Today's tutorial is full of tricks. Maybe I have halloween on my mind, or maybe I'm just tricky like that.
Either way, this one is really simple to do!
It's especially great for thick hair, or hair that is difficult to pin up. Even if you have a "medium" (not thin, not thick) texture, though, it can still be a great tutorial for you!
You'll need a few clear elastics, a fairly decent amount of bobby pins and some hairspray. You can do a straight hair-ed version of this too, but you'll have an easier time with curls!
So cute!!
ReplyDeleteI want that dress!!
ReplyDeletego get it! it's GREAT!
DeleteKate I adore your hairstyles - you never run out of ideas.( I had a little giggle today as I think you meant to edit out "this is where we are" x3. Made it on the 3rd time!! ) Keep them coming! XX

Cute hair!
ReplyDeleteCannot wait for the video! My hair is really hard to pin all of it so this just might work for me! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the video!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Can not wait to try it on my naturally curly hair. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I have pretty thin hair, but I'm still hoping to give this a try. I'm attending a wedding on Friday, and I would love to have a great style like this!
ReplyDeletelove it! very cute :)
ReplyDeleteI have hair that's is very thick & waist length. Is there another kind of elastic bands that you could recommend? Thanks Kate
ReplyDeleteI'm not a hair expert, but since it looks like the elastics end up hidden in the final look, you could probably use regular elastics that match your hair color.
Deletelove it! very cute :)
ReplyDeleteu look adorable on this monday!
ReplyDeleteI love this up-do!! I have VERY long (waist length and VERY thick (horse tail ponytail!) hair so I have a hard time finding up-do's that work with my hair. What kind of curling iron would you suggest for a girl on a budget?
ReplyDeleteI just got a hot tools curling iron on sale at ulta for $35 and then with the $5 coupon off it was $30- very cheap for a quality hair tool!
DeleteActually I just looked at my receipt and in the ad it was 29.99 and with the $5 coupon I got it for 25:) ulta is the place!!
DeleteThat's not bad at all! Thanks for that advice! :)
DeleteThanks for taking the time to show us how to create simple yet fabulous updos! Love your blog ;)
ReplyDeleteKate, Love the tutorial :) Please let us know when the earrings are back in stock!
ReplyDeleteI have very thick hair and am looking forward to trying this also that minty color looks REALLY great on you :)
ReplyDeleteI love love love this look! I have lots of fine hair so this probably won't look the same on me but next time I curl my hair I'm going to give it a shot!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love the idea of making the separate pony tails...never thought of that! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou always have the BEST hair tutorials! I love this and can definitely benefit from it as i have majorly thick hair!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting a SEPHORA GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY on my blog if anyone is interested :)

ReplyDelete#meow
Woo-hoo!! Perfect timing! I need an easy cute style for a wedding we're going to and this is it!! My hair is the longest it's been in years (which isn't even very long) and I had no idea what to do with it...thank you for taking the time to do these tutorials. You're great!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the tutorial and the dress! Thinking about orderng it. If you wouldn't mind, what size did you order? Is it true to size?
ReplyDeleteKate:
ReplyDelete1-You're beautiful.
2-You have a great smile.
3-I love your tutorials. Just like you standing there teaching me how to do it!
:)
If I was rich, I would pay you to come over to do my hair and make-up every morning!
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Could I buy your closet from you? I love everything you wear! You inspire me...I just don't know how to put the inspiration into reality! :) You always look so fresh and pretty. Thanks for your blog - I (and many others) love it!
ReplyDeleteThat do looks so awesome! Love all your hairstyles!
ReplyDeleteI am about to order some of those little miracle bobby pins you use. I know you said Diane Brand on your FAQ, but what size and color do you use? I want the EXACT ones. You're awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this! Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Video! I can't wait to try this one! thanks so much
ReplyDeleteI do my hair similarly to this all the time. It looks great on you. I love updo's. I think having your hair down all the time is overrated! ;)
ReplyDeleteKate, could you tell me what lipstick you're wearing in this? It's so pretty!!
ReplyDeletedo you have a full body picture of this dress? thinking about buying it but target only has a pic of just the dress not on a person.. I kind of want to see how it fits :)
ReplyDeletelove the tutorial I have super long curly hair and love learning in these tutorials but there are very few that i could actually do.. at least without taking hours haha.. excited to do this one!
When you jam the bobby pins into the pony, do they go directly into the center area, or outside the elastic towards the center? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog via pinterest, and LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! I have shared it with numerous ladies after getting compliments on my hair!! I did this specific one yesterday, it was so easy to do, and so cute! Thank You So Much for sharing your knowledge with those of us (ME) that are not that great at fiddling with our hair!
ReplyDeleteBlessings on your day!
I love your hair and tutorials, but could you please do a post about how to style hair for winter accessories? I just bought a cute big headband/turban with a pretty jewel on it, and need some tips for how to style it. The hard part is the side-swept bangs and huge forehead I have.
ReplyDeleteAny tips on how to style hair with winter accessories would be great! Thanks!
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteYou have multiple styles on your hair tutorials very.similar to this one. Yet this is by far the easiest one! I am on day 2 hair and my hair was already.curly to start with. This style took me tops 15 minutes and looks like i went.and professionally.got it done! Where the others took a bit longer! And i used alot less bobby pins! I Ttyl all of your tutorials you post and have been able to do.almost all.of them! Thankyou for taking your time to teach.those of us who don't really know what to.do.with our own hair. Because.of this blog my hair.looks fantastic on a daily basis. Even.on the days it shouldn't! So thanks so much.for that!
ReplyDeleteI tried this for work today, super easy to follow, and turned out very nicely. I got several compliments! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTried this for the first time yesterday...super easy and I loved it! Thank you Kate!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of shoes are you wearing with outfit?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Tried it and loved it.
ReplyDeleteHello! I have just discovered your blog & I love it! It's a great help on "all the small things". I was wondering if you could make a video or blog about growing out an inverted bob and how to make the transition flattering. I think if I could get it into a long layered bob the growing out would be easier but I always cave when the back looks shabby and just reshape the cut. It's honestly the most difficult cut I have ever had. I had no idea the frequency in upkeep it would need or that it would look so awkward growing out. It would be a huge help to me and probably many others!!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog last week and it's amazing! I have tried this hairstyle several times over the last few days but I'm still having a few problems I'm hoping you might have some ideas about. How do you hide the bobby pins when you are pinning the top sections of hair? I end up with a row bobby pin ends sticking out at the top. Also, I can't seem to hide the rubber bands on the sides because they make the hair stick out so far. I thought at first that maybe they were too tight, but it didn't work any better the second time around when I loosened them up a little. I am using teeny tiny "invisible" rubber bands. Even with my problems though, I have gotten so many compliments! I look forward to trying all of the other hairstyles on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this, Kate! Did this for a wedding on Saturday and got many compliments! If you want to see how mine turned out, check out the pictures on my blog post! http://kimbaland.tumblr.com/post/33642342204/thats-a-wrap-2012-wedding-season-edition
ReplyDeleteWore this style tonight and got many compliments! By the end of the night, it was starting to "droop". Wondering if I did something wrong. Do you put the bobby pins in a certain place or direction? Thanks! Love your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Wearing it to a wedding today. Specially liked the kitty meow in the early part :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! I am a hairstylist and have really enjoyed these tutorials :) You and I appreciate the same hairstyles- loose & tossled, but elegant. LOVE! Can I ask what your haircolor formula is?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for making a video for people with thick hair! My hair is ridiculously thick, so I actually added a 4th pony above the three that I took from the crown section to make it more manageable, and then pinned the top section with a bit of a poof right at the fourth pony and pinned all the last pieces. It worked GREAT and will be perfect for a wedding I'm going to tomorrow! Would love to see more ideas for people with thick hair!
ReplyDeleteYou have officially been crowned the hair genious! I have tried numberous hairstyles on your blog, and loved this one soo much I reblogged it at adventuresofliving.com!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all your great post!
I just found your blog via a pin on Pinterest, and I'm so impressed! I'll be a new follower, for sure. Thank you for the great how-to videos. You do a great job explaining and breaking it down, which I really appreciate.
ReplyDeleteHere Updo hairstyle for Christmas
ReplyDeleteHow many ponytails do you normally section your hair into for this look? I do not have thick hair, I have regular to thin hair. Just curious.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting such cute and easy hair tutorials! I have super thick hair that im trying to grow out. It's in the weird stage around my shoulders so the messy updos and buns are perfect for me at work. I also love that we live in the same city and experience the same weather here in Raleigh! You post according to the season! LOL Love it! Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteXOXO Nancy
