[DrewMIchealMelvin]

u have the hair of a goddes! :)

ccheck me out if u value the sun!

[AllThingsFabulous21]

I just realized ...you kinda look like gwenth paltrow. You should do a makeup tutorial inspired by her. Just a thought haha

[bwayangel7]

errrrmmm wat happened to a girls best friend??? heat protectant!!!!!!

[xcassycakessxoxo01]

ur sooooo pretyyy! and i perslnally thought that ur hair looked fine before u did anything to it

lol

[smileybaby97]

you and blair look SOOOO similar in soo many ways! except the hair ;) I WANT A SISTER!

[xMelissaStephaniex]

I thought you said you had naturally curly hair?

[MacaylaCarlene]

i dont have a natural part in my hair..it goes anyway I put it..but i usually do that to my hair..i almost never straighten my hair down

[thorn1212]

really good tips.

[mirandaisgross]

Yay I like flat ironing my hair because it makes it less frizzy but I hate when it just lays there like a limp noodle lol

[illise]

great tips, i actually hgave a lot of volume in my hair even if i use a straightener so i prefer it really down lol

[Sabie2727]

My "ponytail crinkle" is like from the moon and baack. -.-

[Lorea1991]

Can you do a video one day showing your hair natural? Because you always say it's naturally really curly but I've never seen that ever..are you lying?

[longfilly]

great informative video,....I never knew about the part length,...hmm, I gotta try that.

[sexyaustrailianchick]

What kind of moisturizer do u use?

[aandie1]

do you take your extensions off?

[exoticbeauty19]

Oh my goodness thank you so much!! I love straight volumized hair but I have a really long part and am very insecure about it.

[purpletwinkle22]

great video :) and my hair gets really staticy, do u have any tips??

[sensesectors]

You can also give volume to your hair by installing a volume knob on the side of your head and cranking it to 10.

[ltilboba]

Hi Elle! I love this kinda videos: they have tips, u show the full tutorial (I hate when they cutt it in peaces and then say what they didn't film...)... Do more videos like this!

Kiss

[Madelinexoxoxo]

her hair is not naturally like that its 2nd day hair so when she woke up it was still kinda styled stright from the day before

[poppycorn146]

You should wait your hair up more often, it really compliments your face shape! :)

[sunshine208100]

I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOUR HAIR OMG!!

I have naturally super curly hair, but not a nice curl. I straighten it almost everyday and it takes forever. Yours is so straight and healthy! LUCKY!!

[jessii207]

[waytogo246]

[punkrockprinjess]

If I could wake up every morning with hair like yours ( naturally) I would never need any heat tools, i wouldnt even need to watch youtube videos on hair how tos

[88beautymarked]

no heat protector?

[TheWierdoTeens]

Your hair is sooo strait ! how come ? a year ago or something it was a lot frizzier ! I dont mean that in a bad way, Ioove your hair nomatter what (:

[annaczxxify]

i love your videos!!!

[smaginn]

Elle, what drugstore shampoos would you recommend?

Your hair looks beautiful :)

[Minalicious1]

random question: a lot of the products last max 24 months I wonder what the gurus do with their gazzillion products because I don't think you can use soooo many products in two or three years even if you use make up EVERY day .. or am I wrong?

[dkzrox]

did you get your extensions out?

[kekitty04]

her hair looks the same from the bigining to end of the video...

[LevarenMeow246]

i wish i had hair like urs -.-

[jacqui95xo]

backcomb in a bottle is theee best! i love it

[1mike0402]

i thought with the ghd u only pass it once??? is it really the best straightner ever?

[rayyovsunn24]

I love her and all, but it kinda made me laugh when she said she has natural curl to her hair!! like, where?? I'll trade my curls for yours !!!! [=

[passionfruit2121]

your hair looks better natural than straight! you are so lucky!

[vikkimmm]

I'm so happy you did this video! I've needed this for sooo long!!!

[lovehair13]

hm. 229 people don't have straighteners

[claudia62782]

Did you do something to your lips, they look so pretty! if not what color is that I love it

[tigerluver43]

im absolutely in love with your bedding! its exactly what i want! i love black and white floral prints and i love the color purple so that just makes it a million times better! you have amazing taste lol

[lizcm87]

Elle I have been using BigSexyHair Powder Play for a few months now and love it. It's nearly impossible for me to get volume to my hair without a ton of teasing and this does it for me. Check it out.

[flowerchild528]

nice tips! i'm definitely going to try this out :)

[mari3louis3c]

excellent informative video <3

[girlnature707]

go blonder

[eatsleepdance1645]

Your hair is beautiful dont get me wrong...but your hair does not have natural curl to it haha

[victoriassecretjerk]

Your hair looks really cute I guess because it looks thick but yeah........it does.............?!

[amygat27]

you look like gweneth paltrow

[lilliankale]

Great tip!!!

[BekahTheFabulous]

I have pin straight, super fine hair...but I love, love, love that full, voluminous look. I have a comb with the pointy tail and I did your little part-measuring-thingy and I saw that my part was too, too long! Putting my hair back/starting my "crown" sooner was JUST the thing I needed! I had HUGE hair and it lasted all day!!

Thank you so much for including that trick in your video!!

[iLoveBiebs196]

Wait, whats the brand of ur straightner..? thats the one my hairdresser uses.. its amazing.. :)

[SweetCaroline432]

hey girls! i just started a new channel.

[101PunkLuv]

ahahah Umf nice onomonopia :)

[TheCassandraRose]

Thanks so much for the tips.

I have very flat hair too, especially when I flat iron it (I have naturally ugly, wavy hair), so thanks so much for this. :)

[lucydelilahlola]

when you had your hair half up/bottom half straightened you looked stunning and i would die for your cheekbone structure!

[bunnietech]

Have you tried that volumizing crimper tool? :) My friend uses her crimper for the middle layer of her pin straight hair and it looks so pretty!

[couturekitties07]

your hair grew a lot from the time you got your extensions in to now. that's awesome (:

[gymnastchick509]

you look a little like gwenyth paltrow ahaha

[danivilledaniville]

ur hair looks much better then when u put bonding

[unicorns0are0real]

ELLE WE HAVE THE SAME NIGHT TABLE!!! 

[florentinalola]

[coast2coastgirl]

i love your hair tutorials!!!!

[florentinalola]

thank you for putting this comment up, I just was thinking about this the other day, I thought my hair was really flat with a flat iron!

[delightfultea]

[MsWoodward08]

Do you lighten your hair or are you a natural blonde?

[Hattie1994]

2nd day hair ? Mine only needs washing every 5 five days !

[Horsesandmusic13]

haha i tried the comb -part method on my hair, did not work for m e. haha

[fersiita00]

no background music?, 

[emilyflay]

I love the "where your part should end" tip...I have a part that goes on forever! Thanks

[EquineGurus]

You haven't posted a video in so long! I missed you!

[ibarbara1000]

You look so much like Blair! It's crazy!!!

[Amyyyy10]

I did this today ! thanks so much Elle ! :)

question; when I curl my hair with a curling wand it ends up having a lot of volume on the sides instead of the back or the top, what do you recommend doing so i get volume where it should be? And also the curl doesnt stay in my hair for a very long time, maybe an hour at the most, what hairspray would you recommend for everyday and for when i curl my hair ?

[samanthalaurenberry]

i have a natural long part too!

[zumrovstar]

Gorgeouss!!!! :)

[Shelbsterz11]

You and Blair are so beautiful. Inside and out :)

It would make my year if you would comment back :)

Love, Shelbi <333

[jamiemonroe30]

ooh Thanks for the video and the tricks:) I LOVE LOVE YOUR HAIR LIKE THIS ITS SUPER PRETTY...

[v0lL3yb4llTALL]

Oh wait, it is a dif video! Nevermind!!!!!!

[XDmaddiluv]

or to get lift, just blow dye your hair upside down :)

[v0lL3yb4llTALL]

Yesterday it was called: 'large'

[jenjen1519]

For some reason, you talked a little differently in this video: i like it :)

[kaylee144]

you can also put a tiny bit of moose on your roots when your hair is wet and blow dry your hair while your hair is flipped upsidedown. it works really well :)

[LiLGiRLYxo21]

I liked these tips (: I have a really long part too, but when I make my part really short and push all of the other hair back it makes me look strange /:

[coradora3805]

when you curl your hair is it hard for you to get them to stay in? because it looks like it would be

[jamiemonroe30]

@coradora3805 it is soo hard for me to curl my hair b/c my hair is long to my butt and super thick i hate it when i cant curl my hair b/c its super pretty!!! the minute i curl them they uncurl right after im done:( any sugggestions on how to curl hard to curl hair?

Thanks!

[stars1885]

Great tips. Thanks alot!

[EverythingCupcake]

Elle, You should wear your hair more often. I mean of course your gorgeous regardless but you are absolutely stunning with your hair out of your face and off your neck!

[Hannackk]

did you put heat protectant in before you straightened... ?

[thatslaurenforyou]

@Hannackk  yes.

[faboluuucous]

@Hannackk

She probably did before :)

[vickysters]

hey elle! i just wanted to say thanks for this video ive been looking for a quick and easy volumizing solution, i tried it out this morning before work and it really did the trick!!! thank you so much.

[crazylife9416]

I JUST NOTICED HOW ALIKE BLAIR AND YOU ARE! :) NICE VIDEOS!

[lollipop8546]

what is the heat protectant you use? if you use one at all? :)

[ag28xoxo]

is this ur natural color?

[TheWorldIsMagical]

Do you still have your hair extensions ? :)

[sunnygirl2929]

Tip: when your hair is almost dry switch the side of your part and because your hair dosent natrally go that way it creates a TON of volume:)

[afrida122017]

You have dark eye circles :( Get some sleep Elle!

[IsmaProject]

This was really helpful =) You're so awesome!

[bestofbeehive]

Until a couple weeks ago, I never thought about using my flat iron to give my hair any lift. Thanks for a simple how-to!

[BeautySecrets12]

Hey Elle I love watching your videos and I think you look stunning in this video. I really want to start beauty tutorials focusing on hair. Do you have any starter hair tutorial ideas I need loads of help ! If you could get back to me I would be more than grateful. Thanks x :)

[BeautySecrets12]

Hey Elle I think you are absolutely stunning and this video has been soooo helpful. I really want to start doing beauty videos focusing more on hair, but I don't have any video ideas. Do you have any starter hair tutorial video ideas?....if you could get back to me I would be more than grateful :) x

[ruberduckies4u]

hey elle, so im really uncoordinated and i burn my ears alot (well twice but still OUCHY) haha so any way i was wondering if u had any ways i could stop that lmao and also how can i keep my hair straight for longer, it always curls again by around 2:30 ish (and i straighten it before school at 6 or 6 30 a.m.) thanks so much it would mean the world if u replied :) <3

[krswan72]

my part is the same way its such a pain in the butt. thats a super cool trick with the comb tho :)

[SugarChild13]

@allthatglitters21

Omg u responded to s comment. I've never been responded to b4. :( I really want a GHD but they're really expensive. How did you get one for free?

[MaggieConnellanMusic]

@SugarChild13 because she is a partner and the company knows a lot of people watch her videos so they send her products so she can let people know she likes them and they will go buy it.

[HollyGunns]

a quicker name in the UK- straightener :P

[xxaprilfoolxx]
