As you braid add more strands from the original section.
Be sure to braid so that your hair wraps around the top of your head.

How to give yourself Natural looking curls

Natural looking curls posted on michaelanoelledesigns

How to :

Get your hair a little damp (I did it dry & it worked fine) .
Put the elastic headband around your head (partly over your forehead) .
Get a section of hair and twist away from face .
Loop it around headband and add hair to your next twist (My mistake was looping it around all at once. Once you loop it, take the remaining hair and add a little more, twist and then loop again) .
Repeat around the entire headband .
Get a good nights rest .
Take off the headband when you wake up and run your fingers through (Don’t worry, if you look like Shirley Temple, the curls will relax within a few minutes)

Voila, you now have the perfect curls/waves.

IDEAL FOR : long hair.

BUT IF YOU HAVE A BOB : Start the braids above your ears ( and toward the sides of your head ). That way, the braids won't have to reach very far.

PREP : Depending on your hair, work in anti-frizz, smoothing or texture products before drying.

Center part your hair and make two pigtails at the back of your head. if your hair is shorter, the pigtails can be on the sides of your head, above the ears.
Braids both pigtails - make sure they're tight - and secure each with an elastic.
Wrap one braid over your head, setting it about one inch back from your hairline and securing the ends with bobby pins.
Wrap and secure the other braid in the same way. ( the braids might overlap or meet, depending on your hair light.)

wedding braids hair tutorial

wedding braids hair tutorial posted on joannagoddard

How to :

Start by making two pigtails, using rubber bands. Make them a bit higher up on your head.
Braid both pigtails...
...and secure ends with a rubber band.
Remove the top rubber bands from the pigtails.
Cross one braid over the other.
Starting with the braid that's now on top, create a sort of "C" shape and pin. It doesn't have to be precise; you just want to have a nice curved shape from the braid.
Make the same curved shape with the other braid and pin. Curve it up and over the top of the braid you just pinned down.
Ultimately, you want to get a nice sort of pretzel or knot shape from the two braids. Tuck the ends of both braids behind the knot and pin them down securely.

How to do the triangle nails

the triangle nails posted on jezebel

These nails! They look a little bit like a '30s-style "moon" manicure, but more aggressive.

the triangle nails posted on jezebel

Here's what you'll need, Nail polish remover. nail file and nail clippers. Top coat. Base coat. Two colors of nail polish. if you don't have a color with a narrow brush, you could use a nail-art pen for one of your colors, or a toothpick and a regular bottle of polish.

Steps :

First, prep for your manicure. When your nails are clean, shape them with the clippers and file. When you're done, wipe each nail with polish remover on a cotton ball or a tissue.
Apply your base coat.
make an "X" on each nail.
Then use a toothpick wrapped in a little bit of cotton, and dipped in remover — to gently clean up the top of the "X" so a "V" is all that remains.
Paint the bottoms of the triangles, then fill them in. Do a second layer if necessary.
using your nail color, carefully paint a second, larger "X" alongside your little triangles. the two polish colors should touch at the edges, but not overlap. When the first "X" is done, take the brush and spread the nail polish out to cover the rest of the nail.
Next comes the top coat.
And then once it's dry, voilà!

how to Give Yourself a Splatter Paint Nails

Splatter Paint Nails posted on prettygossip

How to :

Paint your nails opaque white and let dry.
Take a strip of tape and wrap around the finger just under the cuticle. Take another piece of tape and wrap from one side of the nail all the way around to the other side. Taping will make cleanup much easier.
Place a few drops of polish onto your paper plate and dip one end of the straw into the polish . With your nail on the plate, place the straw about 2-3 inches from your nail and use a quick breath to blow out the polish.
Repeat step 3 with your second polish color.
Once you’re done splattering polish, remove the tape. Dip the Q-tip into the nail polish remover and use it to clean up the excess polish. Finish with a good top coat.

How To Do The Stippling Gradient Nails

The Stippling Gradient Nails poted on quitepolished.tumblr

How to :

First you need to paint your nails with which ever color you like.
Then, using a tiny dotting tool (or a needle, possibly a toothpick, or a #18/0 spotter brush) make a bunch of dots near the tip of your nail, so many that barely any of the base color shows through. You can use nail polish for this, but I chose to use acrylic paint.
After that keep working in sections, using less and less dots and making the sections ever so slightly bigger until you reach your cuticle. If you have long nails you could probably stop before the cuticle, or you could just make the sections bigger. I like to do four sections, but you could do more or less depending on how gradual you want the gradient.

1950s Makeup step-by-step tutorial

1950s Makeup posted on theglitterguide

How To :

Matte skin was a must in the ’50s. Start by applying a matte foundation (I use Korres Wild Rose Foundation). Use a powder if you prefer. Next, apply under-eye concealer.
Define your eyebrows. Fill them in with a pencil, focusing on the arch. If you’re blonde, the pencil should be a few shades darker then your hair. If you’re a brunette, it should be a few shades lighter.
Using liquid liner, create a winged eye that points out toward the end of your eyebrow. If you need more help, check out my tutorial here.
Sweep a light brown shadow over your eyelids, then apply a darker brown shadow to the creases and outer lower lash lines. Blend until it looks seamless.
Apply lots of black mascara.
Place a few individual fake lashes on the outer corners of your eyes using tweezers. This highlights the winged eye and makes for a more glamorous look.
Line your lips with a nude or red pencil. Next, apply your favorite red lipstick.
Apply a rosy-hued blush to the apples of your cheeks.

How to style a 60s hairdos that’s still modern enough for everyday

1960s Hair Tutorial - theglitterguide

How to :

Start out by sectioning off the top of your hair and clipping it to the top of your head, out of the way. I have bangs which is an easy marker of where to begin, but if you don’t have them, start just before the middle of your head.
Wave the unclipped hair by wrapping the hair around a curling iron, keeping the clamp open and holding the ends out with your hand . If you need help with this check out my tutorial here.
Take the sectioned off hair out of the clip and start teasing until it is big and poufy.
Flip it over and comb the top layer back so it looks smooth. At this point you should have a nice little bouffant going.
Starting about an inch above your ears take both hands and pull back the hair. Secure with two bobby pins by making an x shape.
Finish by waving any little bits of hair you missed and setting with hair spray .

The Three twisted buns hair style

Three twisted buns - joannagoddard

How To :

This style is so easy, it's laughable. Day-old hair is best (which is true for most hairstyles, since it's easier to work with hair that has a little dirt in it).
Divide your hair into three equal parts and quickly spray each section with a little hairspray to help give it hold. Let the hairspray set for a couple seconds, and then lightly comb it out.
Take the section on your right side, and twist your hair all the way down to the end. You want to twist counter-clockwise, toward your face. Wrap the right section in on itself, just like you're making a little bun. Let some of the hair stick out, it's ok (you don't want them to look like Princess Leia buns).
Pin the right bun in place. I like to use these mini bobby pins, since they're easier to hide and they're coated in rubber so they hold your hair better.
Next, twist the middle section clockwise and pin. Then twist the left section clockwise and pin.
Spray the three buns with a little more hairspray, and you're done!
