Front Twist Hair Tutorial

Hey y'all!

Today I made my first video and it's how to do a front twist with your hair. It looks like a front braid or a front french braid, except it is much quicker and VERY easy!

I wear my hair like this all of the time because I am very hot natured and it keeps my hair out of my face. Let me know what you think! Please subscribe/follow my blog and subscribe to my YouTube channel, Morgan Beek.

The Curling Wand

A few of my favorite things...

Day 7: Sultra "The Bombshell" rod curling iron 1 inch

This is embarrassing to admit, but I don't even know how to properly use a "real" curling iron. So how do I curl my hair? If you personally know me, you would know that I hardly ever wear my hair down, and when I do I like to curl it. Not tight curls, but more like soft waves. About 3 years I made an investment that truly saved my life. Ok, well that is dramatic but it has provided me with ends on ends of great hair days. And, it's SO fast! It takes about 10 mins to curl my entire head. Don't believe me? Then try it for yourself!

I will later be posting a tutorial on how to curl with this "wand" to achieve the look I do on my own hair. The product I use is made by "Sultra" and the product is called "The Bombshell," even the name is adorable. I purchased mine online I think through the Sultra website. But, right now folica is having their Christmas sale and your entire purchase is 25% off, so that will save you lots of $$$, which makes me happy. The iron comes with a cute pink glove so you don't burn yourself. I have a scar that has almost completely faded on my neck from this bad boy and one that I did about a month ago that is still bright pink on the inside of my right wrist. So be caution! They always say beauty is pain, but please try your hardest to pay attention at all times when curling your hair. My accidents happened when I was in a rush and still half asleep. :)

Don't burn yourself and end up sad and in pain like I was in the top left photo! :)

6 days til CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Sock Bun Tutorial

A Few of MY Favorite Things...Day 1: The Sock Bun

Here is one of my absolute favorite things... The SOCK BUN! I am obsessed with this hairdo because it is so easy and looks so put together. I always get so many compliments when wearing this 'do. Once you get the motion down, your hair will be done in less than one minute. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself! My hair "donut" was purchased from Claire's for about $4 here. They have blonde, brunette, & black for all you dark-headed ladies.

Step 1: Put your hair in a pony tail. I did a high pony because it's easier to demonstrate and easier when you're first learning .
Step 2: Get out your donut (or sock with the to cut off)
Step 3: Slide the donut through your pony leaving about 2-3inches of hair poking out. I like to pull my pony out in front of me to start out with because my hair has layers & when I hold it straight up in the air, little hairs fall everywhere and that is no fun.
Step 4: The hair you have poking out, start fanning it out over your donut to cover it. You don't want your donut exposed!
Step 5: Now begin tucking the hair underneath the donut. This can be the tricky part so be patient. Practice makes perfect. But really, I promise!
Step 6: Put your thumbs at the bottom of your donut on each side where you just tucked your hairs and pull with your both index fingers on the top of the bun on each side "rolling" it down your hair. Each roll I reposition my fingers back to where they started to keep it nice and tight!
Step 7: Baby bun! Aw, isn't she cute?
Step 8: You're almost there!
Step 9: Viola! You can keep your hair smooth and sleek or play with it a little and pull the hair out a bit to add some volume.
