Single Twistback | Mom Hairstyles

Monday, May 16th, 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

You can view all the many wonderful video responses and comments here!

Happy Hairdoing!

Twistbacks into Messy Bun | Mom Hairstyles

Tuesday, April 5th, 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!

Curly Hairstyles: Beachy Curls

Friday, December 31st, 2010

By popular request, I have included another curled hairstyle that I use on my girls (and often on me as well). This is a beachy-curled look that is very popular right now with teenagers and models… which I am non-suprisingly calling “Beachy Curls”.

There are many ways to get this curled look ( for example: Curlformers, Strawlers, heat, or rag curls, etc). In this tutorial, I show how to do it quickly with a curling iron.

Due to time constraints on the video file size, I had already curled much of the hair and just left a small section undone for you to see exactly how it is that I get these curls. (As always, please remember to use a good heat protectant whenever you use an iron! I used Suave’s Sleek Heat Protection Spray right before we filmed this. It simply helps protect the hair from damage and conditions it as well.)
