French Twist Updo for Short Hair

French Twist Updo for Short Hair
As you all know, we are coming to the holiday season, which is very exciting. I, for one, love the holidays. One of my favorite things about it is that there are so many different hairstyles you get to try! I love the holiday season!

 So this is another hairstyle for short hair, but I think that if you mess with the back a bit you may figure out how to get it to work for all hair types (look for a tutorial in the future *wink wink*) I just love doing these twist hairstyles!
So all that this hairstyle is is a french twist on both sides of your head into a ponytail which you tuck into the twists to create a kind of crown-ish look. 
I`ve posted the tutorial to the hairstyle below if you prefer that (I know I do!):


I hope you like this hairstyle and that its useful! Thanks for watching!

Waterfall Braid Crown/Wraparound


Waterfall Braid Crown/Wraparound
This hairstyle is very popular right now, but most people don`t know how to do it! I learned how to do a waterfall braid on one of my favorite hair styling websites/YouTube channels-Cute Girls Hairstyles. Click Here to watch the video. 

I started the braid like a normal waterfall braid, and you could stop this braid whenever you want to, but I kept braiding.  An easy variation of this hairstyle would be to stop before the back of your head and braid of the remaining hair, or pin it up. 
I simply kept braiding all the way around the head until I got all the way to the other side.
 I finished the braid on the side by twisting the last two strands over each other once and pinning them up.  Try to use bobby pins that match your hair color, though I used some that were a different color so that they were easily visible.
 I also added some GoRgEoUs ringlet-e curls with my 1-1/2 in curling wand by Helen of Troy. 
I think this is a great hairstyle for a wedding, party, or whatever you want!  Wearing it with straight or curly hair is an easy way to dress it either up or down!
