Double French Twistback | Short Hairstyles
June 29, 2011
By request, I have started to go through some of our short hairstyles that we have not yet filmed.
I have done this double twist hairstyle before in a photo tutorial, but here I decided to film it on my #4 daughter who has the short A-line bob. It is another simple way to pull the bangs back out of your face.
Although this is listed as a short hairstyle, it can be done on any length of hair. If you are concerned about flyaways… feel free to use a good pomade or fiber gum in the twists. Enjoy!
Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, 1 gator clip, one hair elastic, bobby pins, water bottle and hairspray (if desired).
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing,

Pretzel Twist into Messy Bun
June 14, 2011
This hairstyle is another quick one that can be done in under three minutes. It incorporates the use of a ponytail separated into two twists that form the shape of a pretzel, and then tied off with a hairband and finished into a fun messy bun.
You will find that this twist hairstyle is perfect for pretty much any occasion, formal or not, and can be ideal for a prom or homecoming hairstyle along with some really cute accessories.
You will find that the pretzel shape will look more uniform if the twisted strands are about an inch or two shorter than the length of hair in the video.
This style works on curly hair as well, and on girls of all ages. Enjoy!
Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, water spray bottle, pomade/gel/hairspray {if desired), 2 hairbands, ribbon or accessory {if desired}
Time Requirement: 3 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
*Note from Mindy: If you notice the extra large camera in the background, that is because ABC News in NY sent a camera crew to our home for an upcoming 20/20 primetime special on YouTube that will be airing either at the end of June or in July. In all, they were at our house nearly 8 hours so it sure made for a busy day! We are not sure of the air date, but once we do… we will let you know!
Happy Hairdoing,

Comment on this post »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!

Comment on this post »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
