simply beauty.

I absolutely love buns, knots, braids and twists! As a hairstylist, I love when I can find beautiful hairstyles that don't take hours to perfect. Here are a couple of simple beauties I've broken down for you! :)

1. [tease] the crown.

2. bring hair back. keeping it close to your neck divide vertically in [2] sections.

3. drop one side, loosely fold and secure with [bobby's]

4. repeat with the other side; covering the ends of the [1st] side, tucking and pinning into the first section.

1. tease at the crown.

2. at the neck split into two vertical sections and [loosely braid.]

3. take both braids and tie them together in a [knot]- secure with bobby's.

A newer trend that is becoming quite popular is knots. A spin-off of the 90's trend combined with the chic and tousled looks today and we've got the knot! Re-invented of course. ;) Although it's called knots please don't confuse it with ratted, uncombed, unwashed hair! These knots don't require excessive brushing and insane amounts of conditioner. They're perfect for when you don't want to take the time to blow out or curl your hair. In a matter of 3 minutes your hair looks more put together and more stylish than just a boring old pony tail!!!

 All you need for these simple styles is a few rubber bands and bobby pins to match your hair color.Use a smoothing serum or wax to help mold the hair and tame fly-aways. My favorites are Pure Polish from Eufora because it smells like bubble gum! And Piece Works defining paste because somehow its tacky but not sticky :) Add volume to the crown for a more put-together look or leave some pieces out for the messy-chic look. Be creative and add a bow or headband or whatever you'd like. I love the one's found in the Dainty Woods, she makes the most amazing pieces and can even do custom orders. Check out her shop!

Happy Thursday everyone!!
