French-Twist Braid

Hello friends,

     Today I wanted to make a French braid but with a different twist...literally.  As I braided my hair, I would pick up a small section of hair and twist it tightly between my fingers before adding it into my French braid.  I love the defined look that this hairstyle has.  And instead of leaving my braid long at full-length, I wrapped it up and clipped the end in place with a few tiny hairclips.  This kept my braid out of my way, plus helped it to look neat and in place all day long.
     Thank you for following my posts!  I love sharing hair pictures with my friends around the world, here on  my blog and on Facebook.

Sunday Best~ my big twist-style bun for the day

Hello friends,

Yesterday I wore my favorite dress and fixed my hair in a style to match.  This ended up being several hair twists drawn up together into a big wavy bun.  I used two of my new hairclips on each side of my bun.  I really like them, they hold my hair great and are so colorful :-)
     I made a new hairstyle video today!  So stay tuned and maybe by tomorrow I will have it uploaded on my YouTube channel.  Thank you for following my posts!  Merry Christmas to you from the endless-summer islands <3

Ponytail Twist

How often do you wear ponytails? They're so cute and there's nothing more trendy when you spice it up a little bit. The hair is very vital part with your everyday look. It can tell exactly how much you take care of it. And when you srtyle it, it can give a completly different look. So if you're looking for some great ways to spice up your hair, try this amazing 5min. tutorial from A Cup Of Jo.

Split your hair into two sections, straight down the back, but off center, about 3/4. You want one large section, and then one smaller section that's about an inch or two away from your ear. Than take the larger section and make a ponytail, securing tightly with a rubber band. Twist the smaller section AWAY from your face. Make the twist as tight as you can, so it doesn't become too loose later on. After that, wrap the twisted section over the top of the ponytail and around to the bottom. Pin the twisted wrap in place. After you've secured the twist with enough pins, let it untwist and blend in with the rest of your ponytail. Done and done! SO easy!

Half Twists

This one is really super easy.

Using the elements of THIS twist, part the hair down the middle and pull into sections to the ears.

Divide each section in half and twist to the ends. I temporarily held the first one with a clip.

Then repeat on the other side.

Take both twists and pull together. Decide where you want the twists to end and secure with an elastic.

Finish the hair how you would like. I really like this one with a flip and with curls. It's really up to you.

Then tie a ribbon, place a bow or a flower for the weight (this one has a tendency to flip funny).

Corkscrew How To

Start by putting the hair in a ponytail. I wet the ponytail thoroughly.


Then I goop it up with product. This is the BOLD IT! Gel. See how shiny it is? I worked it through the entire ponytail.

Separate the hair into two sections.

Now you twist the two sections separately in the same direction. See the picture below. I twist them super tight because it will relax a bit in the end and I don't like them to relax too much. You also use both hands because you aren't holding the hair AND the camera

Then I twist them together the other way. You don't have to do it this way. You could twist each side down completely and then twist the opposite way, I have found that for myself, I twist as I go because I can hold it tighter.

Like this.

Here is the completed twist. It just needs to be secured. However, because this was pre-bath and I had to bribe her, I just used a clip to hold the end.

But you can see in this picture how it relaxes just a bit.
