It has definately been a long time coming. So, I am excited to announce that the Messy Bun Hair Tutorial is finally up. This video will show you my process of how I create and wear my signature messy bun. I hope you enjoy it and maybe get to try a new look for yourself. Let me know if this was helpful at all and I will work on posting more hair tutorials.

melissa -
love this! i attempted it yesterday and today, and told my fiance’ i was “prom-ifying” my hair! he knew exactly what i meant lol. today’s was far more successful after not washing it for a day. also- something i have been using a while to add more grit/texture to my hair, especially after i’ve washed it, is a sea salt spray!! it seriously makes a HUGE difference. i have really fine hair that doesnt hold back-combing well, if i add the seasalt, it holds a million times better and gives me that havent-washed-my-hair texture right after washing it!
Michelle Feeney - Wow, girl, so fun and cool. You have amazing hair. Thanks too much for putting this together.
rebecca - i LOVE it!! i always have big messy hair as well, but mine is nowhere near as thick as yours. is it all your natural hair? or do you have extensions?
promisetangeman - Hey Rebecca! that is all my natural hair.
I was born with it. haha.
Kristin Rogers - WE want more…we want more!
Jaclyn C. - I tried it today and it is looking pretty darn good if ya ask me.
Thanks for sharing!
morganvicki - I love it! Tried it this morning and it’s already fallen quite a bit – must be the joys of having thin hair, but I’ll keep trying! Thanks for this I have always wondered how to perfect this look
duna loves - great!

:4 Tips for (REALLY) Effortless Beauty: « What She Would Have Worn - [...] – DRY SHAMPOO. I can’t tell you how much I love dry shampoo and not because it can transition you from 2nd to 3rd day hair no problem. I love it because Dry Shampoo gives you 2nd and 3rd day hair on the FIRST DAY. If you love a gritty tousled head and not so perfect curls and blowouts, than you need to buy a $3 dollar bottle of this stuff (I use suave, it smells so yummy!) I have read quite a few articles recently about the styling benefits of dry shampoo and was convinced that it would be a multi-functional investment for me. Here are a few links to some dry shampoo fans: She Lets Her Hair Down, Promise Tangeman [...]
