2 Updo Hairstyles For Homecoming
Today's hair tutorial video features 2 of our favorite bun hairstyles that we thought would be perfect for Homecoming or Prom. If you are looking for a unique and fairly easy updo, either of these sleek and glamorous buns will do the trick.
We originally posted these hairstyles 5 years ago when my daughter was only 11. She's 16 now and will actually be going to her own High School Homecoming in a few weeks! We are assuming many of you have never seen this video, so we wanted to resurface it again.

This tutorial shows how to create these bun hairstyles using a knotted braiding technique. These 2 styles would not only be great for formal dances, but many other occasions including: Weddings (bridal hairstyle, or flower girl hairstyle) communions, baptisms, recitals, church, Easter, etc.

4 Easy Headband Hairstyles For School In 5 Minutes
Cute, no-heat headband hairstyles for every day wear!
Hey guys! We are always looking for simple and quick hairstyles for school mornings and thought these headband styles from our YouTube channel would be perfect for back to school season. These "5 minute hairstyles" are all super easy but still look fashionable, even though they take very little effort! The headbands add a stylish finishing touch and of course can be changed up and matched to your outfit of the day.
4 Simple Headband Hairstyles Video Tutorials:
(Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
Hair tutorial #1 features a classic twist on each side of her head, finishing in a low fishtail braid.
Hairstyle #2 is a trendy half up hairstyle with extra micro braids wrapping around the headband. We used a silver braided headband and placed it high on her forehead.
Hairstyle #3 is the easiest of all! A fancy side ponytail with a twist wrapping around the back.
Hairstyle #4 features a pretty beaded headband placed between 2 small braids. We created no heat waves by sleeping in braids overnight to complete this look.
All four of these hairstyles can be done with straight hair, wavy hair, or curly hair. Medium length hair or long hair will work best.

Bandables Twisty Braids Headband Review and Tutorial
Today we are testing the "bandables twisty braids headband" by Localoc. We saw this at our local Walmart and thought it looked cute and fun to try.
We are always looking for easy hairstyles for school mornings and thought it would be perfect for those days when you need a 5 minute hairstyle. (Which is pretty much every school morning at our house!)
This would also be a great accessory for 2nd or 3rd day hair, to help disguise when it's looking slightly greasy. For those of you who are growing out your bangs, this would be fabulous as well!
Review and Tutorial Video: (Click here to watch this hairstyle video directly on YouTube.)
We liked that the little hair elastics on this headband held her hair back quite tightly without pulling or clamping her hair. We've tried similar options in the past (with barrettes or clips attached to the headband) and it seems like you need exactly the right amount of hair to make those work. We've had trouble with the hair being too thick to clip the barrettes shut, or the hair being too thin and sliding right out. So, the elastics are a great option that will accommodate all different hair textures and thickness.
There are many different hairstyles that can be created using this headband. We have shown just a few basic ideas in this video:
A half up twist.
If you play sports, I think this would be a nice option for keeping your hair out of your face. You could add a ponytail, bun, or braid and be ready to go.
I think this would look really cute with curled, wavy, or crimped hair as well as straight. This would also be perfect for short hair, as well as long. So fun!
We unfortunately were not able to find this available to purchase online yet... I think it is too new. Here are some similar headbands on Amazon, but none with the elastics yet:
Headband 1, Headband 2, Headband 3. You might have better luck finding this at your local drugstore or retailer.
3 Back To School Hairstyles 2019
It's back to school season and we are excited to share 3 of our favorite quick and easy DIY hairstyles that would be perfect for busy school mornings!
These are all "no heat" hairstyles and could work for elementary through high school students.
The first hairstyle in our 2019 compilation series is called "gathered braids." This simple hairstyle consists of 3 regular braids banded together to form a cute half up hairstyle. Just a little something extra instead of the same old one braid half up!
Our next hairstyle is called the "palm tree bubble braid." This fun style looks a lot more difficult than it actually is. All that is required are a few mini elastics and the ability to make some regular 3 strand braids! My daughter wears this style quite often as a half up (as shown) and also utilized with a full ponytail.
The 3rd hairstyle in our video tutorial today is the "interlocking floating bubble braid." This technique can be used to create so many amazing hairstyles and just looks so cool. Definitely an attention grabber!
Supplies needed to recreate these easy hairstyles:
- Small hair elastics. (The amount will depend on the hairstyle you are creating as well as the length of hair you are working with.
- Hairspray, gel, wax, or other hair product to help prevent flyaways.
- The ability to make a basic 3 strand braid. (For all 3 styles.)
- Medium length or long hair.

Today's hairstyle tutorial is a beautiful updo style created using a simple fishtail braid!
Our step by step video instructions (below) show how to make a simplified french fishtail braid, transitioning into a standard fishtail, then wrapping and tucking the finished braid into a pretty updo hairstyle. This formal hairstyle is quite easy even though it doesn't look like it would be!

(Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)This hairstyle would be great for many special occasions: The Prom, Homecoming, weddings (hairstyles for the bride and bridesmaids as well as guests) parties, dinners, church, etc.
As mentioned in our video, the braid can also be left down for another adorable look!
Tips and tricks:
- Use hair product to help prevent flyaways while you are creating the fishtail and for the finishing touches.
- Stretch the edges of your braid for a more voluminous final look.
- Miniature bobby pins (affiliate) are easier to hide in styles like this.
- You may want to loosen the hair at the crown of her head before you wrap up the braid for a softer and more effortless look.

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.
2 Bow Tie Braid Hairstyles, Video Tutorials: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
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.
Easy Prom Hairstyle Tutorial:
(Click here to watch the tutorial directly on YouTube.)
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!
