8 Cute Ponytail Hairstyles For Summer!
Today we are sharing 8 quick and easy ponytail ideas, including simple step by step instructions.
During the summer and hot weather, we have been loving hairstyles that keep our hair up, off of our necks, and out of the way. These hairstyles would be great for summer vacations, the beach, swimming, riding bikes, working out, sports, barbecues, etc. These ponytails don't have to be just for summertime either. These styles would be great for back to school and many other every day occasions.
You may recognize some of these styles if you are a long time subscriber of our hair tutorials. This is a compilation video of some of our favorite ponytail hair styles from the past! We have gathered them all in one video, hoping to save you time searching if you are specifically looking for ponytail
ideas.

Baby Birds Hatching To Leaving The Nest In 5 Minutes!
Hey guys! We normally don't post anything other than hairstyles on this blog, but once in awhile we see something so cool, we just have to share! Hope you don't mind something different today.
This Spring we had a Robin build a nest and lay eggs in our backyard. We were able to document the process of them growing up and leaving the nest! We were shocked at how fast they went from 3 little blue eggs, to skinny bald pink creatures, to cute little chubby birds with feathers.
Watch from the tiny eggs hatching, to grown up birds in a 5 minute time lapse video! (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
The entire process took about 1 month. Around 2 weeks for the eggs to hatch, and another 2 weeks for the babies to grow and leave the nest. Crazy! We were so impressed with the mother bird and her dedication to her nest. We had the worst weather ever with wind, rain, hail, sleet, freezing temperatures, and snow! She kept the eggs and babies warm, fed, and safe. Miraculously all 3 baby birds survived. Hope you enjoyed our "nature video." :) See you again soon with more hair related content!
2 Adorable Hairstyles Using The Bow Tie Braid
For today's hair tutorial we are sharing 2 of our favorite hairstyle ideas using the "bow tie braid."
If you are a long time subscriber, you may remember seeing these styles on our blog in the past! We thought they were too cute not to surface them again.

The bow tie braid is so pretty and unique and could be used to create so many different hairstyles and looks! You could use this basic idea to accent updos, half ups, down hairstyles, ponytails, and more. Depending on how you use this braid, it could work for formal events or every day occasions.... from prom, to work, or school.
Tips and tricks:
- Using the same number of strands on each side of the braid as you gather them into the elastic and take them back out will help to keep things looking symmetrical.
- I would also recommend using hair product on each individual strand to help control flyaways.
- Taking small sections as you create your lace braids on each side of the bows will make things look neater and better.
Spiral Twist Fishtail Braid Hair Tutorial
Our hair tutorial today shows how to create a pretty "spiral twist fishtail braid" ponytail hairstyle.
This braid is very simple to create, but will leave people wondering how you did it! We love that this braid gives sort of a 3D illusion. It is hard to tell where the braid starts and where it ends... with a fishtail running along the top, as well as twisting along each side of the braid, and crossing over the front. So fun!Spiral Twist Fishtail Braid Video Tutorial (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
As shown in our video above, strategic stretching along the edges of the braid really makes this style pop. Also, it is optional but placing a few bobby pins to hold the braids together as we did will help create the illusion of it being one braid instead of 2.
This ponytail style will work best with long and medium length hair. Big, loose, messy, and disheveled braids are trending right now. So feel free to stretch, fluff, loosen and twist to your hearts content!
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- 1 medium size hair tie for the top of the ponytail
- 2 temporary hair ties or clips for the ends of the braids
- 1 medium size hair elastic for the end of the braid
- Several bobby pins (optional)
- Hair product to help prevent flyaways

Prom Hair Tutorial, Dress and Shoes!
GRWM Prom! Come join us as she gets ready for her first Prom.
Hey guys! A few weeks ago my daughter went to the Prom at her High School. We filmed as she got her Prom hairstyle done, showing step by step how to recreate it in a tutorial for you. She chose to wear a pretty updo with braids and twists and a sparkly headband as an accessory.

This updo is great for long hair, but would also work for shorter hair. The buns could be easily adjusted for the length of hair you are working with. We love this updo because it looks fancy and gorgeous but is fairly quick and easy, and requires no heat or pre curling of her hair (except for the optional pieces we left out framing her face.)
She went with a natural makeup look (which her aunt helped her with) a statement necklace, and minimal earrings. As you can see in our video, her dress was a modest vintage style and very princess like! We made a video a few weeks ago showing how to lace up this dress, which is a lovely corset back.
The dress was long enough that no one could see her shoes anyway, so she decided to go with the trend of Converse comfort! Best decision ever for the dance and for fun.
Hope you enjoyed a peek at her first Jr Prom!
