2) Backward braided bun

Lynette has an amazing pinterest board (hairpictorial) and made this Updo for her best friend!
Giving a few simple directions for her tutorial:

This is a backward braided bun. Thought you all gonna love it, Here a simple instruction :- 1) Head upside-down and section hair from the back of the neck into three half-inch pieces. 2) Start with French braid from the back of your neck. 3) Keep adding sections until the top of your head. 4) Tie off the braid and twist it into a bun. Done!

Favorite Smokey Eye Tutorials

One of my all time favorite beauty looks besides the Cat Eye is the Smokey Eye, a beautiful dark smokey eye with pale lips! It's like nothing in the world can beat a good black smudge! I personally think that when it comes to smokey eyes you just have to try what works best for you but I do have to admit I keep a few Tutorials that are my absolute favorites when it comes to Dark, Attractive and Dramatic Eyes!

Favorite Knotted and Twisted Updo Tutorials

Images via pinterest

I often wear my hair in easy on-the-go buns (as I like to call them) and I always like to try new things to add just that little something of extra to an otherwise very ordinary thing. The knotted and Twisted bun and updo's give that bit of posh and glam to an otherwise easy hair-day and it's so easy to do with help of some bobby-pins! So alas, my favorite tutorials for when it comes to twisting and turning ;)

1) Twisted Side Bun

You will need to translate the blog to read the full tutorial, but it is so worth it! I just love how the bun is low on the side!

The low bun is just gorgeous and would make such a beautiful Winter look with snuggly jumpers!

This updo is not as difficult as it seems, I just adore the ethereal twisting!
