D.I.Y. Curls: How To Rag Roll Your Hair
I love the look of naturally curly hair! My sweet friend, Katie, told me about rag rolling. It's a quick and simple way to get natural looking curls without using a curling iron! I asked her to share her method here on A Beautiful Mess because I knew you'd be itching to learn like I was! Enjoy...
Head Scarf Tutorial
After many requests, I finally made a tutorial on how to tie a simple head scarf. It's really, really easy. I did this without looking in the mirror, so that should tell you how easy it is.
A Gripping Yarn
We are getting a tad concerned that we might require a restraining order from all places crafty the moment because we can’t get enough of making stuff right now and top of the make list is Yarn chandaliers. These objects of DIY lushness make us incredibly happy, they make house decor epicness, but not only that they are a perfect idea for centrepieces and party decoration. So, if you fancy getting your make on this weekend please check out this awesome tutorial on how to make these bad boys on Crafted Love. The photographic glory goes to: Sarah Yates
No Heat SJP BIG CURLS w/ Twisted Buns ...also known as Bantu Knots
If you follow me on Instagram you already know about this because I shared it there see photos below but the other night I slept on twisted buns to get these BIG CURLS just to switch it up a little which the husband LOVES. In fact he said “You know, you could do that MORE OFTEN if you wanted to”. Big curls are a BIG hit around here In 2009 I did a quick video demonstrating how I twist my hair into the little buns whilst singing to Lady Gaga – but I only did a photo tutorial of how to get the finished look. So the other morning before I left for the gallery I filmed it for you and hopefully answered all the questions I’ve gotten about this easy little tutorial. Enjoy…
Obsession : Ombre Hair (with DIY)
I'm currently seeing Ombre Hair everywhere on the web. The trend has not come to my country yet, so I've never seen it in person, but I really think I'm going to give it a try. Do you have Ombre hair, or are you going to try it, or do you hate this trend?
Hair Tutorial: Get Curly Hair Using an Old Pillowcase
If there's one thing I've gathered from my girlfriends when it comes to hair, it's that you always want what you don't have. This rule of thumb also generally applies to boob size too, but that's a post for another day. Being one who falls squarely in the category of naturally wavy hair (in the ugly, frizzy way), I've always lusted after big, bouncy, bodacious curls. Funnily enough, my husband also lusts after big, bouncy and bodacious, but we're not talking about curls (wokka wokka). Since I was little I've been obsessed with curls.
DIY Wrap Headphones
I got the idea to make these from the DIY wrap bracelets I made a little while ago. These headphones were all white before, and since I had the coloured string left over from the bracelet tutorial, I decided to try it! To start off, take the string and tie a knot with it around one of the wires.
Partial French Braid with Cascading Hair ~ Tutorialalso known as the "Waterfall Braid"
I’m not the originator of this hair style but I’ve gotten so many requests for it, I thought I’d give it a go for you. I don’t know what it’s called either so I haven’t researched it and/or found any other tutorials for it …thus, this is my version of it, and I’ve dubbed it the Partial French Braid w/ Cascading Hair. The photos I’ve seen online show the braid a little more straight across the back of the head and mine sort of braids at an angle, similar to my side/low french braid up-do. I’m sure this is 100% easier to do on someone else’s hair than your own but it goes pretty quickly once you get the hang of it …I mean, it’s my shortest hair video tutorial to date.

Do us a Chocolate and Marshmallow Favour!
We have seen another variation of this favour before, and we know, we know – the winter nights have yet to draw in; we are technically in sunshine and 99 flake land – but Hot chocolate ritualistically calls us to worship at its warm, comfort-in-a-cup feet. We are going to sound like masochists having just got over one of the worst winters in 30 odd years, but the idea of curling up with a big fat mug of the brown stuff, while enjoying the schadenfreude of bruised backsides and shattered egos – is our kind of heaven (You are more than welcome to copy and paste this line when we are cursing about it being winter!) We seem to have an addiction for filling up glass jars with goodies and junk – so we hope that you enjoy this fantabulous find and idea that we found via Blonde Design – make sure that you get yourself over there as you can download the tags. On top of that, you can see all the other gift ideas that they have – if you need glass jars of course then IKEA is your friend.
