♫ Won't you be my
♫ Won't you be my valentine?
- Hi everyone, welcome to the channel.
So it's that time of year again.
It's prom season and honestly I am so jealous
of everyone who is going to prom this year.
I'm too old for prom now unfortunately
but I remember my prom it was so much fun,
I think I was actually on the prom committee
which was really really fun but I thought I'd take
this opportunity to show you guys four different
prom hairstyles you can wear with you Milk and Blush
hair extensions.
Two are for the girls who like to rock their
long Milk and Blush hair extensions.
And the other two are for those girls
who have short hair or lobs or anything like that,
I don't want to leave you girls out.
So stay tuned and I'll show you how they're done.
This style is a really elegant, chic style for prom.
And I was actually inspired by Kim Kardashian's hair
at her wedding for this style, it's super easy
and with your Milk and Blush hair extensions
it looks so amazing.
So I'm going to be using my quad set for this style.
But I'm only going to be needing
two three clips, the one four clip weft and one of
the two clips because we just want hair in the back,
well length in the back, we want hair all over.
So I'm gonna pop my extensions in first.
♫ My heart it melts, I could stay here a while
- Once you clipped all your wefts in,
we're gonna get on to popping some volume
at the crown here, you don't want it too big,
you just want a little bit, a tiny tiny bouffant.
So I'm just going to use my back combing brush
and I'm just gonna sweep my hair back.
Just so you can kind of work out where to start
the back combing so I'm gonna start about here.
So I'm just going to lift up this section.
And then I'm just gonna gently backcomb at the roots.
And the best way to backcomb without damaging your hair
is to get your backcomb brush, just push down
towards the root, take the comb out again,
and then just repeat that process.
If you kind of go up and down like that,
that's how you damage your hair.
So just repeat that process and I like to spray
a little bit of light weight hairspray on that backcomb
as well.
Then you can just flip that forward
and that's the style done.
No I'm joking, you're just gonna carry on,
taking your hair in sections and just backcombing the roots.
You also want to take sections of the hair
on the side as well and backcomb those
just so you get a nice rounded bouffant.
♫ I'll shout to the world my love for you
- Okay so once you have this bird's nest on your head,
you're gonna flip all of this hair back
and you're gonna use your backcombing brush
and just smooth this over.
♫ Because you're beautiful and all that you are
- And once you're happy with the amount of volume you have,
you're just gonna set all of that in place
with some hairspray.
Now you can get on to smoothing down the front sections
as you can see I've opted for a centre parting
but this looks just as pretty on the side as well,
it's just what you prefer really.
So you're gonna take these front two sections.
It's kind of if you draw a line from your part down
to your ear, that's the section you want to take.
Then you just want to tuck this section behind your ear
as flat as possible while you do it.
And once you've done that, you're gonna grab
a little clear elastic and you're gonna take
these sections, underneath all of your hair
and join them at the back, keeping them really flat
and tight as you do this.
And then you just queue them in place
with your little elastic.
Then you can use just a little bit of hairspray
just to set those pieces in place and smooth
down flyaways and then I like to give my hair
one final comb with my backcombing brushes
to make sure it's all nice and neat.
And now at this stage, you can do pretty much
whatever you like with the wefts, you can straighten them
and go for a really sleek look
or you can put a wave through your hair.
I think I'm gonna go with a wave.
So I've got my curling wand.
And I'm just gonna split my hair in two
and I'm gonna take relatively big sections
and just curl away from my face, I think I'm gonna
split each side into about three sections
and that should give me a really nice big wave.
♫ Crazy, crazy for you
♫ I cannot describe it except that I'm in love
- Once your waves are cooled you can brush them out
really really softly and you want to kind of grab
your hair right here while you do this because you don't
want to pull on your hair too much
and bring this volume down.
If that does happen, you can always push it back up
and add a bit more hairspray.
And I like to just sweep my hair to the back
and you're done, that's your sophisticated
Kim Kardashian inspired prom look.
This style is a real prom worthy braid
and it's so easy to do.
Everyone at prom is going to think you spent
hours and hours doing this but it really only takes
about five minutes so I'm gonna call on the help
of my extra long Milk and Blush hair extensions.
These are in length 24 to 26 so they're super long
and I'm just gonna pop these in.
And I'm gonna pop the back wefts in as normal
but I'm only gonna put wefts on this side
because we're gonna sweep all of the hair to one side.
♫ I could stay here a while
♫ And it's pure satisfaction the kind of attraction
- Once you put all of your wefts in,
you're just gonna sweep all of your hair to one side.
You see how long that is, this is gonna make such
a nice pretty braid and I'm just gonna brush out
just to make sure there aren't tangles.
And we're gonna get started on the braid.
All you're gonna need for this are a bunch of clear
elastics, you're gonna need quite a few
because the hair is quite long.
And I'm gonna take a section of my hair,
I'm gonna put my fingers where my eyebrows are
and just pull the back to create the first section.
I'm also gonna take a little bit of hair out
to the front to frame my face.
Just like that and then just above that hair tie.
Going to make a gap like that and then you're gonna
flip this hair over and through that gap.
Kind of like a topsy-tail.
You can just pinch and pull on the hair to loosen up.
Then to create the next section of this braid,
you're gonna take a section of hair from either side
of this section here, pull them in front,
and tie them with an elastic.
And then see this gap here?
I'm just going to flip this hair up and through that gap.
Pull on the braid just a little bit.
♫ And I will sing because you're beautiful
♫ And all that you are
♫ Like a clear night sky, graced by a shooting bright star
♫ So won't you be my
♫ Won't you be my
♫ Won't you be my sweet valentine
♫ Oh and I will stay true
- Once you get to the end of the braid,
you can just pinch and pull on all the sections
just to make the braid look even bigger.
To finish this look off, I'm just gonna pop
a little wave in this front bit of hair here.
Just like that and there you have it.
That's your finished braid for prom.
I love this braid, it's so Disney princess like,
so girly, I just love it and it's super super easy.
Now it's time for the shorter styles.
And as you can see my lob is looking a lot fuller
and thicker thanks to my Milk and Blush hair extensions,
I have the 12 to 14 set cut to match my lob
and if you haven't seen my five lob hairstyles,
then go check that out now, I'll pop the link
in the description box for you.
So this style is basically a really elegant curls
for your lob because I think girls with lobs
we tend just kind of go for beachy waves
but for something like a prom we want something
a bit more elegant and a bit more dressed up really
and this is really simple.
I'm just going to section off my hair like I normally would.
And I've got my curing wand, my trusty curling wand
I always use and I'm gonna take a section
about an inch thick, not too thick
because when you're hair's shorter and not much thicker
it can be quite hard to maintain a curl.
So about that size section is good.
And then I'm gonna point my curling wand down.
Put all the hair flat around the wand and quite tightly.
Hold that for about ten seconds
and I'm gonna drop the curl into my hand
and you want to hold this curl until it's almost cooled.
This will give your curls real staying power.
I think the biggest difference I notice
when I have shorter hair is that my curls
just drop out that much quicker.
And just let that curl go and you can see
you've got a proper bouncy curl.
And you're just gonna go throughout all of your hair,
always curling away from your face
and taking the same size sections every time.
♫ You're stuck in my mind, mind, mind
♫ Every time that you laugh, every time that you smile
- Once you curled all of your hair, you just want to leave
that for a good five or ten minutes until your hair's
completely cool and then you can brush all the curls out.
All my curls are cooled so I'm just going to brush
them out softly, standard procedure.
And you can see you get this really nice bounce.
And then I like to just put a little bit of volume
just right here, so I'm gonna section off
the front part of my hair and just backcomb gently.
Finish the whole thing with hairspray.
And there you have it, those are your elegant curls
for prom, perfect if you've got short hair
and very very prom worthy.
This style is a really pretty braided updo,
perfect if you have a lob or shorter hair,
it's so so simple to do.
So I've already parted my hair on the side.
And you can see I've already got my Milk and Blush
hair extensions in with the curl from the previous look
and I'm just going to section off my hair in the front
and I'm gonna take a little kind of triangular section
right by my part and I'm going to start to do a dutch braid.
And if you haven't done one of these before
basically instead of popping the outside strand
under the middle, you go over.
So start off the braid, braid a couple of times,
going over the middle section.
And then you're gonna incorporate hair just from the front.
So every time you bring a new section to the front,
you incorporate some hair.
You want to carry on braiding until you get to your ear,
just about there and then you can stop incorporating hair
and just finish off the braid.
And then I like to just tie this off with a little elastic.
And I'm going to do exactly the same thing on this side.
So taking a small triangle section of hair,
split that into three and put the outer section
over the middle a couple of times
and then incorporate hair from the front of the face.
And tie that off with an elastic.
And we're just gonna mess up these braids a little bit,
pull them out, make them look a bit thicker.
So you just pinch and pull on the outside of the braid.
And then all that's left to do is pull all your hair
towards the back, make sure it's smooth on the top
and on the back and then you're just gonna twist
this hair around, twist it into a bun, and pin it in place.
And there you have it, that's your braided updo.
So there you have it guys, those are my go-to styles
