I want to give you some information about headbands
I usually use headbands if I go to the school because it's very simple but cute :D
So, I want you to try for use headbands, perhaps you will fall in love with headbands

Headbands are a clothing accessory worn in the hair or around the forehead, usually to hold hair away from the face or eyes. Headbands generally consist of a loop of elastic material or a horseshoe-shaped piece of flexible plastic or metal. They come in assorted shapes and sizes and are used for both fashion and practical/utilitarian purposes. Horseshoe-shaped headbands are sometimes called Alice bands after the headbands that Alice is often depicted wearing in Through the Looking-Glass.

One of the most flexible head accessories that a girl can have is a stretchy headband. Depending on the design of the headband, it can function as a ponytail holder, a headband, wrist band, or even a main hairpiece. If you are into headbands, particularly the stretchy ones that are coming back in fashion, then this article is just right for you. Get a couple of different styled headbands so that you can match it according to the occasion.

Materials that you will need:
Several kinds of stretchy headbands (glittery, simple, floral etc.)
Comb or brush
Hair spray (optional)
Pins and other hair accessories

• Doing a simple sporty up do. For the most basic use of the stretchy headbands, you can use it to part your hair when you are in a sporty routine or just when you need your hair out of your face. You can place a simple headband over your head until it reaches down your neck. Then with a comb or a hair brush, part your hair until all of it is swept behind your head neatly. Then slowly bring up the elastic headband to your forehead, with the other half just on your nape. This should flatten the hair on your forehead, and slowly push it upwards to your hairline. Depending on how strenuous your activity is, you might need to reposition it once in a while to keep your hair out of your face.

How to Wear Large Headbands

Almost any type or length of hair can wear a headband. Women usually wear large headbands, rather than men. Large headbands work well for holding back bangs. They can also sit on top of the hair and act as an accent. Large headbands come in various colors, patterns and textures. You can use a cloth-covered headband or a hard plastic one. Headbands accent hairstyles and help hold the style into place.

 

Things You'll Need

• Brush
• Large headband
• Hair gel
• Ponytail holder
• Bobby pins
• Curling iron, hot rollers or curlers
• Hairspray

Instructions

1.      Bangs

o    Brush the bangs back so that they are off your forehead.

o    Slide the headband on top of your bangs. Position it so that it hides the ends of your bands. Large headbands work well to cover the ends of the bangs.

o    Tuck any flyaways under the headband.

2.      Top of the Head

o    Place a nickel-sized drop of hair gel on your palm. Spread it over the top of your head and down your hair to keep it smooth.

o    Place the headband over the crown of your head.

o     Position the headband so that the ends sit behind your ears.

3.      Ponytail

o    Pull your hair back into a ponytail. It should sit no higher than the middle of the back of your head.

o    Place the headband over the crown of your head. From there, move it to where you want it to sit.

o    Tuck the ends of the headband into your hair. The ends may not fall directly behind your ears, depending on the angle in which you position the headband.

4.      Curls or Waves

o    Curl your hair. Use a curling iron, hot rollers or curlers.

o    Gather the curled hair behind your head.

o    Slip on the headband. Use it to hold the curls away from your face.

5.      Curls Up-Do

o    Use bobby pins to pin your curls into a messy bun at the back or top of your head. Leave one long strand one either side of your forehead free.

o    Slip the headband on. Push it to the crown of your head.

o    Leave the two strands in front hand free to frame your face.

Headbands for short hair

Draw attention to a stylish short haircut without messing it up by correctly wearing a headband. Headbands are fabric loops often backed with elastic and large enough to go all the way around the head. The function of a headband is to keep hair and sweat from getting in the wearer's eyes. They may also be worn as a non-functioning fashion accessory for those with short hair who are not sweating. Apply a comfortable headband to your noggin to add a stylish touch quickly to a short hairdo.

 

Things You'll Need

• Brush
• Styling products (optional)
• Mirror
• Hairpins (optional)

Instructions

1. Brush the short hair back away from the face in a style that you find pleasing. You may wish to use any variety of styling products to achieve the look you are going for or skip them all together. Select a thin headband to go with short hair and hold it next to the outfit it will be worn with to make sure the colors match or complement each other.

2. Spread the headband and hold it, so it is just above where the ears are and parallel to the hairline. Tilt the position of the headband up and down to rest below or above the hairline until you like the way it looks.

3. Release the headband, so it falls into place in the position you have chosen. Some headbands are open-ended and need to be tied in the back to keep them from sliding. You may also choose to use small hair clips if there is enough hair to attach the headband.

Some celebrities also use headbands to make herself more beautiful :

Get Miley's Look!

Create an off-center part, then place the headband around the center of your forehead. Use your fingers to loosen and lift hair at the crown

Get LC's Look!

Style hair into loose waves, then part down the center. Slide on a jeweled band about three inches from your hairline, letting your hair cover some of the headband.

Get Emma Roberts's Look!

Make an off-center part, then slip a fabric headband over hair just at the hairline. Pull a few pieces forward to frame your face.

Get AnnaLynne's Look!

Add volume by gently teasing hair at your crown, then place a double-strap headband just behind your ears.

Party Bun

Hello guys !
See you again with me
At this week, I want to give you information about PARTY BUN
Usually, teenagers always think that bun only for adult
At this post, I want to change your mind set :D

A bun (also known as a bobtail) is a type of hairstyle, typically worn by women, where the hair is pulled back from the face, twisted or plaited, and wrapped in a circular coil around itself, typically on the back of the head or neck. They can either be secured with a hairpiece, a hairnetand bobby pins. They may be tightly gathered or slightly messier and more informal. Buns, like ponytails, may cause headaches if worn too tight or up too high on the head.

Men are not often seen wearing them, but they can do so. This may be because they are using it in a practical way such as in sport (like samurais) or using it in a formal way.

Double bun

Double or pigtail buns are often called odango,which is also a type of Japanesedumpling (usually called dango; the o- is honorific).

The term was popularized by the anime and manga series Sailor Moon, whose eponymous heroine, her mother during the Ancient Silver Millennium, Queen Serenity, and her future daughter from the 30th Century Silver Millennium, Chibiusa (although Chibiusa's are more conical than spherical), all wear their hair in this style. They also wear two pigtails of hair that hang down from the two spherical buns, but this is not universal to the term's usage. The term odango in Japanese can refer to any variety of bun hairstyle.

In China, the hairstyle is known as "ox horns". It was a commonly used hairstyle up until the early 20th century, and can still be seen today when traditional attire is used. This hairstyle differs from the odango slightly in that it is gender neutral; Chinese paintings of children have frequently depicted girls as having matching ox horns, while boys have a single bun in the back.Some are for ballet classes or dance class.

Instantly Glam!

Double headbands turn a loose bun into a chic style! Just follow these easy steps to create a cute look to wear to school or a party!

Step 1

Apply a dollop of straightening gel to towel-dried hair. Use your fingers to distribute the product evenly from roots to ends.

Step 2

Blow-dry four-inch sections of hair (using medium heat), holding the dryer three inches from your head, and use a paddle brush to straighten and smooth each section.

Step 3

Pull your hair into a loose ponytail and secure it with an elastic at your crown. Twist and wrap your hair into a messy bun, then loop the ends through the elastic.

Step 4

Run your fingers through the front of your hair to loosen it from the elastic, and add texture. Slide in a thin black headband two inches from your hairline.

WALA !! This is it !!

How To Make Perfect Bun

Supplies:    

·         one tube-sock (the longer the sock the bigger the bun)

·         two hair bands

·         five or so bobby pins.

Step One

Grab a tube-sock that matches your hair color. It doesn’t have to be perfect but I would advise against choosing the bright pink and blue polka-dotted one if you’re a brunette. Cut a quarter sized hole in the toe, and role your sock until there’s nothing left to role. (It should resemble a swollen hair band with a small hole in the middle).

Step Two

Pull your hair back into a ponytail at the spot you want the center of your bun to be. Next pull your hair through the center of the rolled sock, and make sure you don’t leave any part of your ponytail behind.

Step Three

Spread your hair over the sock in all directions so that none of your sock shows. It helps if you lean forward so that your soon-to-be-bun is parallel to the ground and gravity is on your side. No need to mess with Mother Nature. Secure your hair with a hair-band around your hair and sock.

Step Four

Now your bun is almost perfect. The last step is to pin the ends of your hair after they’ve been wrapped around the outside of the bun. Then allow hair spray to become your best friend.

Mix It Up

To add some flavour to your bun and make it ready for crazy parties, or just a day out with your friends, you can add a braid  before you bring your hair into a pony-tail. Or, if you have nothing to do with your bangs, pin them back into a poof at the top of your head for that super-model “chic” look.

Bun For Dancing

Having spent nine years dancing with the New York City Ballet, Sophie Flack has pulled her hair up into a sleek, sturdy bun thousands of times. (According to our calculations, 8,300 times, give or take a couple hundred buns.) Now a writer—her first novel, titled, yes, Bunheads, came out this fall—she remains a master of the effortlessly elegant chignon.

Step 1

Part your hair on the side and pull it all back into a low, tight ponytail. Twirl the length of the ponytail into a tight coil and then spin it clockwise around the base, tucking in the ends.

Step 2    

                                                                     

Sick a pin into the edge of the coil toward your scalp. (Start wherever you like; here, Sophie has already inserted one pin on the right side of her bun.)

Step 3

Just before the tip of the pin hits your scalp, turn the pin in the opposite direction (180 degrees) and push it back down into the center of the bun. Four pins (one in each quadrant of the bun) should keep your bun secure.

Step 4

Apply hairspray. "This isn't a style you'll be running your fingers through, so use a strong formula," says Sophie, who likes Suave Rave 4X Mega Hairspray

The Right Pins

Hairpins, not bobby pins, are key to a sleek chignon. They hold more hair, so you get a bun sturdy enough to withstand pirouettes (or a lively holiday party).

I Want to Cut My Long Bangs !!

Hey guys !
See you again with me !
I hope my last post will be important for you girls !
At the last post, I told you some tips to overcome your too short bangs.
At this post, I will give you tips to overcome your too long bangs.

How to Cut Bangs (General)

It seems like every few weeks your bangs need to be trimmed. Who has time to go to the hairstylist that often? To save time and money, try trimming your own bangs. By following these simple steps, you won't end up butchering your hairstyle. Plus you can extend the time needed between haircuts.

Things You'll Need

·         Sharp scissors

·         Comb

·         Mirror

Instructions

1. Comb your bangs down straight over your forehead. Look in the mirror and decide how much you want to cut off.

2.    Grab your bangs and twist them a few times. Hold the ends with the hand you won't be using to cut. Twisting will prevent you from having one straight line of bangs.

3.    Take a deep breath and grab your scissors with the hand not holding your hair. While looking in the mirror, cut slightly below where you actually want your bangs cut. Remember that your bangs will bounce back a little after they are cut, so do not cut off too much. Cut straight across holding your bangs tightly until all the hair is cut.

4.    Drop the cut hair in the garbage. You can use your blow dryer on low to blow off any loose hairs on your face or body.

5.    Comb your bangs down straight. If you have any stray hairs that slipped out while cutting, cut them on an angle.

6.    Shake your fingers lightly through your bangs to loosen them up so they will look more natural. If they are not short enough, repeat these steps.

7.    This optional step is for the very brave. Once your bangs are the length you want, grab the scissors and hold them sharp side pointing up toward the ceiling. Place the scissors a fingertips length into your hair starting on the left. Carefully cut. Move the scissors every few inches to the right to give your bangs a choppy kind of look. You will be cutting very little hair. This will help your bangs separate a little more.

How to Cut Bettie Bang Fringe

There are a few advantages to learning how to cut cut bangs at home. Cutting bangs at home cuts down on the expense of having to visit a salon every few weeks, or monthly as bangs get shaggy. It's also convenient for those with busy schedules or young kids to be able to cut their own bangs, rather than having to fit into a hairdresser's schedule. Bettie bangs are a style of bangs made famous by Bettie Page in the 1950's.

Things You'll Need

• Sharp hair cutting scissors
• Comb
• Smock
• Bright lights
• Hairspray

Instructions

1. Gather the comb, smock, scissors and other supplies. Make sure the bathroom is brightly lit and put on the smock to catch hair as it's cut. Comb bangs straight down. Bangs should always be dry when they're cut because hair shrinks as it dries and may be shorter than anticipated.

2.    Use sharp haircutting scissors to cut bangs straight across. They will be shaped in the next step, but for now cut in a straight line from one side of the bangs to the next. Whatever length is desired is fine, but as a general rule, cut bangs to graze the eyebrows.

3.    Use fingers or the comb to trace an angle from the outside edges of bang to the middle to get an idea of how short to cut the edges of bangs. The idea is going to be for bangs to be shorter on the outside edges and longer in the middle. Starting at one outside edge, cut bangs at an angle, getting longer in the area of the nose. Repeat the process at the other edge of bangs, ensuring that the length of the sides of bangs is the same and that the bangs gently curve to get longer in the middle.

4.    Style Bettie bangs. Use a flat iron to gently curl bangs under. Spray with hairsprax to keep bangs in this shape.

How to Trim Bangs Between Haircuts

If you have a haircut with bangs, then you've probably experienced the frustration of overgrown bangs in between haircuts. While some stylists offer free bang trims in between cuts, you may want to try trimming your bangs by yourself.

Instructions

1. Buy a pair of scissors in a beauty salon or store. Look for a pair of scissors that has short blades and pointed ends. Scissors with blades that are 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 inches in length are the best for trimming a haircut with bangs.

2. Shampoo your hair and condition it with a leave-in conditioner. Initially, dry your bangs with a towel. Complete the drying process by drying hair with a blow dryer. Blow the bangs out straight
3. Divide your bangs into three sections including a middle section and two side sections.
4. Place the middle section of bangs between your horizontally placed index and middle fingers. Slowly and gently, draw your hand about halfway down the length of your bangs. Be careful to not overstretch the bangs or pull them too tight.
5. Hold your scissors at 45-degree angle and start trimming your bangs. Move slowly, cutting off small pieces as you go.
6. Repeat this process with the two side sections of hair, using the middle section as your guide to length.
7. Evaluate your bangs after trimming and make minor adjustments as neede
