My fav has been the french braid bangs tutorial. I can braid anything on anyone else but not on my self but thanks to your handy lesson, I can do it now! It's perfect for the days when I just don't feel like fighting my overgrown bangs.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, this is Rebecca in Wisconsin. I have to say the braided bun is my fav. I work in the healthcare field so it's a cute look that doesn't get in my way :) ( beccasgarden@yahoo.com)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite hairstyle you've shown is the messy bun. I wear it all time! Thanks for all the great ideas! I can't wait to see what you come up with next year! Merry Christmas!

My favorite is the elegant half up, I wore it to see the Nutcracker lastnight and it was perfect for the occasion! I also style my bangs the way you taught me. I use that one everyday!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you do and Merry Christmas!

PS-I love the nail polish color. :-)
I am a regular follower (daily!) and have now ventured to use the Aquage products (changed my life!) and my favorite hair tutorial this year (among alllll of them!) is the braided bang-- which by the way I am sporting today, with stick straight hair.
ReplyDeleteThank you so so much for your awesome advice and tutorials! You're amazing!

I love, love, love the messy bun! I've used it several times! Big fan of this blog!
ReplyDeleteI just started following your blog w/in the last couple of months (thanks Pinterest). I don't know how long this tip has been up but I LOVE the video you posted on how to curl your hair! I also like the tip on the bobby pins. I now put them in correctly. I am a follower of you blog! cactusroper2002@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI recently cut my hair and I loved learning how to curl my new shorter hair. Though it never turns out quite as well as yours.

I think my favorite and most used tutorial was the bouncy curled under. I do it all the time! Love this blog so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate-
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and visit everyday. I love recreating the "bouncy bob". I roll my hair with my fingers and pin it to give it the extra volume like you demonstrated and I get SO MANY compliments!
Merry Christmas

Love watching your hair tutorials. I think my favorites so far are the braided side bun (tried that one on Sunday), the half-up braids, and the knotty half of the knotty or nice Christmas styles. I am curious if knotting your hair is easy to take out at the end of the day. My hair is thick and sometimes I have trouble getting a simple elastic out. lol. Anyway, Merry Christmas and have a wonderful holiday! E-mail is: redhed44@msn.com
ReplyDeleteI love the "knotty" updo! I wore it to work yesterday and got tons of compliments! (katiekern@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI love the french braid updo! It's tough to master, but I'm getting close! Your blog is so much fun :)

I recently took the plunge and cut my hair short! I'm loving the tutorials on getting volume with a straightener!

I love your tutorial on the pony tail. The one where you showed us the difference between a "going to the gym ponytail" and a really great going out pony! Thanks for all you do xo

ReplyDeleterowatters@hotmail.com
I've been following your blog for months--love it!!! My favorite is the bouncy curled-under. Love that you're sharing the pincurl technique, it's so tried and true :)
ReplyDeletemichea_johnson@yahoo.com
Well I just found your blog today and I am so excited to try these different hairstyles!!! I have previously thought of myself as "hair-challenged" so I am hoping that my hair is as cooperative as yours in the videos! You make it look so easy!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite so far in the actual hairstyles is probably the Half Up to Full Updo (I wear my hair curly a lot) or the Messy Ponytail/Bun because it seems something really easy to do but elegant!
I love your blog! Thanks for sharing all of this wonderful information with us regular girls!!!
Merry Christmas!!

I LOVE the messy bun! I have tried for ever to do it and now can with ease thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteLove Essie! I didnt know you can curl your hair with a straightener. Guess I never tried it since I always thought it was for straightening. Who knew, right? I've been practicing and it really works! Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteI just started following your blog, it's fantastic. My favorite hair post was your hot rollers tutorial. It was so helpful.
ReplyDeletejillbartelscohen@gmail.com
Pretty polish! I enjoyed your how to curl hair with a flat iron tutorial. You have also inspired me to maybe think about getting long side swept bangs and a shorter length at my next hair appointment. Happy Holidays!!
ReplyDeleteI love the half up twist! Love your blog and your tutorials - so very helpful!
ReplyDeleteCarolinaOnMyMind12@yahoo.com
I love the bangs. My hair is cut almost exactly like yours but I can never get the bangs right!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the knotty updo perfect for the holidays!
ReplyDeletewygaljessica@yahoo.com
All of them, but I love the twisty bangs!

Thanks for the giveaway Kate! I love your blog. I run a lifestyle blog at http://everydayloungeact.blogspot.com & your blog has become one of my top 3 favs. My fav tutorial (& I watch it repeatedly) is curling my hair w/ the curling iron. I have naturally wavy hair & this just gives me a sleek, defined look. Keep up the good work! (everydayloungeact@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI love the elegant half up. Also, I found your blog through the bouncy curled under and still wish I could make my hair do that!

Merry Christmas! I follow your blog and love all of your ideas, right now I'm hooked on the hidden braid. I'm a fan of the messy ponytail as well! Jessicajenkins1014 (at) gmail . Com
ReplyDeleteBouncy Curled Under is my favorite, and I love that you took pics of your cut from all angles...my stylist appreciated that! I'm wearing Essie Chinchilly now with one nail on each hand bedazzled with OPI Crown Me Already. One can never have too much greige polish!
ReplyDeleteI am wearing your messy bun right now and I love it!
