Ribboned Bobby Pins | Tips and Tricks
February 13, 2011
This video tutorial shows a very simple way to spice up an updo hairstyle, for any holiday occasion. This one happens to be for Valentine’s Day.
In this video (you can use Messy Bun #1 or Messy Bun #2), I use a thin ribbon cut into small strips (length can vary), and then tie them onto bobby pins. You can tie the ribbons into tiny bows if you would like, but I did not have time when I filmed this tutorial. If you make the ribbons longer… you can curl them by running the edge of scissors along the ribbon so that they look like curly-q’s. Then I place the bobby pins throughout the messy bun until the hair style looks right.
Items Needed: 6-8 small bobby pins, thin colored ribbon, scissors
Time Requirement: 5+ minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!

For St. Patrick’s Day I used a green ribbon in the braid, but you could use any color of ribbon for any occasion. I show that there are a few ways to finish the style, one being into a soft side ponytail and the other is into a cute messy bun. Items Needed: Spray Bottle, rat-tail comb, ribbon (any color), small elastic band, hair band, hairspray (if needed) Time Requirement: 5 minutes Skill Level: Easy This hairdo is also subtle enough to be used on tweens, teens, and moms.

Many of you moms are asking for updo hairstyles that are quick and easy for your daughter’s in dance or ballet. Many of my hairdo’s will work, but here is one that is very simple to follow and looks very cute from the audience… I am not a ribbon expert, but received excellent advice from Annie on our Cute Girls Hairstyles Facebook Page that adding ribbon to a hairbraid does help add volume if your daughter has thin hair. (Many of my favorite hairbloggers like Princess Hairstyles and Girly Do Hairstyles, among others, are well more adept at ribboning than I!). For your ribbons, keep in mind this simple trick to stop fraying ends. Enjoy! Items Needed: 2 rubber bands, a few large bobby pins, 3 ft long ribbon (color of choice, hairspray. Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes. Skill Level: Easy Happy Hairdoing! * Note from Mindy: Don’t forget to follow us on BlogLovin, a new easy-to-use blog reader!
