How to Curl Your Hair (My favorite way)


Section off the top half of your hair.


Secure with a clip.


Grab a a medium size section of hair.


Take a curling iron (any size, but the smaller the better) and turn it upside down. Carefully wrap the hair around the iron.


Open up the curling iron a little bit and put the end of your hair in, then clamp down. 


This way you can  keep the curl there without having to use your hands.


Repeat this step until you've curled all of your hair. Separate a few of the curls and this is the finished look! 



(OPTIONAL)


Grab the top half of your hair.


Twist.


Push it upward to create volume.


Secure with bobby pins and your done!

Ballerina Bun


Start with texturized hair. My hair is naturally wavy, so if your's is straight, make a few loose curls and tease it in random sections.


Gather all of your hair.


Grab all of your hair and put it on top of your head.





Take a ponytail the same color as your hair and wrap it around the bun a few times. ( Don't wrap it around too many times or else your bun will stand off of your head.)


Gently tug at the sides.


Take bobby pins and pin around the bottom of the bun.


Here it is!


If you want to accessorize it, I just put on a lacy head-wrap, and a bobby pin flower.






I hope you enjoyed this! The flower is from Charlotte Russe, and the head-wrap is from Icing. 

Elegant Messy Up-Do


Tease the top section of your hair.


Take a curling iron (any size) and make loose curls. It's okay if they're messy.


Take any headband, I have a braided one, and place over your hair.


Secure it in the back with bobby pins.


Grab a section of hair and gently twist upward. 




Gently make a messy clump with your hair, and then bobby pin it.


Repeat this step until you've secured all of your hair.


Make sure to cover the bottom of the headband when you pin your hair.





Spray in some hairspray, and here's the finished look!

Dutch Crown Braid


Make a deep side part, and grab a section of hair right above the ear.


Begin to make a dutch braid gathering pieces as you braid. (A dutch braid is the same as a regular braid you just put the pieces under each other instead of over each other.)


Continue the braid across the top of your head.


When you get to the top of your other ear, stop grabbing pieces from the sides.


Continue the braid all the way to the end of your hair. Secure with a small elastic.





If you want, you can put the braid in a ponytail.

VERY Easy No-Heat Curls


Take a soft, stretchy headband and put it on over your hair.



Take a section of your hair and separate it from the rest.


Bring the hair up and wrap it around the headband.


When you wrap it around, pull the section down and repeat with all of your hair.





Once you're done, all of your hair should be wrapped around the headband like this. If you have layers and a few pieces fall out, you can bobby pin them.


Your wrapping doesn't have to be super neat, just make sure you get all of your hair. Now you can go to sleep. If you're a rough sleeper you can put in a very small amount of hairspray so the curls won't be really frizzy.



When you wake up in the morning, gently tug at the headband to loosen it.



Take sections of hair and start to unwrap them.


Separate the curls as you go.


Here is the finished product! I did not use ANY sort of curling iron or tool to touch these curls up. They are 100% heat free.
