going to show you two really quick hairstyles that you can do when you're
in a hurry and you won't believe how easy it is to do so all you're going to
need for this first style is one of these these elastics are amazing I'll
leave the link below where you can buy them but if you haven't tried them yet
they stop all the breakage in your hair so when you put your hair in a ponytail
nothing's rubbing because it's your hair goes into the little loops so zero
breakage you're gonna need this and some bobby pins and hairspray for optional
extras you can use some clipping hair pieces natural hair whatever length your
hair is you can get clippings that will suit it and what they do is they give
you bulk so that you can do more styles with your hair and I love these and I
don't use them all the time but when I need to get out of the door quick these
are magic okay first style if I'm in a hurry and I
just need to get up and go I wash my fringe and blow-dry it and I'll leave a
link to show you how I do that but that's very quick so I'll just get
my fringe clean and ready and then I'll bring my hair all to one side like this
and you can add a couple of clip ins if you like and it's worth giving it a try
see I can add a blonde and it because my hair is thick it'll all blend in but if
you don't have already layered colors just find a color that's similar
to yours and if you can't find a perfect color ask your hairdresser to use the
same colored tint in your hair on your pieces and then you can just use them
forever so you just throw them in to your hair and you clip them in the
little combs go into your hair and all of a sudden you've got this extra
thickness that you can work with I'll grab a bobby pin and I'll pull this part
of my hair back and just pin it really loosely at the back here and then I'll
do a Platt in my hair just a very loose Platt
okay and you just tie that okay so as you can see that just looks like I've
done a plate but this is what you do and it adds thickness to your hair and gives
it volume and it gives your platter more unique look so you start at the top of
your plate and you pull out the sides and you add volume so you're pulling the
hair out like this it gives the illusion that you've got really thick hair when
not necessarily you do you can just get that little piece there and you can put
a straightener over it if you like and see this extra bit of volume that you've
got from your plate it completely changes the look from just having a
platinum Li you pull it all out volume here it's like it's adding width to this
part of your face so having this volume is great for a plate and then you can
just pull out strands and if you like you can go ahead and just smooth them
out or give them a little curl just a really gentle curl you don't want it to
be curly
so just just soft and I've got a few layers in the top of my hair but if you
don't you don't need to do this and that is really so quick and so easy and the
messiness looks great and it's done you can just go out the door I'd put a
little bit of hairspray on that and depending on if your hair's falling out
you know because it's too short just bobby pin it up at the back to keep
those pieces in place but because this is a messy look it doesn't have to be
too perfect you don't have to get it all in place it's just simple and easy and
anybody can do that and you're ready in five minutes literally plus the fringe
which will take you a couple of minutes okay now I'll take this one out and the
other look is a side bun leave a little bit out pin this pit back and again just
randomly tie your hair
okay now that's not going to look like you're done enough to go out
so grab your pieces of your hair grab a section like this and twist it back into
underneath the hair tie and then pull so you twist and pull I'll grab another
piece I'm going to put it under my hair tie this little bit of ends going to
stick out and then I'm going to fan it out fan the hair out and I'll keep going
and put this next bit under you're putting it all underneath your hair tie
a little bit sticks out that's part of the look and then fan it out again so
that way every time you do this it's different because you've got different
parts fanned out and that will stay in all day you might need to give it a
little bit of spray and you can keep playing with it until you get the the
shape that you like but I like that for me it's good it's giving me some bulk up
near my face and I could go now and just smooth these pieces out and if your hair
is like very very straight this is a good thing to do because it gives you
some volume that it's quite hard to achieve with straight hair if you're
just wearing it out so if my hair was very very straight you could get a
teasing brush and before you curl them up just give it a little tease so that
you've got some more structure to your hair put it underneath and then fan it
out because my hair is so frizzy I need to smooth it out so this will smooth it
out a little bit and I just like to have a little bit on this side you don't need
to do this if your hair smooth you can have it all smooth back like this and
like this and this is the feature then and you've you
can create this different each time depending on on how much you fan it out
and also it depends whether you've got your little extension clips in there or
not if you don't have those in this still works it's just not as volumous so
I would recommend having a play and getting some of these because they're
fun to use and you can do this in five seconds flats I would also add a little
bit of height here so I showed you this in my last hair video but I like to get
a bit of volume so I'll I'll just add a bit of heat let it sit for a little bit
and then while you're doing that you can put a little bit of hair oil or Moroccan
oil then you choose into these ends to just smooth it out a little bit and then
pull this out give it a very gentle tease don't over tease so giving myself
a little bit more height works for me and I also like messy the messy look but
if you like the smooth look you can still achieve this and then give it a
little spray and a tweak and try and get all the bits down that are flying away
and it's done you can also pull things out you can you could pull these little
pieces out and and put the straightening iron over this or just have it however
you like so many different ways you could do this and it's different each
time so there you go that was really quick a few things for you to try next
time you're in a rush with your hair try these little clips they're great
and yeah I think that's all I've got for you today so enjoy playing with your
hair trying some new styles okay stay watching to meet four new
