Three Ways To Turn Your Hair From Generic to Glam

There's nothing worse than rocking a great hair style, only to leave a big, honking hair elastic staring down at everyone that tries to admire your amazing style. Hair elastics suck. It doesn't matter if you buy some from the dollar store, the department store or a luxurious brand boutique, they all fall into the same category of hair accessories that totally take away from the look that you have created. Just take a look at the next red carpet. You will certainly notice how many celebrities don't have their hair elastic showing, and why is that you ask? Well, duh! Because hair elastics suck! Now, I understand that we don't all have the luxury of having a professional hair stylist come into our homes to perfect our hair to resemble something off of the red carpet that we all adore, so instead, I am going to provide the three easiest ways for you to take your hair style to the next level, just by covering up your hair elastic.

Your simply, took-two-seconds-to-do ponytail can go from generic to glam with one quick twist of hair around your elastic band. This is a personal favourite of mine because it's so quick to create and looks like something you'd only see on the front page of fabulous magazine. Once your hair is in your ponytail, (take a strand preferably from the bottom), and wrap it up and around your hair elastic. Secure with bobby pins and hair spray the heck out of it so it stays. You can play around with different amounts of hair that you use, as well as different textures such as braids and twists. There are a variety of ways to switch this little wrap around into something fabulous for all the events taking up your agenda.

The second way to take your hair from a generic style to something of pure glamour is with a tuck under. I like to do these for ponytails to the side, as well as any kind of love style or bun and certainly you will learn to love it as well! Pull your hair back into a low ponytail, and be sure to keep it somewhat loose. Separate your hair above the hair elastic, so your hair appears to have a hole in it. Bring your ponytail up, and through that very hole, and pull it down and out under it. Tighten it up with a quick squeeze and your nape neck style has taken on a whole new appeal.

The third way that you can cover up that ugly hair elastic that is taking away from your swag is with a hair cuff. Hair jewelry is super trendy for this season and it can be the perfect accent to your up do to take your hair style from day to night. Add a little sparkle and shine, while covering up that ugly matte elastic!

Now, these are only three of the easiest ways that you can cover up your ponytail elastic to make your look chic and fabulous! Experiment and see if you can find any new ways!

Don't Threat When in a Rush!

 

        Okay, this is something that happens to everyone, some more than others, and that’s waking up late! Sometimes you completely dismiss your alarm or simply don't hear it. Some of you are probably thinking “yes that happens to me often."  It's horrible when you have to be somewhere at a certain time and don't think you're going to make it. And how awful it is to be rushed and have no time to get ready! I mean who really thinks about doing her hair or make up?  selecting an outfit is difficult enough as it is ( that is if you don't wear a uniform of course) bottom line ladies, I want to share some tips with you that will help you get ready quickly and still manage to look good.  
 
1) Select your outfit ahead of time: the night before: If you know you've had a long day and are really tired, it's better to select your outfit the night before, trust me on this one, it’s always better to be prepared. Having this done has gotten me out of the house faster.                                           
 
2) The Make Up: okay now, you're probably going " girl, how I'm I going to have time to do make up." Don't worry it's actually quite simple, in fact it takes less than three minutes! All you really have to do is just enhance your natural beauty, forget the mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow. Firstly apply on your foundation, spread it evenly all over your face. Secondly put on some blush. And redefine your eyebrows by filling them in with a brow pencil. To top of the look you may choose to add some lipstick (the nice thing is that you can add lipstick anywhere, it doesn't necessarily have to be while you’re trying to leave your house!)
 
3) The Hair: Alright this can be a little tricky considering everyone has different hair types and some hairs ate hard to tame. Therefore I'll give specific tips for certain hair types.

      I) Curly hair: Okay, curly is    difficult, but don't panic, there is always a solution. When in a rush I highly suggest adding your usual hair products and tying it up in messy bun. You can also chose to add certain hair accessories for a cuter look.
 
      II) Wavy Hair: This type of hair can be docile all you have to do is learn how to deal with it. If you're in a rush you can aid your natural waves by adding some moose, or you can simply choose to put it in a bun or braid it.
 
      III) Straight Hair: If you have straight hair you are one lucky girl! All you have to do is brush it out and it will be ready, or you can put it up of you like.
 
      -Very well ladies, these are just a couple of tips on how to go about when you are in a rush. Remember a woman doesn't need to wear a lot of make up to look beautiful, and her hair doesn't need to be perfect every day.
