Merry Christmas to YOU//closed
Working with Navy
Thank you so much for the support, comments, and love you have sent my way over the past several months here on the blog! I have so enjoyed sharing my hair ideas and other “small things” (I had to do it) going on in my life with you and I have LOVED hearing from you!
I’m excited to continue working on the blog and sharing inspiration.
As a thank you, I’m giving away my favorite nail polish and my favorite base/top/strengthener.
The grey polish is called Chinchilly.
It’s the perfect subtle grey, with a hint of taupe.
And of course, my favorite base/top/strengthener from Essie too. It’s hands down the best.
Here is how to enter:
1. Become a follower of my blog, and comment below telling me your favorite hairstyling technique that I shared over the past few months.
PLEASE leave your e-mail address so I can contact you if you win!
The winner will be chosen (and the giveaway will end) tomorrow morning at 8:00a EST via Random.org.
Giveaway only valid for US residents.
Good luck!
*Essie has NO idea who I am. This is simply a gift from me to you.

I love your blog. I read it everyday and have taken notes(lol). I was in Target last night and saw one of the sweaters that you had on in one of your blogs and said something to my son about you having it on and he just laughed and said “Mom you are so funny about that blog”. LOL.
I love the Messy Ponytail because it is fast(and thats great for me cause I’m to lazy to get out of bed) and still looks very stylish.
I sure hope I get chosen as the winner because I have looked at every store we have around here fot the 3 way glaze. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

I love the half up style and although my hair isn’t long enough to do it yet, I have done my daughters several times and always get tons of compliments on it. Thank you for sharing all that you do and all your talents with us.
Your blog has completely changed my life when it comes to hair! I have seriously considered making a trip to Raleigh just for a hair appointment with you! 🙂 Your simple tips like what products to use and to see the value of spending more time on my hair have been most helpful. My favorite style you have shared more recently is the braided bun! I have worn it twice and LOVE love it! I’d be so thrilled to win this give away… I’ve been looking for the 3 in 1 polish everywhere locally and can’t find it. Just haven’t ordered it yet.

My favorite tip is the bobby pin tip. Who knew that for all these years I had it wrong!!
With that being said, now that I can properly use bobby pins I LOVE the bang twist. I don’t like hair in my eyes while I work and that technique has been invaluable! And super cute, too! 🙂

I have been following your blog for several months now; I refer to it almost on a daily basis to decide what I am going to do with my hair. I also used pictures of your hair to take the stylist when I got my “post wedding chop” back in October. My favorite style so far is probably the bouncy curled under…although I love them all!

I love all your volume tutorials! Especially the one on how to apply Aquage. My hair is so flat, but with Aquage it’s perfect!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I actually just found your blog last night as I was looking on Pintrest on how to make a messy ponytail. After spending all night on your blog looking over the various hairstyles I think that is still my favorite. My hair is really thick and has a lot of weight to it so I am looking for a way to make the “bump” and make it stay all day. Thank you for sharing your blog with those of us that are trying to stay pretty on a budget!
Thanks, Leah

I love, love, love the messy bun! I’ve used it several times! Big fan of this blog!
I 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
I 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.
paigehurst24@gmail.com
I think my favorite and most used tutorial was the bouncy curled under. I do it all the time! Love this blog so much.
Hi Kate-
I 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
I love the “knotty” updo! I wore it to work yesterday and got tons of compliments! (katiekern@hotmail.com)
I love the french braid updo! It’s tough to master, but I’m getting close! Your blog is so much fun 🙂
susanbiard@gmail.com
Loved the half french twist! My husband got to help me with that one for our work Christmas party. 🙂 Your blog is great!

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

Love the twisted bangs!! I am growing out my bangs and was having a terrible time trying to decide what to do with them and I am so happy I stumbled upon your blog!!
rowatters@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 🙂
michea_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!!
My 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!
Love 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!
I just started following your blog, it’s fantastic. My favorite hair post was your hot rollers tutorial. It was so helpful.
jillbartelscohen@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!!
I love the half up twist! Love your blog and your tutorials – so very helpful!
CarolinaOnMyMind12@yahoo.com
I love the bangs. My hair is cut almost exactly like yours but I can never get the bangs right!
My favorite is the knotty updo perfect for the holidays!
wygaljessica@yahoo.com
All of them, but I love the twisty bangs!
Reneepollock@yahoo.com
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)
I 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!
jesabes.blog(at)gmail(dot)com
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
Bouncy 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!
I am wearing your messy bun right now and I love it!

I love the Knotty Knot, absolutely precious!! I am in the process of growing out my hair, so I am patiently waiting for it to be long enough to wear that way!! The tutorial was so helpful, Thanks! MERRY CHRISTMAS
laurenleigh06@gmail.com
My favorite at this moment is the knotty updo. I combined it with the powder texturizer technique you showed and it was a hit. I had to give “you”/the blog.. all the credit!! Merry Chirstmas!

I’ve been following for months now 🙂 My favorite hair tutorial is most definitely how to style your hair right after it’s washed to straight-ironing it and the products that you use!
edeshone(at)yahoo.com
I am a follower and my favorite hairstyling technique has been styling bangs with a straightener. After seeing your blog, I actually got bangs and now daily use the technique I learned here! I also now use a ton of product and use bobby pins correctly, so thank you!! 🙂
shmcquaig at gmail dot com
I finally bought some Aquage and LOVE! And the techniquenthat has helped me most is simply how to do my bangs right.
I loved your tutorial on curling your hair with a curling iron. I could never quite get that right before, but I’ve successfully curled my hair a couple of times now with your help!
tiana.pavlidis(at)gmail(dot)com
I became a follower and my favorite post was telling me how to correctly use a bobby pin! How silly that I didn’t know that! 🙂 Thank you!

Thejohnsons08@gmail.com
The quick messy braided style has got to be the cutest style ever! Now if I could only recreate it…
Thank you so much for all the hairstyle tutorials! The how to style you bangs post has totally changed my style and look and I am loving it!
The braided bun was my favorite, I just don’t have enough hair to give it the full umph look it requires. I also love the chic updo!
I love your ‘How to Curl your Hair w/ a Curling Iron’. I’ve used that many times and have got many compliments!
lilmckenzie0806@yahoo.com
I love you so much!! You have taught me awesome things the best was how to curl my hair right. Then I’m able to do the other beautiful styles much easier! Thanks you!!! Merry Christmas!!

Nicole
Nicole122274@yahoo.com
The French Twist is my favorite! 🙂
By far my favorite tip has been curling with a curling iron. For the first time in 34 years I have curled my hair on my own (and gotten many compliments on it)! I have also even worn it curled with a headband, which I never would have attempted before I found your blog. I also use all the products you suggest and can’t tell you how much better my hair has looked since I started using them. It may sound silly but having a good hair day can make you feel more confident in general and I am so grateful for all the good hair days you have given me! I look forward to all the tips and secrets you’ll share with us in 2012! (Also can’t forget the bobby pin tip – can’t believe I’ve been using then wrong all these years!) Leah Fry leahfry15@gmail.com
Love and follow your blog, and so far my favorite and most used hairstyle is the elegant half up!
alliburt (at) gmail (dot) com
I’m a follower and have loved reading everyday! My favorite is definitely the messy bun – perfect for everyday!
I am already a follower and I LOVE your blog! As a hairstylist myself I have used LOTS of your tips and tricks! My very favorite is the bouncy curled under tutorial! The best part about it is that when i wear my hair that way my sister and my very best co-worker tell me that I look ‘like Kate’… it makes my day every time 🙂
I love the curling with a curling iron tutorial. I’ve been doing that lately. Although ALL of your hair tutorials are fantastic! I wish you could do my hair everyday! Can u please move to MO? Merry Christmas – Julie

I’ve tried so many! I love the basic ponytail and knotty and nice! My laptop is now covered in Kenra Hairspray!
I absolutely love the braided bun tutorial. I think it is such an easy way to put my hair up and get it out of my face without looking like a slob. Thanks so much for this giveaway. I have been looking for a new essie polish to try & this one would be perfect. Email: Linzlu3@comcast.net
Merry Christmas! <3
Oops…forgot my email! gramkelly@gmail.com
I actually have two favorites. 1) The “how to curl your hair with a curling iron” tutorial. Now, I can actually curl my hair with that tool and end up looking like a pretty human being (as opposed to the frizzy, misshapen one from before). 2) The twisty bangs. I do this at least once or twice a week, and people actually think I have the talent to French-braid my bangs (instead of simply twisting them). I just smile and keep my mouth shut… lol.
Thanks for all the great hair tutorials!
fuzzydice28 (at) yahoo (dot) com.
I loved your video on how to trim bangs. Close your eyes, but I used to cut my bangs straight across… Yikes!! Thank you!
Jkroll2010 (at) gmail (dot) com
My favorite hairstyle would probably be the first one I ever encountered from you, which is the Bouncy Curled Under! I love the height and separation it gives layers.
Merry Christmas! xoxo

The hair technique I’ve loved is the knot in the back of the hair half up or how to do a slouchy ponytail.

I love the french braid with hair down. And just great curling tutorials.

I love the Aquage root lifter foam, and after watching your tutorials, I now curl my hair by leaving the ends out!
romanje2@yahoo.com
I love all of them, and haven’t gotten to try them yet, as I’ve been one armed (surgery). But I did just get my bangs cut and I’m looking forward to trying your curling technique over the holiday…granted, of course, that the physical therapist gives me permission to hold a curling iron again..LOL
I also just picked up some aquage today!
Merry christmas!
I follow your blog on bloglovin’!
My favorite hairstyle is just your simple curls. Definitely want to try this out on my own hair.
And I loveee nail polish and would love to win these! 🙂
Merry Christmas!

I love the twist hair (on sides) and pin up in the back..not sure what it is called but I did it on my hair and it was so pretty!
I have been subscribed to your blog for a few weeks after seeing you on Birchbox! I love it! 🙂
My favorite tutorial is the side braid and bun–I have worn it a few times since I found your blog, and get so many compliments! Someone even brought it up last week when I wasn’t wearing it.
I would love to win! sarahpeterson18 [at] gmail [dot] com

Where have you been for the first 54 years of my life? I have never been able to wear a pony tail and have it look good. Your pony tail video has changed that—and at 54, it is about time! I love them now! (Sound like a 5 year old, don’t I??) Thank you–and Merry Christmas!
My Favorite is bouncy curled under- I discovered your blog by finding that tutorial on Pinterest! Your blog is so great for inspiration, I love it!

I’ve been a follower of your blog for some time now (its in my Google Reader that I check daily!) Love ALL of your hairstyles, you’re SO stylish 🙂 but I think my most used is “The Ponytail” .. my hair is at the ‘in-between’ stage of growing it back out so I end up with it in a ponytail often. Thanks to you, its a way better pony than a gym pony lol

I love the braided bangs tutorial. cktimes3(at)gmail(dot)com
One of the more recents, the knotty updo is my favorite!!

Found you on pinterest… LOVE THE HAIR TUTORIALS. I got a Chi for Christmas so I can start using all the flat iron techniques and I ordered myself a Christmas present…Aquage Uplifting Foam. Yay!! Thanks for the great BLOG, LOVE IT!
I just learned from your blog that I’ve been using bobby pins all wrong for years! Life changer!
gnabeana at gmail dot com
I have tried the hot rollers technique, love it! emilybgale@hotmail.com
I am a follower of your blog! My favorite tutorial has probably been just how to my curl hair, I’m getting better at it! But hands down my favorite tip has been the correct way to use bobby pins!! They look so much better with the flat end up!
heartlikemine.katie@gmail.com
I love the braided bun. I have been trying to grow my hair longer My hair is VERY similar to yours and I’ve been trying to keep it healthy by washing it less. The updos on your blog are really helping! When I can put it up and make it look cute without heat styling it, I can go longer without washing it and not look gross. Thank you!
I love the messy bun (so simple & easy) as well as the how to curl your hair with a flat iron!!
Have a great Christmas!!!

I like the knotted 1/2 up and 1/2 down do! I have also started curling my hair with the curling iron again… haven’t really done it since my son was born at the end of October, forgot how easy it was! Thanks for all the great hints and tips, love the grey polish too!
I loved both of the hairstyles from the knotty or nice post and I have wore both of them now to two different Christmas parties!! Everyone was in love with them!, thanks!
Britthomp09(at)gmail(dot)com
I am totally in love with your hairstyles. You have a very similar hair texture and length as my own. I am totally addicted to curling my hair as you do and I LOVE the messy pony look with the ‘bump’ 🙂 you are fabulous Kate!

Pottsy1214@aol.com
I can’t think of what it’s called right now, but I use it all the time–the one where you take pieces and criss cross them into a half-up do with bobbypins. I love it! lmillerharris (at) gmail (dot) com
I have your haircut! It’s been so much fun trying all the different styles, and adding your volume-boosting tips to my daily routine has given me some extra confidence. I wish I had found your blog in October before my wedding so I could have done one of your hairstyles on myself…instead I spent $60 to have someone do an awful job! That experience and your blog have inspired me to take control of my hair so it never happens again. I can’t redo my wedding, but with your blog’s help I know I’ll have awesome hair at all future events! Thank you!
LOVE your blog!! My favorite hair post is when you show how to wear the cute headbands! I could never pull one off before seeing how to do it! Also, I use a bobby pin the correct way now since that post!! My hair is super thick and I could never use them to hold my hair so I was so happy when you posted this! Katemcdonald7309@gmail.com! Merry Christmas and thank you for your amazing blog! It has changed my life and my hair!!!
I have to choose ONLY ONE style ? That’s hard ! I love doing the messy bun and the nice half-up, but my favorite style from you is that you gave me confidence to play with my curling iron ! Instead of sleeping in my drawer, it is now being used every other day ! And I couldn’t live without my Aquage anymore 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and your family 🙂
cjeansondaigle (at) gmail (dot) com
I love your updo tutorials! I cannot do my own hair, but I was able to do that one!

Booby pins zig zag side down rocked me & leaving an inch or so of hair out when curling it! MERRY CHRISTMAS, chrissarahj@comcast.net

Love (and follow) your blog. You said hairstyling (and I’ll get to that) but I love your make-up tutorials, too. I need HELP with that stuff! I love the trick to get volume with a straightener. AND I’m glad you told me about essie nail polish! Love it!
I love the tutorial on how to cut your own bangs. It was the best! So many people hack them and you gave great tips on how to subtly shorten them.

My favorite hair technique is the twisted bangs, it was so simple but so cute! An easy way to make people think you did just a little extra to your hair for the “Did you do something new to your hair?” questions

Love all your styles, and especially enjoy the tips and techniques. The Bouncy Curled Under is my current favorite. I was not born with a hairstyling gene and couldn’t pass it on to my daughter, so I enjoy sharing your posts with her. She has great hair and now it can be even better! You’ve made us both happy–thank you!

Thanks for sharing all of your great techniques and products! My current favorite has to be the messy side bun. Wore it for a few Holiday parties.

Hi Kate, I didn’t realize I was curling my hair ALL WRONG. I would start at the bottom of my hair strand and curl up. After watching your videos I learned to start at the top and twist the curling iron around. Really makes a difference in how my curls hang. I’ve learned so many things but learning how to properly curl with a curling iron has been my fav tip! ~ JG from VA
I subscribed (even though I’ve been checking daily for months) and my favorite technique is the way you flatiron. I’ve had so many compliments on my hair lately and I’ve flat ironed it the same way every day for months now… thanks so much!!! I wanna win that polish!!
tiffanymckeown@hotmail.com
Love the tutorial on flat ironing and then using the pins to hold it in place for extra volume (love the Aquage too, only one place in my town that carries it)
I found your blog (and your sister’s!) on Pinterest and I am so happy I did 🙂
You guys are awesome.
My favorite hair tutorial of yours is definitely bouncy curled under!
I’m in the process of growing my hair out, and this straightening technique allows me to wear my hair down without wanting to rip it out 🙂
Thanks and Merry Christmas 🙂

I LOVE ESSIE POLISH! This is one I do not have but I agree the 3 way polish is amazing. I love all the braid and head band tutorials. I think my favorite was the tuckaway! kristinaj2380@yahoo.com
Merry Christmas
I just love your bang tutorial! It has changed my life!

Good Afternoon! Because of your blog, you inspired me to cut my hair into a grown out BOB and also purchase the aquage. I recently cut 6 1/2 inches off my hair and thanks to your blog I wear many different hair styles. My favorite is the twisted bangs, when I cut my hair I also got my bags all cut off which is cute but they also get annoying hanging in the face.
Also, thanks to your blog…. I have joined Birchbox and have used many of your recipes!
my favorite was the braided bun!

Thank you! I LOVE your blog and hairstyle ideas.
I love the braided bangs but haven’t quite mastered it yet. Hopefully soon because my bangs drive me nuts! 🙂
sbrovold23@msn.com
I already follow the blog. I love the simple way you showed how to style your bangs!
Kate, I love your blog! It quickly became one of my favorites! My favorite tutorial you did was the “How to curl your hair with a curling iron” .. simple, but I really had no idea how before I watched it. If that doesn’t coun’t as a style, I love the braids that you pin back!
Thanks so much for an awesome giveaway! I’ve never tried essie nail polish, but I’ve been wanting to for awhile!

I really liked your flat iron tips and now use them every day! (or at least the days I flat iron my hair 😉
My girlfriend said the other day… “let’s do something wild and crazy!” I said, “what?” she says “Let’s drive to Raleigh and get that hair tutorial girl to do our hair!!” That would be so super cool!
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!

scantron0304@yahoo.com
Your blog is very fun!!!
So far I have loved ALL of your hair styles, but my favorite is the knotty or nice, I believe? It’s super chic!
vbatsalem@hotmail.com
Hey, I have really enjoyed your blog. Found out about you from a friend and was hooked. I really like the messy bun and first time I wore it got tons of compliments and told everyone about your blog. I also like the big curls with curling iron, but I had to modify it for my hair. Thanks for sharing btw I love the nail polish colors also.
Picking just one???? I love the curling with a curling iron. I finally am able to curl my hair and have it looks right. I alway get compliments, mainly from my fiancé. He always says so shyly that I look pretty.
I love this blog!!!
I’m a pretty new subscriber and I can’t remember where I saw your link, but it was with the Bouncy Curled Under tutorial that introduced to me to your blog!
I am new to your blog and I love all your posts. My favorite hair tutorial has been how to style your bangs. I could never figure out why bangs always had a little flip. You were so thorough in your video that now my bangs looks great! Have a great Christmas with your family. smile49er@yahoo.com
I like the chic updo the best, but have loved all that I have tried so far. Merry Christmas!
I have been following your blog for all of a week but have watched all your tutorials 🙂 My favorite is how to wear a headband, in fact I am wearing one today! Love your work and look forward to more posts!
caruso.victoria@gmail.com
I know it may be “basic,” but I loved your video tutorial on how you flat iron your hair with your tips & tricks (C-shape with the iron), and of course for introducing me to Aquage! amybwalker(at)gmail.com
I love them all especially the knotty and nice do and the bouncy curled under.
hiprose@q.com
I am a brand new follower who has enjoyed your blog for a while now. My fave post has been the how to curl your hair post, mainly b/c I can now actually get my hair to stay curly throughout the day now! Hope to win!

My favorite is the messy bun. My hair is longer than yours but still works for me. Thanks for the giveaway.
roxemor@aol.com
Before I found your blog I was in such a rut! I’m a new stay-home mom and would just let my hair air dry. Now I curl with a curling iron a few times a week (even if my hubs is the only one who will see it), and I am so much happier! Funny how hair can do that! Thanks for the inspiration!
domesticate{dot}blog {at}gmail{dot}com
I love love love your blog! My favorite is probably the bouncy curled under. It’s just so beautiful!

This may seem stupid, but the curling with a flat iron trick has been my favorite! I have naturally curly hair that is unruly and never wants to curl the way I want it to, but I’ve always only tried with a curling iron. I use a flat iron almost every single day (read=BAD FOR HAIR, I know 🙁 ), so this trick made putting a little “bounce” in my hair a cinch!
Thanks!
starzskymoon@gmail.com
I love your blog!
I have found the “how to trim your own bangs” tutorial very helpful as well as the one about curling hair. Your website has made me actually do my hair rather than putting it up in a pony tail all the time.
Also, I have recently starting using Essie Nail Polish and LOVE IT! That color Gray is fantastic.
Merry christmas!!!
emily.a.small@gmail.com
Well, I’m currently rocking the messy ponytail pulled up from the curls I did yesterday from your tutorial. I think my absolute favorite though is the chic updo. I can’t believe that it really stays all day when I wear my pins correctly! You’re brilliant and I’ve sent so many of my girlfriends over to your site and we’re loving our ‘new’ hair!
Teamlarrabee@gmail.com
I can’t pick just one! I’ve upgraded both my curling and straightening skills thanks to you. I think I’ve even mastered trimming my own bangs!
Merry Christmas!!
Alyse – fuzzydancer@gmail.com
I now know how to wear a bobbypin the right way and have a new favorite line, Aquage! Happy holidays!

I love the bouncy curled under tutorial. It was so easy to do and looked great!
Merry Christmas!
rsnyder8807@gmail.com
At last, my day-to-day curls are near perfect due to watching these videos. I can’t leave the house without coming back with a compliment! (And I am by no means a hair diva.) The chic updo is my FAVORITE! I’ve worn it to weddings, holiday parties and just out to the store. My hair has looked so good lately that I was asked to do my cousin-in-law’s (?? lol) hair in January for her wedding. I’m stoked!
Thanks for blogging! -Hollee (holleelauren@gmail.com)
Thanks for the giveaway!! I love the elegant half up the best! Thank you for all of your simple directions via the tutorials! They’re great!

I have naturally curly hair that has gotten thinner from having a baby. I loved the Extreme Cat tip and the tips on using curling irons and flat irons. I also did one of your half up do’s for a party and got tons of compliments. I would LOVE any more tips on getting my hair thicker like it was. I am using Nioxin and it has helped a ton!

Amanda

my favorite hairstyle technique you have done is the chic updo. i actually wore my hair in that style last weekend for my fiance’s work christmas party. he works at a law firm in downtown seattle and so it was the fanciest most expensive work party i have ever been to!! it was cocktail attire, and so i wanted an updo without being overy stuffy. this updo was perfect! i spent a LONG time trying to do it, and ended up skipping the first part where you pull the top back, and just went straight to the flipping part. it still held perfectly and looked great.
your blog is wonderful! i recently signed up for birchbox too and am loving it!

I started following your blog a few weeks ago and I find myself checking back everyday for new stuff! I love ALL of your hair tutorials! I have been growing out a stacked bob which is the hardest cut in the world to grow out and I get bored with it so easily. That is until I ran across your blog. Thank you so much for ALL the different ways to style hair. I have been playing with my hair so much after seeing your tutorials and different styles and I forgot how fun it is having a little bit longer hair. My favorite video has been the “how to curl your hair with a curling iron”. I have always just curled my hair under but curling it away from the face with ends out is sooooo much prettier! Yesterday I wore it curled with twisted bangs and got numerous comments on it! I now want to curl my hair everyday! I can’t wait to try the aquage foam. I haven’t seen any in my salon but I am going to try and find it online. Thanks for all your tutorials and sharing with everyone how to have awesome hair. Keep up all the great posts…MERRY CHRISMAS! 🙂 jannaconn@yahoo.com
Love the bouncy curled under hairdo. But, what I really love is how you explain HOW to use different products (like volumizer, love aquage!)

I Love the messy bun! and i loved the french braid in the front with the side messy bun! you’ve inspired me to be more proactive with styling my hair (stay at home mom…). Love your tips! 🙂
carriegerhart@gmail.com
My fav is the messy bun in the back with the braid. I’m in the process of growing my hair out and it’s in too many layers so I can’t duplicate the look exactly–but I have one of those little headbands from the drugstore that’s like a little hairpiece–so I use that as the braid part of the style–the bun conceals the elastic band at the back of the headband so it’s perfect!
AQUAGE! It has changed my life

Thank you Kate for all you do! You have truly inspired me to change my hairstyle daily!!! It’s hard to pick just one of my favs but I think the one I get the most compliments on is the side bun. It looks so difficult but it’s sooo easy to do 🙂

Hi Kate! I love reading your blog (every day) and your amazing tutorials. I guess if I had to choose a favorite it would be the bouncy curled under look. I wear it almost every day and get so many compliments. Before reading your blog, I had long boring straight hair, but after taking your picture to my stylist I now loove my hair! Thanks for your blog!
Merry Christmas!

I love all the braids you do, even if I simply can’t get my fingers to cooperate in order to replicate them! I’d love to be able to do the side french braid and the one for bangs. One day!
Love the blog. And I’m obsessed with polish (currently wearing Butter London Victoriana and Deborah Lippman Happy Birthday) – Essie Chincilly is one I’ve been trying to get my hands on but it’s always sold out everywhere, so I’d be psyched to win.

I try and try to do the french braid that goes around and ends on the other side of my head. I forgot what you call it. I will have to keep working on it!

Ps, I did the criss cross half up for our first christmas party and got a ton of compliments! 😉
I have followed your blog for about two months now and absolutely LOVE it! I have gone from trying new outfits, to yuuummy mac-n-cheese, and especially new hair styles and I couldn’t pick just one! But the one’s I’ve been able to attempt and actually succeed were the “tucked away french braid”, half-up braids, and your messy ponytail/bun. Each of your ideas are on my list of “to-do’s” though that’s for sure! 🙂 Any way thanks for keeping up with such a cute blog I absolutely love it! HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!
melissa.lynn.yorgason@gmail.com
Whoa, so many comments! Still praying for you girl.
Been following for a while via RSS feed.
Your hair tutorials have totally changed the way I do my hair. I never knew I could do so many things.
I’d say the basic messy bun. I’ve never been able to keep my hair all up and this is a perfect go to that can be dressy or casual.
Thank you Kate!

I’ve been a follower for a few months now! It’s so hard to pick a favorite hairstyle of yours!

Thanks for all you do!
kristin(dot)lockwood(at)gmail(dot)com
I’ve loved your post on curling with a curling iron and how to style your bangs. Since following your advice I’ve had lots of compliments! Thanks!
I LOVE your blog! The Bouncy Bob technique is the one I use the most. My hair is “easy” to do now and I love how full it is (all day!). I also do the messy ponytail/bun. You made doing my hair fun! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

I love them all, but especially the chic updo tutorial. Merry Happy Christmas!
I’m a fan of the messy ponytail,as a stay at home mom it helps me out with looking kinda cute, rather than just throwing my hair up in a messy (not cute) fashion. 🙂 I always come to your blog for inspiration when i want to do something fabulous with my hair. Thank you for sharing your inspiration and talent with all of us. God bless you and Merry Christmas!!
stephanie(dot)helmuth(at)yahoo(dot)com
I absolutely LOVE the “Knotty Updo” style! I wore it the other day, and had so many compliments on my hair! I am also a stylist and i love reading your blog! Our taste in hair and style is very similar, and i am always so inspired by reading your blogs! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!

I love your blog! Its one of my daily must reads!
My favorite hairstyle you’ve shared would have to be the messy bun. I’m a sucker for ponytails and have my own not-so-cool version 🙂 Sadly it doesnt work with my hair. I am ready to try more of your styles.

Hi Kate! My favorite tutorial was how to curl hair with a flat iron- I was so amazed. Since then I’ve used the technique often. I love your blog and read it almost everyday! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

All of your tutorials are great – liked the curling iron and bang trimming the most. Jane
jane@fbcpompano.org
I love all of your hair and style inspirations. My fav hair ‘vlog’ was probably the curl-with-the-flat-iron one. I attempted the other day, and like you warned, it may or may not work on all hair types or will take a lot of time, but it sure is pretty 🙂 My hair is longer and it worked beautifully on the bottom. I need to do it again and work my way through the whole strand. I’ve used several of your techniques though, thank you!!!
Love love LOVE your blog! My favorite hair post was the side bang tutorial and how to make it just perfect. I tried it right after I read your post and I’ve received so many compliments.
maimeyloo@yahoo.com
Thanks so much! My favorite is the braided bun! I love your blog! Have a merry Christmas!
I loved the way my hair looked after following your tutorial on curling your hair with the flat iron! I was skepitcal if it would work on my hair b/c it usually doesn’t hold curl well, but to my surprise it worked & the curl stayed ALL DAY! Thank you so much for your blog. I found you about 2 months ago & can’t seem to get enough. 🙂
P.S. I love love love the nail polish color!!! I’ve been searching for a color similar to it!
Merry Christmas Kate!!

I just discovered your blog via a pin on pinterest — man am I glad I did! Thank you so much for providing us with ideas to enhance our beauty. I now feel like I can actually “fix” my hair!!!
My favorite hair style tutorial is definitely THE ponytail. I’ve been wanting to know how to do this forever! Do you have any tips on teasing your hair to add lift at the crown? I have super thin hair, and lots of it, so it is kind of weighted down and hard to lift… any suggestions? Thanks for this awesome blog – I’m your newest follower!

Hey Kate,
I am definitely a curvy girl and us curvy girls have to accentuate the positives. Since a lovely friend shared your blog with me, my hair has definitly become one of my positives. I’m having so much fun using the products you listed as. “must-haves”. My favorite has been your madly addictive methods for getting that great VOLUME. Hair with that much volume is heard ’round the world! OK..too far..;)
Merry Christmas and many blessings to you and yours this new year!

I have learned how to style my long hair from all of your hair tutorials, but my favorite as been the knotty knot, I actually wore my hair in that today! Thanks for your hair wisdom, and have a Merry Christmas!
The knotty Knot, wore my hair today like that, and got a lot of compliments! Akristian@me.com
I adore using the GHD for curling my hair. I’ve had one for 2 years now and could never figure out how to curl my hair and you made it look so easy! Thank you!!

I honestly love all of your hairstyle blogs but I think I’ve used the headband tutorial and how to curl hair with a flat iron 🙂 I’ve even taken pics from your blog to show my hairstylist how I want my hair cut. I love your blog and vids. Keep up the great work! Merry Christmas!

All of the tutorials are great though! Thank you!

I really liked your how-to on applying root lifter. I have yet to find the Aquage brand you use, but I found another brand that works pretty good. I also like that you make video tutorials for all your hairstyles and tips. It makes it so much easier to learn! I do have really long hair though, and some of the hairstyles were too hard for me to do. But I really enjoy your blog! Thanks!

You are on my Google Reader … and I love your everyday hairstyle – even though I tried it and it definitely looked nothing like yours. :/
Love your tutorial for curling your hair! I have always had stick-straight hair, but since having a baby (4 years ago now!) it definitely has more of a wave to it. LOVE the video tutorials!
I am a new follower to your blog and am loving every minute of it. I have studied all your hair tutorials. Right now I am wearing my hair, bouncy curled under, only I couldn’t get the hairpins to work for me so I use the velcro rollers and they work great. Thanks!!!! Keep blogging!

I like the curling your hair with curling iron and have started using Aquage and it made a huge difference to my hair.
sarahmathis05@gmail.com
My FAVORITE hairstyling tip you’ve offered over the past few months is the one regarding bobby pins. I have used bobby pins for so long, and never really noticed I wasn’t using them correctly. When I tell my friends, they’re all usually pretty surprised because for some reason, it always made sense to have the curvy side up. My e-mail: curti2bm (at) cmich (dot) edu
I follow your blog and I love the first tutorial that introduced us to Aquage for volume. My hair is still too short to try most of the styles, but it’s growing out! Love your blog!
I LOVE all of your tutorials, but I particularly appreciated the one on how to style your bangs. A whole new world. 🙂

My favorite tutorial is the bouncy curled under.I am letting my hair grow out,so this is my goal 🙂

I love the curling tips with both straightener and iron.
I had my hairstylist cut off all of my long, long hair and into a style similar to yours because I loved it so much! I’ve worn the knotty knot every day this week because I love how easy it is, plus it goes from day to night very easily for the holiday season!
Alliestar79@gmail.com
Came across your blog through Pinterest and love it. I even got 4″ cut off my hair to match your length and style so i can do all the fun style you do. My favorite is the Elegant Half Up.

I like the flat iron curls! They seem to hold better than curling iron curls.
Kate, you are so adorable and I am so happy that I found your blog. Your hair tutorials have really helped me learn to style my hair and for that I am so grateful! I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season!
I loved your tutorial on curling your hair with a flat iron. I have never been able to figure out how to do it, and since watching, I have been able to master it:) Thanks!

hey there! I had been catching up on all of your tutorials today and found the knotty half up-do to be the most suited for the Christmas party I was going to tonight! I curled my hair like you showed in your first tutorial and knotted it somewhat like you showed.. and.. hello, compliments!! (pics via twitter very soon!) so many people commented on how fancy, yet simple, it was. thanks so much for the tips and ideas. I’ll be trying the knotty up-do for Sunday’s festivities! maybe by then I’ll have my nails painted 😉 (bjk5076@gmail.com) happy holidays!
I actually loved your how-to on trimming your own bangs. I just tried the curling with a flat-iron today and it looked fantastic! Thanks for being awesome.

What’s not to love?!?! You look fabulous in every tutorial. If I must choose one, though, it would have to be flat iron curls. Thanks for the inspiration. Love your style!

My favorite technique you have shared is “letting your hair cool before you comb it out” I have battled the problem of my curls falling after I curl my hair with a curling iron. Finally the lightbulb turned on and after letting my whole head set, I had curls that lasted for 12 hours without any touch ups!
Thanks for all the techniques and tutorials!!

I wear the messy bun, and loved your tutorial on how to style your bangs! I even got my hair cut similar to yours because it’s easier for me to follow the tutorials…geeky, I know! (nataliembailey@gmail.com)
My wife loves trying her hand at the techniques you show. Her favorite right now is tying it in knots!

P.s. I have been looking for the Essie 3 way glaze everywhere! I’m dying to try it!
Hi Kate! I saw pictures from your blog a few weeks ago and loved your hair so much that I chopped off all my hair which has been down to the small of my back for atleast a decade! I even brought pics of your hair into the salon. I love the cut and am excited to try all the styles you’ve posted on your blog! Have a Merry Christmas! -Nikki ( gracenm@gmail.com)
I love the messy bun, you have inspired me to do more than plain straight hair every day, I got root lifter and a curling iron! Thank you!

Thanks for the inspiration!

I’m a fan of the post about the half-up hair style using the bobby pins. Super cute and easy!

I love your blog! I found it through pinterest a few weeks ago and have checked it everyday since. I have tried many of the hairstyles and loved them all. I’ve never known what to do with my hair or how to style it very well. So I was soooo happy when I saw the tutorial on how to curl it. Whenever I tried it before it just didn’t look good. Now I know how! I also love the style with the know it the back. So easy and cute! Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!
After seeing one of your videos, I bought a wide curling iron and now am able to curl my hair every day after blow drying my hair upside down for volume on top. I’m still working on some of the others.

I love all of your tutorials, and I am so glad you shared about Kenra and Aquage. But most of all I loved your how to curl your hair with a curling iron and the bouncy curled under… I use those one of those two styles every day! My email is amyvernagallo@gmail.com
I love all of them. I used your blog to show to my hair stylist how to cut and color my hair the other day. Thanks for such great posts.
Although I absolutely love everything you post on your blog, I found the twisted bangs tutorial to be extremely beneficial. I’m in the process of growing out my bangs so it has been very handy. Thanks!

I love your blog; it is my new favorite! Lately, I’ve been doing the braided bun the most. Life with a newborn doesn’t always allow for much more! My email is Kristenj15@gmail.com
I love your blog and really appreciate your how-to videos! My favorite style that I have tried out so far is the Half French Twist, but I plan on trying the Elegant Half Up for Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

Hope you have a joyful Christmas.
