This is the first of my “Holiday Hair” series. This style is SO easy and I always get lots of compliments when I wear my hair this way.
It works very well on hair chin-length or longer.
Next weekend I’ll have another easy Holiday Hair style – the high bun! WOO!

What a cute and easy to do idea! Thanks for sharing.
I bought dress about 6 months ago, which is a 1940′s kinda style, and I’ve never worn it as I don’t know how to do my hair and accessories, without looking too try-hard. I reckon this style would look perfect, thanks Heather!

YES! And if you curled your hair, it would be perfect!
Hair out of my face = win…I am definitely doing this! I am a big fan of your bang braid, and I have the braiding part down, but I am constantly re-attaching it to my head, because the bobby pins slip out (I have thick hair). I have tried more than two bobby pins but then I look like metal is coming out of my head! Do you have any suggestions on other ways to attach the braid/twist?
Have you tried crossing the bobby pins so they make an X? I’ve found that doing that can really anchor the hair.
I had this exact question! Thanks for the answer!
This style has been a lifesaver for my growing-out bangs!
I LOL’d at HINT, HINT. That was the most aggressive hint, hint I’ve ever hear!
MIKE, BUY YOUR ADORABLE WIFE SOME EARRINGS FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! (Just in case he didn’t get the subtle hint you through out there in your video!)
He will never watch this! Hee hee.
Love these hair segments. Wishing mine was longer . . .
Heather,
Love the hair style! Your hair is so pretty. What do you do to keep your hair so healthy and shiny? Any tips you can share?
I am doing this RIGHT NOW as I head to the ballet tonight and had no idea what to do with my hair. Thanks Heather!
LOVE the Holiday Hair idea!! I dig these easy, pretty do’s!
Thanks! I will have to try this “partial twist” – so simple and sleek. I do something similar but twist all the way back on each side, gathering hair as I go, and either clip with a barrette in back or make a pony, making a hole in the middle above the pony and flip it through. Can’t wait for the high bun tutorial – this technique has eluded me

While watching this, my 2 1/2 year old took her eyes off the Wonder Pets and exclaimed, ” She looks BEAUTIFUL!”. Agreed. Thanks for the cute hair tips!
*Hint* *Hint*
You’re adorable! That’s all.
I love that too. “hint” “hint” Hopefully Mike has seen this.

Love this and definitely need a high bun tutorial. I love buns but mine always end up too messy or to… ballerina-y…
That amazing contraption made by Goodie is called a Spin Pin. They are the best!
Ohh I like this style! This would work for me to because my front angles are in that awkward length right now so it will pull them back. Thanks Heather!!
My hair is alllllllmost long enough for this! I just need like an inch more…Hey, maybe if I borrowed Annie some of her magical hair growing ability would wear off on me. I’m convinced she is magical because I was bald until I was like two.
Heather, I totally came to your site in a pinch today with no idea what to do with my hair & somewhere important to be. Side twists saved me (five monutes!), and I added some silver hair clips on either side to hold the twist since my hair is heavy & tends to bend bobby pins. I credit you with making it to the event feeling like a girl and not a dirty hippie! xoxox
