Double-Twist Ponytail | Simple Hairstyles
May 31, 2011
If you are looking for an easy trick for the Fishtail Braid, then this ponytail style is just for you! (Although it was not my intention, feedback thus far is that this looks a lot like a fishtail and can be done in half the time.)
What is great about this hairstyle is that it takes literally two to three minutes to complete! Easy peasy!
I prefer to do this style when the hair is damp, like after a good towel drying after the morning shower. This helps control the flyaways while you twist until you can add hairspray (you can also use Pomade on the hair before twisting).
We have demonstrated how to do twistbacks like these before, but it was in photo format. You can see things much clearer and in real time by clicking the video below! Enjoy!
Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, two hairbands, bow or flower clip (if desired), hairspray (or Pomade, if desired).
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes…
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!

Single Twistback | Mom Hairstyles
May 16, 2011
I am on a recent mission to provide those of you moms some more simple, yet cute, mommy hairdos! I mean, we make our girls look cute… but sometimes we forget about ourselves! Actually, girls of all ages can use this, and it literally takes one minute to complete!
We call this the Single Twistback, and it can be used to switch up the French Front hairstyle that you are seeing everywhere right now. I show two ways to finish it off, but you can really use your own imagination and see where it goes!
{Yeah, I can’t really hide it! I am still sooooo excited about being named as a finalist in the YouTube contest above! My girls keep asking me where we stand in the voting (it is close), I think the twins are maybe more “into” this friendly competition than I am! Now, back to the hairstyle…}
Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, one rubber hair band, two small bobby pins
Time Requirement: 1-2 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
You can view all the many wonderful video responses and comments here!
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Twistbacks into Messy Bun | Mom Hairstyles
April 05, 2011
So many moms ask about the styles that I wear as I film hairstyles on my daughters, and how to do them. When I think about styles for the site, I pretty much only think about hairstyles on my girls. But that should not mean that I should only think about them, right? Moms are important too!
For those of you who asked, this hairstyle is the one I wore in the Lace Braid hairstyle tutorial we uploaded a week ago. I must have received at least a dozen emails about my hairdo, so here it is!

The style is simple to do, and helps keep your bangs out of your face. Plus, you can do it in only a few minutes before running out the door in the mornings!

Comment on this post »Forward Twistback into Bun | Updo Hairstyles
December 24, 2010
Interestingly enough, I found the idea for this hairstyle from an article on 2011 Hair Trends which highlights the new trends in high fashion being various forms of twists! They found that Prada, YSL, and Blanc de Chine are all using twist hairstyles in their Spring 2011 fashion shows. Even neater, the author features one of our oldest twist styles from YouTube.
I have always loved using twists in my hairstyles and have many of them listed on this website. What I love about this particular style is that it has a very modern look to it, and it can be used for pretty much any occasion (Prom, Homecoming, ballet, weddings, formal events, etc).
