Little Braided Bun

Yay! Well, everyone here's a brand new hair tutorial made by my dear friend Anastasia from Free & Wild and myself. Yesterday we kicked in and descied to make a very casual n' sweet hairstyle and I think this one really fills up our expectations. Normally, it's very easy, and I hope you'll enjoy it! We are both so excied!


First you'll want to braid a little braid on the side and just keep it there untill you use it. So, divide your hair into two sections. The upper section can be a little smaller than the other one. Now take the upper section and just make a low twist (like you're makeing a little bun) and pin it. Take the low section and braid a regular braid. Make sure that you don't pull it down when braiding, that'll just make a strange bump. Use an elastic to tie it. 

After that, take the braid and twist it around the mini bun. As you can see, we didn't find an elastic that matches her hair color, but you can always fix that by covering it with hair. Make sure that everything is solid so it won't fall off. At the end take the little braid and pin it under the bun. That will give you a beautiful, casual look. You won't need any hairspray, we also didn't use any hair products in this tutorial. Ana's hair is naturally thick and curly.

Nail Tutorial/Pink Crush

It's been a long time since I've posted a nail tutorial. Maybe because I got a little uninspired. Nail art never was a thing Im good at. But, I'm satified with just watching or adding glitter. My dear friend - Sanya, is very good at that, and she is always creative. So, all of you shoud visit her blog - When I'm Bored. I just love the name.

But, this is not about that. This tutorial is from one of my favorite blogs - The Wonder Forest. It's very simple, plus I get to add sprinkles. Hahahha. It's pretty easy adding them with a makeup sponge. They are a little bit stick so the glitter won't fall off. The white base is important to. So instead of adding multiple coats and messing everything up, you'll have the real bright color with only one coat. And just in case your nails have already dried, put a finishing colorless polish.

nail polish: FOREVER 21 "PEACH"
glitter: FOREVER 21 "CRYSTAL PINK"

Summer Braided Twist Updo

Remember Sara Lynn Paige? Her Gibson Bun tutorial is amazing! And really easy to make, it'll just look like you put some effort in it. So here's another beautiful & quick braid twist. As you already know, I always tend to post easy hair tutorials, even though it has braids or something like that. To be honest, I'm not that good at braiding them, sometimes I even mess up the regular ones. So don't worry. And for more info, visit Summer Braided Hairstyle l Katniss Reaping Braids.


You'll need to make two braids on each side of your head. Don't worry about a perfect part because you're going to comb over it so it looks like there was no part. Ok, some tips: braid your hair down your side, be careful not to pull it towards the front while braiding or you'lle be left with a strange bump when you pull it back. If you have shoulder length hair, start your braid more towards the back instead of on the side or the front. It might be a little tricky to braid behind your head, but it just takes practice.

One you finished the braiding part, pull back one side and lay it over, pin it, take the ends and tuck it underneath the braid so it won't be seen. Take the other side and pin it over the other. It doesn't really matter which side goes over the other.


Once you're done, you'll want to take a comb and just gently run over your past so it'll look clean.

The Piece-Y Pony

Need something to spice up your regular pony? Well here it is. The Beauty Dep. gave this is a perfect way to style it quickly & sitll looking amazing. Well, unfortunately, I went to my hair stylist a few weeks ago... Looks like my hair was a little bit more damaged than it thought it'll be. So, I finished with a shoulder lenght hair. Oh my, I'm still not used to it, but it seems that it fits me well. And it's better for a change, sometimes is good to jump out from your comfort zone.

Tools: curling iron, clear ponytail holder or a one that matches your haie color, some bobby pins, comb, hairspray.

Start by adding some curl to your hair from more texture. Tie a low ponytail. They made a line from the ear and used the hair on bottom for this. Then divide the top into 3 even sections. After that tease the middle section fir added volume and textures. Twist the middle secion and pin it into the low pony using bobby pins. Tease the side section for more texture. After that twist it back and pin it to the low pony using bobby pins. Repeat the teasing on the other side and, aswell, pin it to the ponytail. Pull a few pieces out aroud your face to soften the look. At the end, put some medium hold hairspray.

But here I am and I have loads of great hair tutorials in my booksmarks to show you. Here's one of them - the braidmaid hairstyle. It's called like that because it looks like a milk maid.

The blog belongs to a few girls that are glad to share their life and dedicate their blog to the little things in life. Just amazing!

Okay, the steps are very easy. First start braiding a classic french braid on the sides of your head. Pin the ends righ underneath the other against the head. Done!

Stylish Side Ponytail

Now that it's hot everyday we all need a simple stylish hairstyle that we can make without using heat. This is a very quick hair tutorial that I've personally made. Actually the first one I made. My sister Anya has been very helpful and agreed to be my model for this post. We hope you'll like it and be surprised how such a wonderful pony can be made in less that 4 min.

Preparation: tease the back hair on the top of you head. For more volume read the prev. post, or just use a dry shampoo. After you put on the shampoo leave it like that for a few minutes, or you'll be left wit a powdery mess.

Start by moving your hair to the side that has more hair. Tie it into a low ponytail. Note: if your hair has layers, use a few bobby pins to pin the fallen out parts. Pull the elastic down, just enough to make a hole (see picture 4.). Take the rest of your hair and put it in the hole. After that just tight it and style as you want. Pretty simple, ha?
