- Hey, everyone. I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
And today I'm gonna show you three easy hairstyles
that you can use for back to school.
We're gonna start with some deepy waves.
It's a great fast one
if you're interested in using a hot tool.
And then we're going to follow it up with a ponytail
and then some twists,
in case you're looking at day three hair.
If you guys haven't already subscribed to the channel,
be sure to click right here, and let's get to it.
Okay, so for the first hairstyle,
which I would totally use if you're clean hair
and you need to do something quick,
is using the Deep Waver by Hairitage.
And you can just take it in big chunks
and clamp it down.
This is gonna be super fast and very quick,
but it's gonna give you a great look.
Okay, so to start with today,
I just washed my hair last night, slept on it wet.
I brushed it out this morning using my new paddle brush
and put in some heat protectant spray.
You guys know that you should always
use heat production spray
before you do any heat on your hair.
Then I just take my hair
and right above my ears, I section it off.
And you can use an elastic or hair clips
to clip it out of the way.
And then I divide my hair in half.
And I have already heated up the Deep Waver to 360.
So it goes up to 400, but I'm gonna do it at 360 today.
So when I do this, I just divide it into smaller sections.
They're maybe an inch to two inches.
And I am going to do bump up.
So can you see the bump?
So you're gonna just put it in, clamp it,
hold it for a few seconds,
and then release it and go down.
And what I do is I try to go down
to where that last bump ended
is where I start the next bump.
And if I have little ends like this, I just leave them out
'cause then it gives your hair a little more,
I feel like a little more relaxed look,
instead of so intense.
So you just go up like this,
hold it, release it.
So easy.
On my hair, my hair's pretty long,
I usually get three bumps down.
And then I repeat on this side.
And I literally do this until the top section.
And then on the top section, I'll show you a trick.
So nice things while we're chatting,
I will tell you, it has a nine-foot swivel cord.
Amazing, because if you're like me,
I love a long cord on my tools.
And it swivels, so it makes it nice and easy to use.
I think I told you it heats up to 400,
but it has four different temperatures,
so you can choose on your hair.
Sorry, I'm looking at the mirror, guys,
so I don't burn myself.
What temperature you want it at.
I have it at 360 today.
The plates are made of ceramic tourmaline.
There you go. Okay, so you can see that.
And then I just let them sit.
If you have hair that tends to fall with your curls,
the other thing you can do
is just put a little hairspray on right here.
Mine holds it really well, so I don't need to.
So then I just take the next section like this.
And do the same thing, just repeating.
Divide it in half.
And take my next section.
And I'm good to go. Again, bump up.
Okay? So easy.
(upbeat music)
Okay, when you're done with that one,
I do, I think, four sections total.
So I'm gonna just do...
And this top one will be my last section.
And again, this time, I am going to do bumps up.
You can see one of the big differentiators
between this deep waver and other deep wavers you might use,
or triple barrels, is the shape.
Can you see that?
They're not even, which is the whole point.
Because if they're even barrels,
it gives you mermaid-y look,
but it also doesn't look very natural
because it's too perfect.
So this one gives you a lot more natural-looking waves.
And I literally get asked every time I do these
how I did my hair, number one,
and two, if it's natural.
So people are really intrigued,
mm, heat set on that one,
whether or not they're natural
because they're not perfect and uniform.
One of the reasons I like bump up
is because it's, by default, giving me fake volume.
So down in my roots right here,
can you see how it's like (blows raspberry)?
It's giving me a nice little volume to my hair,
so it's gonna make my hair look way,
way thicker than it really is.
I mean, my hair is pretty thick anyway,
but it's gonna make it look extra, extra thick with that.
All these little tricks, little hacks.
(upbeat music continues)
Okay, last section.
On this last one, I'm gonna just do a middle part.
You can part it wherever you want.
Here's my trick is right here, if I do volume,
to me, it feels a little high.
I, on this top section, like to reverse it. Angle bump down.
That's hack by Mindy.
But totally your preference. Works either way.
So on this one, just bump down.
And you can see that it swoops it down
a little bit more right there instead of up.
And I think it just, I don't know,
maybe it's just the way it frames the face
that I like a little bit better.
(upbeat music continues)
I'm just holding a little bit longer on this top one
since it's the one you see the most.
(upbeat music)
And you can see I'm just kinda letting them sit.
I don't touch them a ton until I'm done-done.
(upbeat music)
What you guys can't touch, or feel through the camera
is the handle is super soft touch,
which I love the feel of.
We made it really ergonomic. Air-gonomic?
I don't know how to say that word.
So it fits in your hand really well.
We put a lock on so that it takes up less space
in your bathroom cabinets, which I love,
or you just wrap the cord around it.
It does have an automatic shut off 'cause those are amazing,
in case you forget to unplug it
or you have children that do.
I did the LED display. I love those, too.
And it's just all around an amazing, amazing hot tool.
I had one similar to this a few years ago.
And it was $150. It was so expensive.
And this one is 39.
Okay, so when I'm done,
again, you can add hair spray
if you're somebody that feels like you need that.
I just kinda take my fingers and run it through.
And then I just sort of mess it up, the roots anyway,
'cause I don't want them too, too perfect.
And you can see...
Can you see how that dipped down right there?
That's kind of 'cause you're doing bump down.
But if you did bump up,
it would be even more volume right here,
if that's what you're looking for, too.
Then I just take, personally,
'cause I always put dry shampoo in my hair.
Even on day one, you guys know that.
Spritz a little dry shampoo
so that as I'm sweating through the day,
it's already soaking up.
And if I feel like my ends anywhere
are looking a little frazzled,
which today, they look amazing,
then I just take a little tiny bit
of the argan oil from Hairitage.
And I'll just literally just hit just the ends
so, so, so softly,
especially these pieces right in front.
And that's it, folks.
It's pretty much foolproof.
It's so easy and so simple.
Next, we're gonna do a pop-through ponytail
where we take two pieces of strands
and we kind of twist them.
And it adds a ton of volume
and a really fun accent on a ponytail.
Okay, guys. This style, super easy.
To start, what I'm going to do
is just kind of go down the side of my head
and take a pretty good-sized piece kinda right by my ear
and section it off.
So throw the rest of that back out of the way for now.
I'm gonna do that on both sides.
(upbeat music)
Yeah, that's good.
Okay, so, depending on how much hair you have.
And then I'm going to sweep my hair back.
And I am just kinda trying not
to get these front pieces now.
Combing, finger-combing this back into a little ponytail.
And I am using the Hairitage by Mindy
seamless nylon elastics, because they're the best,
for this and they're not gonna show
as much as a microfiber would.
So I do a low ponytail like this, okay?
Tighten it up, and then you can kind of,
you know, fluff it and make it a little prettier.
But you don't need to worry too, too much about this yet.
Now, once you got your ponytail ready to go,
you're gonna take these side pieces,
and you're gonna twist them.
But before I do that,
I am just gonna section off these little front guys.
Now, my hair is cut so that I have,
you know, kind of face-framing pieces,
so they just naturally sort of pop out.
But you can pull as much or as little as you want.
Then you're gonna twist these back. Twisty, twisty, twisty.
I'm gonna kinda just pull on it a little bit.
It's just gonna fluff it, loosen that twist up a little bit,
give it a little more depth.
Then I'm gonna hold it with my teeth.
While I do that, I'm gonna repeat on the other side,
so I won't able to talk, okay?
Got your pieces out. Good, twist.
(upbeat music)
And loosen.
Okay. There.
When you got them both done,
and we twisted away from the head,
away from the face, just so you know.
We're gonna go back to the back.
Let me grab my little tiny elastic.
We're going to put that together and go like this.
Okay, now, that's not very cute, not very pretty.
Okay, so we're just gonna loosen that elastic,
we're gonna stretch it down a little bit.
What we're gonna do is we're still stretching.
Then we're gonna flip it.
So you can just see I'm just flipping it upside down.
And then we're gonna pop the rest of the ponytail
through the middle, like this.
Then we're gonna take this
and tighten it back down again, okay?
And then we're gonna tighten that top ponytail.
We're gonna keep tightening and fluffing.
And then you can go back and...
I just always kinda tug and pull and just relax everything.
Loosen it up, make it look a little messier,
a little more relaxed.
And there you have.
That was the easiest ponytail ever, and it looks so good.
Next up, Brooklyn's gonna show us a rope twist
on each side of her head,
which I think this one's fantastic
for if you're wearing day three hair
or you feel like your hair's a little greasy or oily
and you just wanna twist it up and out of your face.
- So to start the hairstyle,
I have parted my hair straight down the middle.
It doesn't have to be a perfect part.
I don't really like it when it's a perfect part.
I think that looks too perfect.
But if you want a perfect part, works as well.
So I just parted it down the middle
and then I'm also gonna part it down the middle in the back.
I just use my finger to do a little rough middle part,
but a lot of people use combs.
My mom likes to use combs.
So you can just do whatever you need to
to make that middle part.
And then I'm pulling half of it up into just a ponytail
to hold that hair out of the way
while I work on a style on this side.
So we have half of my hair here.
I've kinda brushed through it so it's nice and not tangly
so I can work with it.
The first thing I'm gonna do
is take a little chunk right here in the front,
just a little tiny piece.
And I'm gonna split it into two.
So you can see I have two pieces here
that are about even in weight
and how much hair in each piece.
And then I'm gonna take the piece
that's closest to my forehead,
and I'm gonna put it over the other piece.
So I'm gonna basically twist them.
So now I have this bottom piece here and this top piece here
that are twisted over each other.
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pick up
a little bit of hair right here in the front,
and I'm gonna add it to this bottom piece.
And then I'm gonna pull it over the other piece.
So what I'm basically doing is a French twist,
but I'm only adding hair to one side.
So again, I picked up hair, added it to that bottom piece,
and I'm gonna twist it over.
And you just keep doing that all the way down.
Make sure that when you're adding pieces,
you're combing it out
so that you don't get little bumps in the twists
or in the hair that you're pulling in.
(upbeat music)
So you can see I'm kinda getting more towards the bottom
of the twist,
and I'm just gonna keep adding hair all the way back.
So it's gonna kinda go down and back here.
You wanna collect all that hair and put it into the twist.
So you just keep going
until you're out of hair to add.
(upbeat music)
So when you get to the end,
you're gonna pull in this last piece of hair.
And I always make it really tight
so it's not really loose down there.
And then we come to kind of the trickiest part
of this whole thing.
So we have these two chunks of hair
that we've added a bunch of hair into,
and so the trick is to get them to twist together
while also just staying twisted
'cause usually they would just untwist
if you don't do it the right way.
So the trick is to take this outside piece and twist it in.
So twist it towards your body, like this.
And then you wanna take this other piece
and you wanna twist it out
and then you twist them together.
So you twist each individual piece first
and then you twist them together.
So again, take this one, twist it in.
This one, twist it out. Then we twist together.
So in, out, together.
And then in, out, together.
And I have layers at the bottom,
so you might see a few of those start popping out.
That's totally normal.
I don't mind 'cause I like my hairstyles messier.
If you don't, of course you could just pin them in
or hairspray them in.
Twist, twist, together.
Probably do one more.
Twist, twist, together.
And then I take these small rubber bands.
Rubber band it at the bottom, like so.
It untwists just a tiny bit, so it loosens just a tiny bit.
What I do is I then go back
and I kinda fluff these pieces so that they look more...
If you know what a pancake braid is,
they look more pancaked or a little bit fuller.
I have a little piece in here.
That's gonna be kind of annoying.
I'm gonna just tuck him in,
pull this out to frame my face a little bit better up here.
And I pull it out around my ear, as well,
because I like kind of the fuller, messier look.
You can keep it tight if you want to.
You can pull it looser than I do.
It's up to everyone to do their own thing.
And then the next thing I do
is I take a small piece around my ear
and I just let it be loose so it feels a little messier.
And then we do the same thing on the other side.
(upbeat music)
Okay, again, we just take a little section in the front
and split it in two equal parts.
We take this front piece closer to my forehead
and we twist it over.
We have these two pieces that are twisted.
Then again, this bottom piece, we're gonna add hair,
comb it through, and then twist it over.
And we just repeat that step all the way down the hair.
(upbeat music)
And again, we're back to that bottom section
where it can get kind of tough.
So we have the two sections.
We're gonna twist this one in
and this one out, and then we twist together.
We twist this one in, this one out, twist together.
In, out, together.
(upbeat music)
And you can go through and fluff what you want
to make it look the way you want it.
So I always fluff a little bit at the top,
just 'cause I think it frames my face better
'cause you can see the difference
between it being tight versus it being looser.
Up to you whether or not you like it.
If you're doing dance or exercise,
tight might be better.
If you're going for more boho look, loose might be better.
So you can just pull at those pieces that you've added in
and kind of loosen them around the face.
(upbeat music)
And then I always pull a little section from my ear
to give myself a little whispy.
And finished the hairstyle.
So I rubber band both of them,
and I've kinda fluffed both of them.
And then the last thing that I usually do
is I take hairspray.
My mom has her Hairitage hairspray,
the Wiggle Room Flexible Hold Hairspray,
which I just use, spray all over,
and kind of brush down any of the fly-aways
to hold the whole style in place.
So I'm gonna do that now.
(upbeat music)
And we're done.
