Tired of headband slipping or disrupting your hairstyle? I've got your hairstyle solution with my sexy corset lacing

What you'll need
Brush/comb
Gel/moose/hairspray (texture)
Long thin Ribbon of desired color
Rat tail comb/chopstick/pen (parting tool)
Small elastics clear, hair color or ribbon color
Crochet hook (if you have one on hand)
Part a zig-zag (desired width) headband part from ear to ear. French braid headband from one ear to the other, braid down to the ends.  Part a second zig-zag head band directly behind the first. French braid the second headband, Braiding down to the ends. At this point you should have two French braids beginning and ending in the same direction. Taking your crochet hook or "parting tool" wrap ribbon around the tool and feed through each beginning point of braids(like starting shoe laces). Every third braid loop lace ribbon through braid crossing ribbon between each lacing. Continue this all the way down to the ends and tie ribbon as desired. This is a fun look kept down to the side or pinned under remaining hair at the nape.
As I always say make it your own, French braid pigtails and weave down the back. French braid two sections on one side of head and weave for a sexy corset look to add to any updo or half updo.

difficult looking elegant updo

What you will need
Brush/comb
Bobbypins Lg strong and small
Large clip/hair elastic
Small elastic
Gel/Moose/Strong hold hair spray
Smoothing boar brush or comb
Curling iron/curlers

This is the best pic i could find to describe what I'm trying to explain...

Brush hair and  really texture for hold, Divide hair into thirds. Combined top two sections and Clip or tie off for later. With a small elastic tie bottom third into a tight ponytail. It is easier if hair in ponytail is curled however it is not a must. Taking small sections of the ponytail twist curling it around your fingers twist to create a bow like curl and pin take remaining hair from curl and repeat. Take another small section from the ponytail and feed through a pinned curl curl around finger twist and pin, collect the rest of the curl and feed through another curl twist and pin. Continue this with all hair in ponytail. Release all remaining hair section off the head band section into three section and tie out of the way. Part at an angle released hair and pin half out of the way. Slick to the other side  above curls insuring it remains smooth and sexy. Secure hair at the other side with Lg bobbypins when secure drape back over the bobbypin and twist and add to the curls. Bring the other section over sleek and smooth. Pin in place at the other side with Lg bobbypin. When secure drape back over the bobbypin and twist and add to curls.



Release each side individually and slick back and add to curls. Release top and final section and create desired bump pin in place spray to secure hold. Loosely twist hair down to curls and add to curls. Once hair is securely set for a smoother look release the bump bobby pin.

Hair net

What you will need

Gel/moose/hairspray
Several little hair elastics matching your hair color or whatever color you desire for this look.
Brush,comb

Create a headband part across head from one ear to the next. Pull remaining hair into a pony tail or just out of the way. Taking small little square sections of the head band and tie off tightly with small elastic. Once entire headband section is squared off and tied down starting with the top squares split into two the top two squares. Attach the right half of the first square with the left of the second. Continue this all the way down adding the full square at both ears. Continue again with the next row, starting at the top working your way down and adding the full last square. Continue this until you have only two squares left, if you collected hair into a ponytail wrap the two around and join underneath. If you simply pulled hair out of the way attach the two ends and let the hair you pulled out of the way down. Babies breathe, pearls etc are a fun addition as well as topsy tailing each section. Have fun with this make it yours.

French twist a few ideas

What you'll need:
  • Bobbypins
  • Hair gel/hair spray/moose
  • Brush/comb
  • Curlers/curling iron
  • Hair decorations (optional)

A french twist is an elegant hairstyle that is great for formal to casual events. A french twist can be done with just above shoulder length and longer. To create a french twist brush, add styling product for texture and collect hair into a low ponytail and twist. Spreading hair up and over the twist as you twist, pin into place. the ends are optional:
  • Curl the short hairs poking out
  • Roll around finger and pin or cinch ends
  • For longer hair twist hair back into its self and pin into place adding volume to the style
For the bump lover section a small section at the bang section of your head and twist or back comb section and push forward to desired height. Follow the french twist directions gently adding in remaining hair from the bump.

For a more elegant look reverse french twist instructions direction starting at the top of the head twisting downward. Leave hair out and curl ends.

For a more casual look section hair from the bottom of ear to ear and follow the french twist instructions. curl the lower section of the hair.

(shorter hair)For a more elegant look section three large sections from each side of your head, top and pin away for later. Follow the french twist instructions with remaining hair. Spray one of the side sections with a sleek coat of hair spray and comb over twist. Spray hair again to insure hold and sleek hair avoiding fly aways and bumps. Comb first section as far over as it will go and pin into place securely. Bringing the second side section over repeat the same process you just finished with the first section. Bringing hair across the french twist and curving up towards the top section just above the ear. Coat top section with hair spray and smooth hair to secure hold fly aways and bumps and pin in place. Release top section and back comb to desired height a front bump or poof. Curving hair over ends of second section roll the top section ends into a delicate soft roll. pin into place. Spray again for a secure hold and hair style is complete.

A double french twist is also a fun look. Split hair into two pig tail like section down the center of your head. Follow the french twist instructions with each section and pin in place to secure.

Follow the french twist instructions, with shorter hair instead of curling atop your head pull your hair back into itself leaving little sections at the side of the french twist out all the way and tightly curl ends for a soft angelic look.




A french twist is a wonder style to create and make your own with endless possibilities. Have fun try your own take on the french twist add your own style of decorations and make it your own. French twist from side to side instead of up and down, leave out little tendrils, Make a large statement with a high bump or curls its whatever you can imagine it to be.  Most importantly have fun.

Another easy knotted hair style

What you need:
bobbypin
hair brush/comb
gel/moose/hairspray
hair elastic lg and small
rat tail comb/pen/chopstick

Pull hair into a single pony tail similar to the first hair style depending on hair length section( hair for long hair into 2 section, shorter hair may need more sections) loosely knot hair a few times loose down to the ends. wrap around ponytail and pin ends out of place. With each hair style a bump just behind or including bangs may be added for additional style.

How I styled my sister in-laws hair for her wedding

What you ll need:
Rat tail comb/pen/chopstick
gel/moose/hairspray
bobbypin
curling iron/curlers (optional)
hair decorations (optional)
Brush/comb


 my take on this hair style.
Divide hair into 3 ponytails clip top and bottom ponytail out of the way. Divide middle ponytail into equal sections depending on hair width tie each section into large loose knots bobypin around hair tie. sectioning the bottom ponytail into small sections split each section into two and tie into multiple loose knots loosely wrap around the center section. Once completed divided top section into 3 sections a small section above each ear. and pull the center top section into a pony tail just above the knotted section. knot the top center section like you did the bottom section around the finished hair. At the base of the head section small sections and knot like you did the last 2 sections from scalp to tips loosely pull back to finished and wrap to hide ends. Finished hair should look like this .
