iron, flat iron and a touch of dare! This week I collected my favorite short hair tutorials!
(and for long hair these tutorials give such a good base for working with layered locks and bangs)
xoxo

1) {DIY} Curly Locks


Kelly's "DIY Curly Locks" is one of the best tutorials for short hair! The tutorial starts with an "before" picture and guides easily trough all the steps! Not only is this tutorial a must for short and medium hair but in my book a must for layered longer hair as well!

2) Perfect curls for short hair

This video is another short hair must! The curls add so much flair and volume to a simple cut! I often watch the video for inspiration (and guidance) for my bang section while having long hair!

3) Short hair flair

Modcloth's tutorial on adding curls to a really short cut is a true little gem!

6) Chic Updo

An updo just about as perfect as it can get for short/medium hair! I just love knots and sophisticated yet somewhat tousled updo's and this one is just a beauty!

Big Beautiful Hair Tutorials

Photobucket
(photos via pinterest)

I love big beautiful hair, whether it be in a lush 60s bouffant, a teased updo or with big curls! For a lot of us a full gorgeous locks don't come natural and for those who are blessed with thick hair it might be hard to keep the locks from weighing down and create some controlled chaos ;) So behold my favorite tutorials for big beaut Hair including the 2 tutorials I have been using for creating new voluminous waves myself! 


1) The Daily Desh ~ Hair Volume

I actually start off with a tutorial (and a lovely blog post) that isn't necessarily for me since I have naturally very fine and thin hair. This tutorial is for those with thick hair and want to create some order in the chaos! I do really love the result, it's kind of how I look after going to my hair stylist, who creates this look on my hair simply with some products and a blowdryer but I never managed to get the look right myself! (one day I will haha)

2) Kevin Murphy ~ Powder Puff

Here is where the Magic starts! I use the Kevin Murphy Powder Puff myself and I seriously love it, can't live without it! When using the powder on my roots (and after scrunching it up) there is volume! Like real volume, magic! Sometimes I do set the created volume with some hairspray and other days I just fluff it up a few times during the day! I discovered that by using the powder on more sections at the roots it created far more volume and with my fine hair I managed to be very close at a beaut big 60s hair at my very first try, wooha! I also use the powder before setting curls!

ps. Other powders are the Osis Dust it, Lanza Powder up and Big Sexy Hair Powder Play!

3) This Chicks Got Style ~ Bouncy Curls


For all those that asked me about my hair, It was Yara from thischicksgotstyle who started styling my hair in New York and was patient enough to teach me how to do it myself! I'm so happy she made this tutorial because I can honestly say (working with this myself) that its really good and dummy proof ;) In the end it so happens that I hadn't been paying enough of attention and haven't done my hair how I was supposed to be doing it haha but close enough ;) (I personally make a side section and use the powder puff instead of teasing!) Besides curls (obviously) this tutorial creates big voluminous hair for those like me with fine thin hair! Oh, and did I tell you that the curls really stay in place the whole day? Yes, they do!

4) Nasty Gal ~ Big Messy Waves

I think the easiest way to go for some volume are big "bedhead" messy waves! Personally I'm really hesitant to use spray wax but I am all about crunching my hair by making buns and then fixing them with hairspray! This tutorial might be the easiest to start off with but didn't created the magic effect I was looking for myself.

5) Modcloth Blog ~ Bouffant Hair

The Bouffant is big on my wish list and this is the tutorial I will use to try it myself, although I haven't thick hair! (I will start off with creating volume ~ and maybe some bedhead waves, with the Powder Puff and curl iron myself!) Basically for Big hair it's all about teasing your hair, maybe using sea salt spray and loads of hairspray but to be honest I always try to avoid these three at all costs myself and opt instead in on the powders, blow dryer and curl iron, oh I do use loads of hairspray actually but I use an equal amount of conditioner afterwards ;)

Of course I had more favorite outfits haha but these looked the best together and stand for what has really on my mind lately (styling wise) I have been really into black, light blue and dark inky colors with heavy detailing like studs set against silks and mohair knits. Another big change this month has been my hair of course! Oh, and next color on my list is Burgundy Red!

I love spending time on my Hair, not that I'm particularly good at it but having some~weekend messing~with~my~hair~quality~time is always something I look forward too! So hence this post with some of my all time favorite tutorials!



1) the Beauty Department ~ Knotted Ponytail

One of my favorite tutorials online is the knotted Ponytail by the Beauty Department.  I just love the simplicity of the knot in a very low ponytail and the tutorial is easy to understand and work with! I just love wearing low messy ponytails with oversized sweaters and the knot will give any easy look just that little bit of extra!

3) This Chicks Got Style ~ Braided Bun

Yara's braided bun is a nice way to give an updo something extra, really, it's a perfect combination of two; braids and buns! Win-Win!

5) Top 10 Fashion Bloggers Hairdo's

A bigger collection of Hair Styles and Tutorials is in the Top 10 Fashion Bloggers Hairdo's. I was so tempted to re-blog almost the entire list in this post which would have been silly I guess so instead I figured it's better to post the link of the Top 10. I often use the list for inspiration and use some of the tutorials to help me with making the curly hair I have been sporting lately!
