Faux Hairstyles

Hey blog readers! Today, I will show you how to do Faux Haircuts to yourself! It'll look like you cut your hair, when really, you didn't. Perfect for Halloween, etc. which you can never be too prepared for. I knew what I would be this year, last year, and I know what I'll be next year, this year. 

Anyway, whatever you want to do with this hairstyle, let's get started! There are four different things you can do, so I'll start with this one.

It is  a pretty basic 'bob hairstyle' that is easy to do without committing to it! 

First, make sure your hair is parted on a side. After that, gather all of your hair and hold it in the back of your head, like you would do a low ponytail. Then, begin twisting it toward your part line. You want to twist all of the hair in the direction away from the heavy side of your hair.

When you get to the point where you can't twist with your hands behind you anymore, pull it over the shoulder on the same side of your heavy side of hair, and keep twisting in the same direction. Then, you are going to take the end of the twist and bobby pin/ clip it near the top of the ear until it feels secure. All you need to do now, is gently move the hair that originally went in to the twist over near the front of your face. It should feel very easy to do and should start doing it, itself, when you pin it up. That's all to the first one!

Here I just divided my hair in half and did the same thing on both sides

Now on to the Faux Bangs! If you thought the first one was easy, this one is a piece of cake! You don't even need pins, but I recommend some for extra security. All you need to do is section off a piece of hair from your part line (heavy side, of course!) to your ear. Pull that section as close to the part line as you can and twist it toward the light side of your head. Place the twist over the ear (on the heavy side), bobby pin it, then gently pull the hair down the twist! That is all!

One more faux hairstyle is for bangs. It's very easy. All you do is take a section of hair as if you were parting it ear to ear, except stop like an inch before you reach the ear on both sides. Finger-comb it forward and then fold the hair back and pin.

Lastly, I will share with you a different technique for a faux bob! Just flip your head upside down, take the ends of your hair, bobby pin the ends on the center/lower back of your head securely, and flip your head up! Now just comb some of your hair back, to cover up the clips.
