Where could I get cheap extentions? I hair is about 3 or so inches longer than shoulder length, and I do this hairstyle a lot, but my bun is much smaller looking than yours. I would probably only use the extentions for hairstyles like these.. and i don't have too much money.
This is great, I tried it today and it was super easy and looks awesome. I got complements on it by a couple of the girls at work! my hair is really fine so mine was much smaller than yours. I imagine it would have been somewhat the same had you not had extensions so I'm not worried. What does yours look like without extensions, could you post a pic or something? I just want to see if I was anywhere near close :)
I was wondering if you could do some easy hairstyles for summer looks. I love your looks but I am stuck for what to do on my girls holiday for my hair it's layered so doesn't plait to well and it's thick so doesn't stay up easy. Would like to do something that looks laid back but pretty. Please help!
I love your videos! You are one of my favorite gurus because you are so informative, nice, not fake, and you always seem to have fun in your videos. If you ever quit youtube i'm going to miss your terribly.
Im going to do this tonight for my friends graduation :) Im going to add my friends platinum blonde extensions (I have dark blonde hair) so it has different colored blondes going through the braids and a really pretty big yellow/orange flower from walmart on the side. Ill take a pic and post it to your facebook if it turns out as cute as I thing it might :)
I love all of your hair tutorials, u don't put a bunch of fluff in them. and these tutorial are proof you don't need a bunch of products to have cute hair.
@kkim620 they are blonde... about a level 9. go to my website and udner the cut and color section there is a full description of what i did and photos you can take to your stylist
I love the fact that you have thin hair and you do the most hairstyles then anybody else. I have thin and I feel like I can't do anything with it. My hair not long either I am growing it out. I just wish it didn't take so long.
Hey I have been told for me to not wash my hair everyday but it gets super greasy after a day it looks like I have not washed my hair for days and I only put hairspray in it because of that, do you know a trick that would make my hair not so greasy so fast?
@karumi834 same thing with me.....i don't know if this will help but i know that you can buy dry shampoo (in bottles like hairspray) and you can jut spray it in your hair and brush it through hope this helps :)
@karumi834 dry shampoo is the best bet on the second day. just dont by rock-a-holic by TIGI. it works well, but you can only get like 4 uses out of it. I like snappi brand if you can find it online. its a pink bottle. spraying some of that in your roots in the morning will help soak up the oils!!
@karumi834 it is kind of a bit of a myth that you cant wash your hair everyday, you can, but just make sure you use a shampoo that is for frequent use, and dont condition everyday. x
oh my god,this is so cute! the little feather clip thing makes it ever better! your so good at creating unique hairstyles that are so easy and and pretty! thanks love xoxo
i have a question... i am gonna dye my hair and i cant decide which to do... stay blonde or go auburn... im on the pale side with green eyes and darker brown eyebrows.... do you have any suggestions? everybody says i look best blonde but ive never tried any type of red before :)
Does this style kinda look grandma-ee? just asking or when the scarf is wrapped around it looks like that one cartoon chick that's flexing her arm muscles haha... Not hating! I like it tho! Do more hair styles :)
Super cute! Have you ever tried those spiral bobby pin things by the brand GOODY? They work fantastic on updos and avoid having to use a ton of bobby pins
thx for the video :) Just wondering.......... I have dark strawberry blonde hair and i want to put streaks in it either blue,pink or purple which do u think would be best? or do u have any other color suggestions??
I have a question to ask you! I really want to put turquoise highlights in my hair and my hair is dark like yours so I know I'd have to bleach those parts. But I'm wondering what dye I'm supposed to use? I'm going to go to the salon but I don't want to use something that will wash out and I have to keep redying but I didn't know if there are permanant hair dye for wild colors? It would really help if you could answer my question. :)
@mobandy64 no matter what you are going to have to re color it... bright colors like that fade SUPER fast. Reds, purples, blues, greens etc. so you want to make sure you buy some of the color for at home use so you can frequently color it. I would look into Manic Panic.
I love the braided bun, my hair is super thin so I would probably need extensions just to make the bun look bigger... that or I would have to really give my hair a lot of volume beforehand... I will have to try this look though, it's super cute and offers a nice dressed up bun.
Beautiful Hairstyle... I always thought that with the Extensions that the Peices that connect the hair peice in would stick out if you wore your hair up.. (silly me) they must make them a whole lot different now..The older ones would stick out if you tried to wear your hair up..
I watched so many hair tutorials and never try them out. I did finally tried this one out and I love it. My sisters love it too! Thank you for this beautiful easy hair tutorial Carah! Xoxo
omg it looks gorgeous, like wedding hair:)but my hair is too short:( it doesn't come out as volumious as yours.I sould deff have extensions for this hair
