Hair Tutorial Monday!

Linking up with Elise today to bring you the Holiday style for the week:

1.  Begin by separating the side sections of your hair for later.  
2.  Once the side sections are out of the way, put the bottom half in a low ponytail at your nape. 
3. Twist the hair around the ponytail to create a low bun at the base of your ponytail. 
4.  Secure with bobby pins.
5.  Start curling the side sections in fairly tight curls away from your face. I use (Hot Tools curling iron) & Wax Blast for the product before I curl!
6&7. Continue to curl until all the hair left out of the bun has curl. Using bobby pins take 1 inch sections and loosly pin back all the curls into your bun.
8.Gently pull some small hairs out around your face to soften the front and loosen the back to give it a messier feel! 

This low bun is one of our favorite holiday hair-dos! So simple and classy for fun holiday dinner parties with friends and family! Just add some dangling earings and maroon lips to top of this perfect holiday look!

Day Dreaming of Braids!

We LOVE braiding over here at Suggestions Salon. French, fishtail, dutch, twist, rope, waterfall, plain, double, ladder, plaited. We're obsessed. Braids are simple and make you look like you actually took a while to fix your hair. 

Enjoy these gorgeous braided hair styles done by our amazing stylists at Suggestions..

 

 

Braids are one of the hottest hair trends and seen on catwalks all over the world during fashion week. Your hair is your best accessory and should always be treated as such! 

{Here are a few things you should keep in mind when trying your own braids at home}

1. Brush your hair before you braid. Remove any knots before you start to make braiding smoother and easier.

2. If you have thick, coarse hair, use argan oil to smooth your hair to achieve neater braids.

3. If you have fine, soft hair, use products like dry shampoo or sea salt sprays to add more grip to your hair. 

4. Stretch out your braids. This is the most important step people! Pull gently at the sides of your braids to make them look wider and thicker!

Get excited for some braid tutorials coming to the blog soon featuring our beautiful client Ariel!

Gatsby Updo Tutorial

Today we are linking up with our stylist Elise to give you this lovely gastsby inspired updo! Its so simple and a perfect way to change up your everyday look!

Step 1- Start by separating your bangs (If you have them) from the rest of your hair. Then style them whichever way you like. (She used a curling iron)

Step 2- Tease the crown of your head a bit, this will add some volume.

Step 3- Then all you have to do is put the headband on top of your hair like a crown (while your hair is down) and then grab the rest of your hair at the back and tuck it into the headband. The messier the better!

Step 4-For the final touch, pull out your bangs or some loose pieces in the front. Now how simple was that! You have yourself a pretty updo in less than 3 minutes!

 Happy Friday and thanks for reading!  Many more hair tutorials coming to the blog soon! Comment and tell us tutorials you want to see!

Fall Hair Trends

 Haircut-"The Lob"

Long Bobs are the trending cut of this season! Many celebrities are cutting off their long locks for long bobs! We are loving this cut so much because you can find the perfect lob for any hair type and face shape. Below are a few of our favorite lob haircuts. Super fun and chic for a new fall look:)

Color: "Softened Ombre"

A must have color for this fall!!  This color is basically a deeper root color with soft highlights randomly placed a few inches away from the scalp. The highlights blend into a softened ombre for the final look. 

 Isn't it fun to change up your hair with the different seasons? I Sometimes having a fresh new cut and color can make all the difference! Try something fun this fall!
