Overlapping Half-Up, Half-Down Hairstyle

Summer is in full swing and everyone is looking for a fresh trendy hairstyle. The last thing you want to do is add more heat to your hair during these hot months and this striking style is perfect regardless of whether your hair is thick, thin, straight or wavy. Plus, the overlapping technique is so easy to achieve! So give this stunning look a try!

 Step 1: Take a small strand of your hair from above the ear.

 Step 2: Take a bobby pin and pin it 3/4th's of the way down your hair strand.

Step 3: On the other side, pull a small strand of about the same amount as your last one. And pull it opposite direction as the first strand. 

 Step 4: Take the second strand and pin it under the first strand.

Step 5: Take a new strand from under the first strand and pull it over the second strand. Then bobby pin the third strand right under the second.

 Repeat this 2 more times until you achieve this look. Make sure that everything is tight. Have fun!

Style A Top Knot

For the last few weeks I've discovered that messy buns became my favorite hairstyle. I don't know why, maybe it's because outside here is hot as hell,  or just my hair looks better that way. Anyway, while I was scrolling through one of my favorite blogs - Beautiful Mess, I've found this amazing tutorial. And as you already know, I always try to bring to you the best & easiest hair tutorials from all over the web. So I think for my 100 post, this one is perfect.

First tie your hair into a ponytail at the top of your head. Then use a comb to brush down and through your hair, tease it. If your hair is thin or fine, make sure to tease as many strands of your pony as you can. That will give the bun volume and body. After that twist your hair around your hand and tail base. Pull the end of your hair through. Tease and style the top knot, and if you want, you can also spray on a little hair spray. 

Style A Messy Braid

Most of you know that I love messy bohemian hairstyles. And as you know from my past posts they are a big hit this upcoming summer. The great this is that, when you learn how it's made, you can also apply it on other hairstyles. Just to style and refresh it! This tutorial is very cute, I just love it! My source is - Beautiful Mess Blog. It's one of my favorite places to go when I feel inspired.

Okay, start by french braiding hair from the back to the side. Then use a hair elastic to tie a side ponytail. Tease the pony by using a comb, as much as possible. After that, braid the teased hair into a regular braid. Pull it so that everything is uneven and loose. Now to make things easier, cut the elastic off ( watch out not to cut any hair ). And that's it! Enjoy your big messy bohemian braid! 

How To: Little Maiden Braid/ Hair Curling Tips

I know I've already posted a very very similar post - The Maiden Twists. But, why posting the same hair tutorial again? Well, because the girl who done this tutorial, also mentioned some very useful iron curling tips. I've already posted a quick basic hairstyle tutorial ( it actually shows you how to properly use a hair curling iron ). I must confess that I got pretty obsessed with the beauty of the blog where I found this - Sea Of Shoes. Jane ( the blogger ) is so original and beautiful! Just amazing!

After freshly washed hair, start by reading first the basic hairstyle post, to learn the proper way to use an hair curling iron. If you hair doesn't curl well, then put a palmful of hair mousse in it when it's halfway dry.  Comb out your hair and spray out  CHI Iron Guard Protection Spray  to prepare yourself. Warp your hair on the top of your head and clip it while you are curling the bottom strands first. Jane is using  a Bed Head 1 inch styling iron. When you curl, take 2 sections and alternate the direction in which you curl them. Do one section wrapping it away from the face, and the next one towards the face. Feel free not to use the curling clamp, you should let the hair slide off the iron and cool completely in your hand before you let it fall!  

After you're done the bottom section, finish it by misting with Bumble and bumble Spray de Mode  m and comb through the curl with your fingers. Them move to the top section. Curl the hair away from the face to get the flowy look.

Now that you've done running your fingers through your hair, start braiding a little loose braid just below your ear. So it would be easy to warp it around the head. After that just pin it in place. Hopefully you'll find the hair curling tips useful! Bye!
