Hair Up Style Instructions

Hair Up Style Instructions pictures There are a few reasons people put their hair up: to keep it out of their face, to look nice for the day or to have a formal hair style. Here are just a few hair-up style instructions. The classic ponytail is the easiest of them all. It’s good for women in some kind of sport to keep it out of their eyes. All you do is sweep all of your hair back, as high on your head as you want (generally placed on the bump on the back of your head) and secure in place with an elastic band.

A cute hairstyle women tend to wear when they are in the mood to relax is a loose bun. You put a classic ponytail on or near the very top of your head and twist it into a loose bun. Compliment this with a head band and you have a casual, relaxed look.

Another hair up design would be a more formal up do. When you pull your hair back, put a bump in your hair on the top of your head and sweep back into a clip. Use some hair spray to hold this in, and if you have trouble keeping the bump there, try one of the “Bump-its” you can get as an accessory. This is also a great hair style to wear as a business style.

A more complicated style would be a French braid, which is like a regular braid only starting at the very top of your head.

Sewn In Hair Weaves – How To Weave Hair

sewn in hair weave Hair weaves (extensions) are a great way to change your hair style without the wait. Hair weaves add length and volume to your hair and are a fun, sassy way to get a new look. They can be done at home or at a salon. They can be pricy, but for a well done weave an experienced salon is the way to go.

Weaves can be done with real or synthetic hair. Weaving is done when you take hair extensions and have them braided or sewn into your existing hair. They can also be applied using a special type of glue or wax. Hair weaves typically last up to two months, and can be taken care of just as you would your own hair. However weave hair can become dry and brittle as it is not attached to your scalp, and doesn’t receive your scalps natural oils, so take care to keep it conditioned.

To do a weave you start by having your hair braided into corn rows horizontally along the scalp. This is done so that once the hair extensions are sewn in they look like they are natural and appears to be one with the natural hair. Start at the base of your head and work your way up, adding a new layer as you go. Keep most of your hair up at the beginning, braiding the first extension in. Once that is done let down some of your hair, to create a layer and then braid in another extension. Continue the process until you have finished with the shortest extension. Remember that these hair extensions will make your hair heavy, so keep the layers to a minimum.

After you have finished with the shortest layer it is time to have it styled. Many women prefer to have their hair weave cut and styled after it is put in, so that it looks fresh and new. Remember that weaves take a long time to put in, so pack your patience. And also remember that they will take a long time to come out too.
