Blowout for Bob Hairstyle

This is currently a staple hair routine for me! Learning to use a round brush has totally changed my hair! I used to just use a vented brush to dry my hair, and then I would go back in with the hair straightener. I was always battling frizz! I would blow my hair dry and then use the flat iron to try to tame the frizz, which never totally worked. In fact, it probably just made it worse because I was frying it with the flat iron. Anyway, this blowout routine has saved me from all of that!

July Instagram Round-Up

Hey guys! It is time today to post my July Instagram Round-Up. I am so behind on blog posts, so I am posting a whole bunch today to get caught up!

This is a photo showing my 9 month pixie grow-out! At this time I was feeling very satisfied with the growth and change I was noticing!

As you can see by my shirt, this was the Fourth of July! This was a fun cute style that wore well outside all day. It kept my hair out of my face, which is a must for me if I will be outside or super active throughout the day.

I compiled this photo because I had been receiving requests to see progress of my hair growth. Isn't this satisfying to look at? I wish I could have shown more sides of my hair, but it was just too many pictures!

I am so in love with this style! Can you say summer?

This is a photo that I took just after getting my hair trimmed. I was in desperate need of a cut and it felt amazing to get it back into shape!

One morning getting ready for work, I wanted to try something a little different. I tried this double braid and I loved it!

This is a simple style that I wore as I was trying to just get one more day out of my curls! I teased it up big and added a little side french braid.

I've been wanting to try this style for so long, but my hair wasn't quite long enough. It finally is long enough to work! When I posted this on Instagram, I cannot believe how many requests I got for a tutorial, so that will definitely be coming up!

Do I have to say one more time how much I am loving buns?!

I love trying fun things with my hair, but I just wanted to show that a pretty blow-out is beautiful, too!

Get Ready With Me

I used to post lots of makeup tutorials on my YouTube channel, and most of those are no longer up on my channel. My very first love and reason for starting YouTube in the first place was hair! With such heavy saturation of Beauty Vloggers, I decided to take my channel back toward hair. While I am enjoying that so much, I want to continue filming some more relaxed Get Ready With Me style videos. I know that I have some viewers that prefer makeup videos and some that prefer hair videos. This is a way for me to get a little bit of makeup action in there. I also just enjoy talking to you all about some new products that I love and things like that! Let me know what you think about this style of video!

9 Month Pixie Undercut Growth

Here is my 9 month pixie undercut grow-out! This was a very exciting video for me, because since having a pixie cut I've never grown it so long!



Top Knot for Short Hair

June 2016 Instagram Round-Up

Hello, there! I am so horrible at blogging, but I really want to make more of an effort to keep this up. I should have more time available in the future to make that happen! Here is my very late June Instagram Round-Up. Make sure you follow me there for current posts!

The fun bun, top knot, whatever you want to call it is a huge favorite of mine! Don't we all love a good bun and now that my hair is long enough to enjoy it, I am taking full advantage!

This is another favorite that is super quick and I always get lots of compliments when I wear it! I think it just looks a bit more fancy than it actually is! Large Dutch Braid Tutorial

I found this gorgeous rose gold headband at Walmart. I love when I find great things in unexpected places. As I am typing this I am thinking that I need to find another cute style to incorporate this headband!

For some reason this hairstyle just looks like summer to me! I love the braid in combination with the fishtail braid!

I decided to  come up with this style because I am seeing so many long-haired gals wearing dutch braid pigtails. This is my version for short hair! Pigtail Dutch Braid Tutorial

Another fun bun!! Fun Bun Tutorial

This photo was taken the day after I had curled my hair. The waves had relaxed out and I was left with this beautiful soft wave.

Sometimes I want to try a new hairstyle, but I don't have tons of time to mess with my hair before work. This one was so simple to do and I got lots of compliments on it!

This is a compilation of all of my most liked photos on Instagram. I thought this was so fun to see! It also helps me to see what you guys are enjoying from me!
