Snippets Hairstyles

The ponytails should be created using "hair friendly" elastic bands. This style

really works best with "day old" hair with lots of body.To add drama to the look, create tiny crooked parts that zig zag at the front of the crown and on the sides. Be creative. Add as many little crooked parts as you like.This look can be dressed up with the addition of little butterfly clips or you can add jeweled Snippets Hair pins.This messy undone updo style can also be worn plain with just little pieces of hair splayed out in all directions. To give the hair the proper stiffness a good styling grease like Edwin Paul's Uncle Bubby for giving the tails of the hair stiffness.The "Undone" Bun Updo works best on hair that is shoulder length or longer. It will be harder to achieve the "Undone" Bun with much shorter hair. Not only are updos fairly easy to create, they can be everything from practical to dressy.

Use any good styling product with a lot of weight and hold such as Aveda's Confixer, or Aveda's Flax Seed/Aloe Strong Hold Spray-Onstyling gel.
If you are creating the updoon dry hair, first dampen your hair slightly , apply the Confixer, orFlax Seed/Aloe spray and then repeat the rest of the steps.
Applythe Confixer by rubbing about a dime size dollop in your palms of yourhands and then distribute through your hair. Apply the Flax Seed byspraying the gel lightly through your entire hair surface.
Pullyour hair into a firm, but not overly tight, ponytail at the crown andsecure with a "hair friendly" elastic band. Do not use rubber bands orany bands that will tear the hair when you remove the band.

Note:it is best not to pull the hair too tightly into the ponytail. If theponytail is too tight you may experience a slight headache. Long termwearing of tight ponytails can actually encourage hair loss in somecircumstances.

Divide your ponytail into three or more equal ponytail sections. If you prefer you can bypass the single ponytail and create several separate ponytails instead.
Twist each section of your hair corkscrew style and then bring it back in towards the elastic band. Bobby-pin (lightly) the twisted sectionto the base of the ponytail. When you are pinning, leave about 3 inches of the ends sticking straight up. Make sure you use "hair friendly" bobby pins that will not have scratchy or sharp ends.
Lightly fingerpick or fluff out the individual hair bits with a hair friendly pick or wide toothed comb and then spray the whole head with any strong holding hair spray like Aveda's Firmata. To give the ends even more spikiness, apply Aveda's Control Stick to the very ends. You can also use the Control Stick to smooth any loose ends that escape from the ponytails.
If you have bangs, either gel them back or lightly spike them up. You can jazz the bun up by add butterfly clips or jeweled hair pins.This style also looks great with the new bra or illusion headbands.
