 This is actually a highly requested video from a number of you that have asked me repeatedly to kind of do a hair tutorial. Well I don't feel that I have the knowledge or the skills to do a true hair tutorial but since the question has come up repeatedly to show how I use and apply my fake hair pieces when I put my hair up, how am I doing that? So that's what this video is all about and maybe a little bit of me rambling because see what I did to my neck? Can you see that? I caught my neck but anyways I digress so if you're interested in seeing how I do my sort of casual very very casual updo stay tuned. Okay let's get at it. So first things first and I've mentioned this many many a times in the past. I buy most of my hair pieces either in Sally's or Ulta. I am lucky enough that I can usually get a hair piece that matches my own hair pretty well. So I like to have the the straighter wrap as you can see here. This is a straighter wrap look and I like this one a lot and this is the same thing except that this was a full of packages. A thinner one and a full of package and sometimes you can get a double which I really like because oftentimes you can apply two of these. So these are two that are this is sort of my backup stash. I keep these in my bag because I don't use them until I'm not going to use them until my other ones have kind of worn out or I feel they're too trashy to continue to use. Does that make sense? The ones in Sally's that I bought are a more of a curlier and when you use these hair pieces depending on the look you're trying to create if it's a real formal look I'm going to go with the curlier one as opposed to the straighter one but if it's a more casual kick back relax I just want to throw my hair up I'm going to use the straighter ones for sure. Those are my preferred ones that I use to go to work and usually. I do have a couple of the curly ones they look like this. I normally will manipulate these pieces before I attach them. In other words I have a pick something with more of a wide tooth and I kind of manipulate the curls a little bit. You have to be really careful with these because these curly ones if you comb them out too much they'll get a real frizzy look as you can see. So you know they're not made I mean they're probably I probably paid on sale at Sally's with my hairdressers discount. I mean I paid probably about $12 or something like that so I bought two of them in the curlier ones and you can see when you're looking at the packages whether a curlier or whether they're straighter and there are a really good variety of colors there's some really blonde blonde colors and then there's some you know darker browns and reds and stuff like that so they really have a great great variety so this would be for more of a formal look for me but usually during the week when I'm going to work I'm going to do something like you're seeing right now. I've already kind of casually and I use the Invisibobbies or any other type of an elastic when I pull my hair up. Now my hair is shorter in the back so I usually have a lot of fallout and I just turn so you can kind of like see what I've done. So this is I just pulled it up and it's in Invisibobby and I've done nothing else to it so if I want to have a real casual look I'll take these these are all this sort of scrunchie style so they're elastic so I will take this after I've manipulated the hair this is the straighter one not the curlier one and I will put it around my hair I'll pull it through double it sort of so to speak and you can almost immediately see the look that I have got now I have not played with it because I didn't double over my own natural hair my own natural hair is sticking out straight so usually have to look in a mirror to see how it looks in the back to see whether I need to fold it in to see what I need to do and I am perfectly content with this look just the way it is for me to go out today very casual go to work this is the look now the way I would normally finish it is I have several I have several hair clips claw clips there are some that are flatter that are a little bit more comfortable but I have several I have larger ones I have smaller ones I have several of these so normally I would be taking a hair clip whichever one I want and I would go up like this you know if you can see it and I pull my own hair up and I would bring this close to the top you don't have to do this but usually when I do that it's sort of like finishes my look it does look like I have a claw clip holding it all up yeah I mean right now it's a little bit messy but I also like to have more of my bangs in the front when I pull my bangs off my forehead it's much more of a stark look so I will take some bobby pins I will secure this to my bobby you know my head with bobby pins and I would be good to go for the day I've doubled the wrap around my own hair so it's really tight on my hair I feel totally comfortable I also have some really cute little hair accessories I didn't bring them all in I don't want this video to be super long but have some really cute little hair accessories I don't know if you can see these and I have a number of them I have some just pure rhinestones I have all sorts of different clips the the things that I caution you about when you buy the really fancy clips and pins and combs barats is if they're metal they're heavy and if you don't have a lot of hair volume it can weigh your hair down it can pull it down too so I'm very careful on how I apply this when I went to the wedding my niece's wedding I put my hair up in one of these and I did apply a bunch of little pretty little you know pins with the little diamonds on it so now I'm going to take this off just to show you again my own hair right here sticking out if I I also have a more casual little tiny wispy one this actually had a clip that came with it but there are times that I pin this right to the top of my head I'm home and I'm home all weekend and or whatever and I don't really want to do anything sometimes I just walk around in the house like this and then I'll take a comb and I'll twist this up and I'll just put like a you know whatever a comb in the back just to pull it up but I like the look of the messier messier look so this is a this is a wispy piece that I also bought in Alta and I left my bobby pins right here and this is like 10 bucks so when they have the 20% off or their you know their sales I I'm gonna buy another one because I long lost a little clip it had a little clip so it made it really super easy for you to add this little wisp wherever you wanted to have a wisp I love this this also comes in many different colors the other thing I also have is this and many of you asked about this little piece so this is sort of a braid and the color I think is really close to my own color so what I would do if I was going to use this sometimes you know I will put it right around my head but you've got to remember this has got the little cloth and you have to hide it if you're going to wear it or you're going to have to just wear it with your hair down which is what I've done in the past I've put it my hair down I just let my hair go down on it but if I was gonna wear this I would wear my pieces and I would double up on my piece so I might have my top one and I might have a bottom one so it looks like that and I would pin these in place and it would cover up a lot of it I really like the hair accessories there are times that I instead of putting my hair up so sometimes I just kind of twist my hair in a bun in a French you know sort of like a French twist and I twist it and then maybe I'll just go like this I try to pull it a little loose and then I'm gonna make a decision which one do I want I'm gonna take this and I'm going to wrap this around the outer edges of my my clip when I do it like this it does take a lot of manipulation because I like it a little higher on my head and sometimes if you have it lower on your head you just don't have enough volume etc but I do you know you don't have enough you don't have enough of the you know seeing it on top of your head which I like I like that look more so then take this off go back to my ponytail because that's the look I'm going to that's what I mean to create so my little visibobby pull this up once or twice three times I'm gonna go around usually I try to pull it and again I'm gonna go around twice depending on what I did with my hair how it looks will depend on whether or not this is sort of a finished look or not I always would add my clip so I'm gonna add my hair clip and sometimes if I don't want the whispies I'll take a bobby pin and I'll pin down the top part sometimes if I want more whispies I will add my other whispies I hope this kind of helps you see how easy it is for me I mean if you can get your hair no matter how short of a nubby up top of your head into a ponytail you can use one of these wraps whether it's the curlier wrap that you can get or the straighter look wrap and then you just get yourself some combs and some clips and you have to always try to you know when you're messing around with your hair it gets messier but you just get yourself some clips and you know whatever one whatever type of clip you want like this is the one I usually wear when I have the clippies it's it's bigger and I can wrap the thicker piece around it but whatever you really want and then you fix your bangs my hair is thinning my bangs to me is like where I really struggle to try to fix my hair the best you know to come up with a look and then as this falls down you can always pin it up with bobby pins again so that's how I create my updo it's really simple it's really simple I hate to even say this is any kind of a hair tutorial because I really don't feel it is so yeah and so I'm heading shopping and this is exactly how I'm going to go out I'm going to pin some of this in here and I am going to go out looking just like this casual little funky updo and put jeans on I've got sweatshirt on and that's it guys that's it thanks so much for watching if
