Twisty Braid (Similar to Waterfall Braid)

This is just like the waterfall braid but super easy and quick

1.) Grab two one-inch sections and twist them once upwards

2.) Add hair to one of the sections, and drop the other. Pick up another section and twist these two.

3.) Add hair to the section you just picked up, and drop the other section. Pick up another section and twist these two.

4.) Keep twisting in this manner until you reach the back. Tie it with an elastic and then tuck it under with a bobbypin.

One Sided French Braid

1.) Start by grabbing a section of hair, and then section it into three equal parts.

2.) Start braiding it just as you would a normal french braid.

3.) Add in a piece from the top and continue braiding.

4.) Don't add a piece from the bottom, just keep braiding

5.) Continue doing this until it's past your ear and then stop adding hair, just braid it.

6.) Finish it off with a clear elastic!

Ponytail With Twists

1.) If your hair is parted to the side, grab your bangs/the hair by your part and twist to to the back of your head. Pit it loosely.

2.) Grab a section of hair from the other side and twist to the back of your head. Pin loosely.

3.) Gather the rest of your hair into a ponytail

*If you don't have a side part just do the same as step 2 for both sides.

Half-Up Style

1.) Grab a section of hair at your crown. (You can do this by putting your thumbs at your crown and then going around to the back of your head.) You will want to bobbypin this section horizontally.

2.) Then grab a small section of hair from the left side and bring it to the back. Cross it over the horizontally pinned bobbypins and pin it vertically.

3.) Grab a section of hair from the right side and bring it to the back. Bring it over the previous bit of hair and pin it vertically.

4.) Do one more section on each side so that all the hair above your ear is up. This may take more or less sections depending on your hair.

How to Straighten Your Hair

Now I'm sure most of you know how to straighten, but here is a quick refresher anyway (:

1.) Brush your hair

2.) Either spray some heat protectant in your hair, or work a serum through your hair.

3.) Put up half of your hair in a bun or use a clip to clip it up

4.) Section your hair into a one inch section.

5.) Clamp the flat iron onto your hair and pull down. (You may need to repeat this step a few times in order to get it really straight if your hair is curly).

*Don't use hairspray and the straighten/curl your hair as hairspray is actually flammable and you could potentially set your hair on fire.

Quick Twist

1. Grab the entire left side of your hair and start twisting, starting behind your ear. Once you reach the middle add a bobbypin (or two!).

2. Grab the right side of your hair and start twisting it up behind the right ear. Twist above the first twist. Pin at the middle again, and pin in any stray hairs. You may want to add a few bobbypins for security.

Easy Half French Twist

1.) Pull a large section of your hair from one side and bring it to the center. Bobbypin vertically.

2.) Grab a large section of hair from the other side and bring it to the center. Flip it around and bobbypin vertically.

French Twist Bangs

This is a really simple way to do your bangs that looks great!

1.) Brush your hair (:

2.) Grab a one inch section of your hair by your part. Twist it.

3.) Grab another one inch section right beside the first. Twist the two away from your face.

4.) Add a bit of hair to the farthest section. Twist from your face

5.) Continue adding hair and twisting hair until you have reached the length you'd like

6.) Bobbypin it (:

Hello (:

I'd like to start this blog off with an introduction (: My name's Shelby Ann and I'm doing a project for Cosmetology. This blog will help those who, like me, recently cut their hair to their shoulders. I have big plans for this blog :)
