Summer Nights/Floral Hair Tutorial

This tutorial is very girly and femmene, perfect way to combine braids and flowers. To be presice, the cute small wildflowers. It's simple, using the overlapping technique, and the basic braid, you can get this look in no time! Thanks again to Sincerely, Kinsey for sharing this amazing tutorial.

Preparation: You can curl your hair a day before, just so it will be easy to work with it. You'll need bobby pins and wildflowers (real or faux). Ok, start with your hair down. Begin with a small strand from each side of your head, close to your ear, warp it around to the opposite side and pin it (like in this tutorial). Repeat the process ntill you get the look from the fourth picture. After that, create a semi-loose braid with the best of your hair. Lastly, add flowers throughout your braid! 

Have a nice day friends!

Perfect Top Knot

There's nothing more atractive than a beautiful messy top knot. If you're running late on a date, or something, there's an easy technique to achieve. It's most known as the french twist. Or a knot, I'm not sure.Take a try on this amazing hair tutorial from A Cup Of Jo, that will blow you away. Would you ever wear your hair into a knot?

"1-2. Start putting your hair into a high ponytail, but don't pull the hair all the way through the rubber band. You want to end up with a little loop on top with some hair left over at the bottom. (By the way, I love doing a top knot on hair that isn't combed through, so I use my fingers to get my hair into place; that way, keeps some of the imperfect lumps and bumps. If you prefer a more polished look, you can comb your hair into a sleeker ponytail.) Tip: If your hair isn't quite long enough to get a top knot, you can also wear the knot lower down on your head.

3. Take the section of hair that's free from the rubber band and twist it.

4. Take the twist and wrap it around the base of the little loop of hair you created. If you have long hair, you may need to wrap it more than once. If you are wrapping it a few times, do it loosely…you don't want it too tight and rigid.

5-6. Use bobby pins to pin the bun in place. I like to secure my bun with four pins: one in the front, one in the back and one on either side. You may have to use more if you have thicker hair. I've also found that "U" shaped pins work better to hold thicker hair. These specific pins are great because they have a rubberized texture that helps grip hair."

How to Regrow Black Hair

Black hair can regrow healthy and strong with the proper care.

Relaxers, blow drying, curling irons, and hot combs are all common styling techniques and tools used on black hair. When done incorrectly or too often, these techniques can cause fragile black hair to suffer damage in the form of hair breakage and even hair loss. If you have lost hair, the good news is that you can regrow it and learn new hair care habits that can lessen the chance of damaging your hair in the future.

1. • 1
     Cut off your hair's damaged or split ends to prevent your hair from breaking off further up the shaft. Cut your hair so that it is even and neat. Because you will have to live with the look of your hair until it fully regrows, find a hairstyle that is suited to the length of your current hair and ask your hairdresser to recreate it for you. Trim your hair every 8 to 12 weeks after that to remove damaged ends.
   • 2
     Stop relaxing and go natural while you regrow your hair. Black hair in its natural state is strong and elastic and will have the opportunity to grow without the threat of being overly weak from harsh chemicals. If you must relax, wait a minimum of eight weeks between touch-ups or until you have 1 to 1 1/2 inches of new growth.
   • 3
     Shampoo once a week with the correct shampoo for your hair type to keep your hair and scalp clean for regrowth. Washing your hair daily strips your hair and scalp of its natural oils and results in both dry hair and a dry scalp. Stimulate your scalp by massaging it with your fingertips as you shampoo to encourage hair growth. Condition your hair after each shampoo and apply a deep conditioner at least once a month for strength.
   • 4
     Style your hair without using direct heat. Avoid the stress of curling irons and blow dryers by opting to wet set your hair with rollers, and dry your hair with a hooded hair dryer. Do a hair wrap if you have opted to continue to relax your hair. A hair wrap involves misting your hair with a setting lotion and wrapping it in a circular motion around the head, using your head as the roller. Sit under a hooded dryer until dry and comb down.
   • 5
     Tie your hair up at night using a silk scarf or a satin bonnet. Switch your pillow case to one that is satin covered. Avoid sleeping on cotton pillowcases that will grab, dry-out and further break the hair that you are trying to regrow.
   • 6
     Drink plenty of water on a daily basis to keep your body hydrated. Eat a well-balanced diet for the proper nutrition required for hair growth.
