How to... Fishtail Plait



1. Start by pulling hair round to one-side - I find it's easier to do a fishtail plait on the side, however with more practice you could always do one to the back.

2. Split hair into two even sections

3. Start by taking a piece of hair from the back section (I've selected large pieces so it's easier to see but you can always use smaller pieces)

4. Pull the back piece around to the front section

5. Take a piece from the front section

6. ...and pull that around to the back section

7.8.&9. Carry on taking pieces from front to back

10. And secure!

How to... Ballerina Bun


photos: piniterest we heart it, padgett hoke

Ever since the release of Black Swan earlier this year, the ballerina craze has been huge. Here is my 'How to..' guide for the perfect ballerina inspired bun. 




What you need:  
  • A 'donut' hair piece in your shade of hair (you can buy these from Boots for around £2)
  • Hair pins, again in the shade of your hair
  • A hair tie
  • Some hairspray (I love L'oreal Elnett)

1. Tie your hair in a high pony-tail. Brush and tie it tight if you want a slick glam look, or keep it loose for a messier finish.
2. Pull your pony-tail through the middle of the donut so that it sits at the base.
3. Wrap your hair all around the donut, tucking in the ends underneath.
4. Use hairpins to pin the hair into the donut.
5. Finish with spraying lightly with hairspray.
