Upside-down Candy Corn Hairstyle

Upside-down Candy Corn Hairstyle
This is a great hairstyle for people with short hair, but it works with any hair length. This is perfect for a Halloween party or to just wear to school during October. I personally would t wear this to school, but it`s adorable on little girls.

I decided to show you guys this hairstyle on Red Riding Hoods hair just to let you see that it can work on short hair as well. Also, you can substitute the orange, yellow, and white hair ties with another color, as it would work as just a waterfall triangle. 
  
There are tons of different things you can do with this hairstyle, but I like it just as a candy corn (upside down!) What I used to get this hairstyle were:
*3 small orange hair ties

*2 small yellow hair ties

*1 small white hair ties

*comb and water spray bottle

*10-15 minutes

So to create this style, I simply made 3 square parts on her head, and tied them up with three orange hair ties. Then I took the middle ponytail, divided it in half, and ties the halves to the other two ponytails. Finally, I connected all of the hair into one ponytail to finish off the look. Sorry I don`t have a tutorial, but I may add one later! Thanks for reading!

2 into 1 Waterfall Braid

This is probably one of my favorite hairstyles. I usually wear it as one waterfall braid like in the picture on the right (that`s me, Cinderella!). I think that this hairstyle works well with loose ringlets or waves, even though both of these pictures have it with straight hair.
This hairstyle is a spin off of the waterfall braid, and I think that its easier for people who can`t french braid. What I did was two waterfall braids and then joined the two together in a twist braid at the end pinned off to the side of her head. You can see the tutorial for this hairstyle below (sorry about the sound I`m still figuring this out :P)
I hope you like this hairstyle thanks for watching! (if the video doesn`t work, you can find it here. its called 2 into 1 Waterfall Twist Braid on youtube)

Side Braid with Bun Updo

What I did

This updo would do well as a quick, cute, easy hairstyle for a day on the run. It is very secure, so you could wear it to a soccer game, dance, or even to school! 

All that this is is a simple poof with a side swept braid and a bun. I also teased the back to add just a little bit  more volume to the hairstyle. All that you need to do this hairstyle is:

*10-15 bobby pins

*one small hair tie

*1 or 2 big hair ties
*5-15 mins

I found out how to do my messy buns from my favorite hair styling website: Princess Hairstyles. You can find a link to the bun tutorial here.

I really love this hairstyle, and would wear it to school myself. It would really work with any type of bun you wanted. I would also try it with a twist bun like the one in the second picture. Also, you could leave out a few pieces and curl them to give it a more fancy look. 

I hope you like this hairstyle!
