How to do a bun!

I saw this picture on Pinterest, of course, and I thought it was so cute! Buns are definitely in right now! I like this style because it's super easy and you can wear it like this if you're just out running errands or dress it up a little by wearing a different headband.

So I tried my best to take pictures of me doing this on my own hair... easier said than done. Hopefully I'll get better!

To begin, my hair was loosely curled and I teased it at the crown. I put the headband on first (Got it at Target, it's like one of those big rubber band things) then pulled it back in a high ponytail.

I took a strand from the top of the ponytail and looped it forward. I teased it to give it more fullness. You want to tease the part that will end up being the inside of the loop. 

I pinned the loop, pushing the bobby pin towards the pony tail holder.

I ended up looping only four strands. Each time teasing and looping it away from the center. To make sure you don't have gaps between the loops, you can gently spread them with your fingers.

So this is the back view. It looks like I have so much hair! In the first picture, her bun was a lot messier. You can do it any way you like.

And from the side. So easy!

New Product I love!

I've always loved It's a Ten products. They are pretty much an all in one product. They add shine, protect hair from heat, strengthen, add moisture etc. Now they have a new volumizing collection! A shampoo, a leave in spray, and a root lifter. I didn't really have high hopes when I bought them, but hey it never hurts to try! To my surprise, I really, really like them!!! My hair was actually very smooth and shiny, you could see all my dimensional highlights, and I STILL had volume!!! That rarely happens. I either get flat shiny, smooth hair or voluptuous frizzy hair! I'm SO glad I gave them a try! They still smell just as good, if not better than the other products they have.
