We love big frizzy fly-away hair! The soft fuzz is totally perfect for cozy layered Fall/Winter looks and looks gorgeous with statement eyeliner, nudes and soft browns! It's easy to add some soft frizz to hair strands with a crimping iron, small curl iron or to play up the messy look with teasing, but what we really wanted to know is how to get those soft runway wavy curls that flow over in a full fuzzy frizz when separated! For beautiful Winter ready looks we collected our favorite Runway Frizzy Hair tutorials!

Hair Inspiration

photos via Urban Outfitters

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 Fishtail and Waterfall Braid tutorials

images via pinterest

I have collected my favorite Fishtail and Waterfall Braid tutorials over a bit of time for getting those beautiful pretty, romantic, sometimes simple and even sloppy undone looks! Often these Braids look far more complicated then they really are and I have found that the tutorials collected are the most easy and fun to work with while giving inspiration for future more complicated fishtail and waterfall braid fun in updo's and working in multiple sections! 
xoxo



1) the Fishtail Braid


First things first, Lauren Conrad shows us how to do the fishtail braid in a few easy steps. I found this video really the best and most easy tutorial for mastering (and beginning the "art-of") the fishtail braid! 






2) Fishtail Braid picture Tutorial


For when the video above is not enough or you like photo tutorials more in general! This beautiful tutorial explains the fishtail braid in easy to follow steps. (And yes, for that big, fat and sloppy look in the 1st picture above you can distress/tease/pull apart the fishtail braid!)

3) Half sloppy fishtail braid

Refinery 29's slideshow shows us how to get this perfect half sloppy fishtail including how to get those sexy beach waves!

4) Waterfall Braid


This Waterfall Braid is so pretty and perfect in every way!

http://www.oncewed.com/67431/wedding-blog/diy-wedding/waterfall-braid-wedding-hairstyles-for-long-hair/





5) Waterfall Braid Video Tutorial 


This beautiful video from Boat People Boutique shows how to do the Waterfall braid almost similar like the tutorial above but a tiny wee bit different. I also found it really helpful to have a video supporting the photo tutorial above to get the Waterfall braid right!

http://blog.boatpeopleboutique.com/projects/diy-waterfall-braid





6) The Triple Braid

The Triple Braid is easy to do and kind of fakes that fat pulled apart sloppy fishtail or even a weaved hair and that's why I love it so much!

http://www.hairromance.com/2012/12/the-triple-braid-hairstyle-tutorial.html





7) Half done Fishtail Braid

One of my favorite fishtail hair-do's is the half done fishtail braid! And while I couldn't find the exact tutorial leading to this look the above knowledge plus the below tutorial should be enough to lead us right to it ;)

Favorite Natural Beauty Tutorials

photo via bridesmagazine

I'm obsessed with Natural Beauty looks! Not only is a fresh, radiant and dewy skin like a fresh leaf in spring, it is a perfect base to play up the classics like a winged eye or perfect red lips too! For me a bare look where it looks like no make-up is involved is far more intimidating as well, I always envy Natural Beauty's and their effortlessly nonchalant looks! Luckily for us looking "Natural Stellar" ends up being not so natural at all ;)  

1) Barefaced Chic

A beautiful little tutorial on getting a gorgeous and natural look! The soft blush and sheer gloss on a light moist skin give such an understated glow and freshness to a bare look.

http://www.bridesmagazine.co.uk/hair-and-beauty/get-the-look/natural-wedding-makeup-how-to





2) Quick Brightening Make Up

Lisa Eldridge her blog and video tutorials are a real gem! A beautiful natural look is all about skin, about a radiant, fresh, glowy and yes bright skin!

http://www.lisaeldridge.com/video/25599/quick-brightening-make-up/





3) Blush, Luminizer and Bronzer

A gorgeous video on blush, luminizer and bronzer! To be honest the video is more of an inspiration then an actual help although it does really make you get up and have a go with the blush! Helpful or not, for a beautiful natural look you need that flush of blush.




4) Covering Blemishes

Sometimes foundations and powders just work against you when you want a fresh natural look, Foundations can cake or just take away a natural glow (hormones, happiness, love..you know a real glow), try to work with an concealer only and by working on the problem areas only; dark circles and lines! I'm not lucky enough to step out with only a drip of concealer everyday but the days that I do, it ends up looking far better then a whole cover up! Not brave enough? Just finish up with a sheer foundation instead!

http://thebeautydepartment.com/2013/03/spot-concealing/





5) Beautiful Brows

Gorgeous brows are often a key (and forgotten) secret to a perfect natural look, I think a natural look is all about a subtle enhancement of the face, features and skin!

http://nyheter24.se/modette/lindahallberg/2012/09/30/tutorial-fixa-snygga-bryn-med-penna/





6) Brow Guidance

Another great and must see Brow Tutorial!

http://thebeautydepartment.com/2012/11/try-a-little-help-from-a-friend/





7) Romantic Waves

A common misconception when it comes to natural looks is that everything has to be natural! You would be surprised how natural these curls would look when they dance gently in the wind! I would even go with a slightly lighter lipgloss and maybe even set the eyes a bit more!

http://bridalmusings.com/2012/11/romantic-waves-hair-tutorial-by-the-hepburn-collection/





8) Flower Braid

A lighthearted and playful touch adds quickly something youthful to any look! I would just keep the hair with the braid instead of making the actual flower but I do really love the idea!

http://www.latest-hairstyles.com/tutorials/flower-braid.html





9) Lace Braid

The hair is much more complicated but "frilly", and this "frilly" and "free" feel is a much understated and forgotten aspect to  a "natural beauty" look! 

http://www.bobbyglam.com/blog/2012/12/lace-braid-hair-tutorial/






10) Flat to Full

Add freshness and an uplifted feel to a natural look with beautiful big and dancing hair! I just love this tutorial!
