Rosette Buns | Updo Hairstyles

July 26, 2010

What I love about maintaining this website on cute hairstyles is hearing back from all of you. I feel like many of you have caught on to how much fun doing your daughter’s hair can be… that it provides a few minutes of quality one-on-one time with them in the mornings. I particularly love reading that so many of you feel that your daughter’s confidence is boosted by all of the compliments she is receiving. I know, it is also a little fun for you, too!

Perhaps one of the most frequent hairdo requests I receive in email from moms is further help in how to create our Rosette Buns hairstyle (click link for step-by-step photos and instructions) from last year.

As such, I was able to film this hairstyle tutorial on my daughter last week. (One YouTube commenter just said that you could simply use only two rosettes on top and the rest of the hair down in the ponytail and it would look very cute as well. I hadn’t thought of doing that, but it would look super cute!)

This can be considered a flower girl hairstyle for a wedding, a ballet hairstyle, or just a simple and elegant updo for prom/homecoming or a formal night out…

Items Needed: Comb, brush, spray bottle, hairspray, and 6 rubber bands.

Time Requirement: 5-10 minutes

Skill Level: Easy

I hope this helps! Do you like the video tutorials? Do you feel that they are efficient? Let me know!

Happy Hairdoing!

4th of July Hairstyle: Star Twists

July 03, 2010

I had promised a few 4th of July hairstyles, but I just have not had as much time as I need to get them filmed. I did get this one on today.

Many of you will recognize the base hairstyle as one featured on Good Things Utah in June. The base hairstyle is called Holiday Twists, but the variation I demonstrate below uses about 1/3 of each ponytail to draw the lines of a star on top of the head.

Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 10 hairbands, pomade, ribbon or pipe cleaners (if desired as accents).

Time Requirement: 10-15 minutes

Skill Level: Hard

Happy Hairdoing!

Items Needed: Six large hair elastics, spray bottle, rat-tail comb, curling or flat iron (for subtle curls).

Time Requirement: 5-8 minutes

Skill Level: Medium
