My face this week, I'm going to try to style my hair everyday. I usually wear my hair down, then I'll put it halfway up then I'll put it all the way up, and those are my three sort of basic hair styles. When it's down it can be really big and I kind of get self-conscious about it. When I put it up it just kind of looks like I scoured the internet, I found some tutorials for hair types that are close to mine. I'M gon na try them out. I'M gon na see what people at work think and I feel like this could be a whole new avenue of creative expression. Who knows the first day I think I'm gon na do space buns. Just because a is something that I have at least attempted before. There'S no tutorial it's just making two little bottoms on your head, so I'm gon na ease into it with that. If you don't get a part, try and do in the middle so hard to part like the straight part, the tough part for me is making sure they have the equal amounts of carrying them and also that they're at the same point. Okay, this one is way further, but I feel like that's just the best. That'S gon na happen. I guess I'll put some maker spray on it. That'S what we go to bring right in my face. I guess my biggest fear is that these will come loose and I'll just end up looking like an understudy from cast the musical. What do you think about my space bug? They do match you you're a very galactic person, so these buns are still moving up. One problem that I have encounter is that my head seems to itch just like right directly under them. It'S a pencil. I don't want to mess it up. The other thing about my hairstyle, it's good. It'S cool what you say this is cute. I like it. It'S really fun, I guess yeah I've never seen you do anything. This is what I would do. I, in fact I just want you to picture your frame with my face in it: okay, I'll Photoshop - that for the video it's the end of hair day, one buns are there, they definitely came out a little bit. I definitely do feel like the hairstyle. Is me and something that I would probably do again tomorrow? I am going to yoga in the morning the time between that and going to work is very short, so it's gon na be a big challenge for me to be able to do my hair after yoga and to do like a style, it's gon na be a Tight squeeze, it's stuck it's tied in a knot. I just got home from yoga, and normally it doesn't make me that sweaty, but this time it did so. I have to take a shower before I go to work. The downside of that is that my hair will not be dry enough to style, so I guess I'm going to style it. Maybe when I get to work today, I'm gon na try a triple bun. It'S mostly taking place at the back of my head. So I'm not sure how I'm supposed to really see it. This kind of tends to get really frizzy when it's pulled back. So there's not a lot of hair left. To be honest, there's not a lot of hair left. I don't know if it's gon na be enough for buns, so she does offer a thing that says: if there you don't have enough hair to do two buns, so I'm gon na do two buns, oh god, my hair is not long enough. So yesterday was a bit of a fail on the hairstyling front. This is what my hair looks like currently, I'd like it to look slightly better than this we're gon na try an updo situation. A piece from here twist actually feels pretty secure. Okay, that it looks like she does it. On the other side, it doesn't look as pretty as hers, but it's not terrible from the front. It'S business, yes and then in the back. It'S just like whoa. If that's like, it seems like it took a lot of effort to do that. Is he here? She is somebody who you support a lot of curly hairstyles. Do i yeah, I know, like my sporting of I mean illusion right now. That'S great yeah I'll show video. You bumping a little one right now. I'Ve been rocking this since high school. It looks really really beautiful from the back. I want to try it. I don't do this one. I do like two buttons hair down like momma, but I like this a lot. It feels like you could wear this to an event, so I don't know if you can see but yeah, it's just all kind of coming out and I have to keep taking out the bobby pins and putting them back in and I just don't really want to Be doing that every 30 minutes, or so I kind of look like a princess who had a wild night. Maybe I had one too many champagnes and her hair comes. Undone does not seem practical, it's completely undone in the back like there's little pieces hanging off, and I just can't you know maintain hair like that. For you know a special event. I think it's a good option. It'S the morning time for another hairstyle. Today, I'm going to be trying braid it up. It looks like it's sort of two braids one on each side meeting in a vine, oh there's a bobby pin in my hair from yesterday. I have braided before at least so. I feel confident in that respect. I know exactly what I'm doing and my looks a hundred percent like the girl. What do you think about my hairstyle today? Oh yeah, it's cool you've, naturally curly hair, so kind of just like you didn't even notice them yeah. Hmm, I see human. So, what's good love it chic romantic braids. Does the shooting y'all? Does this feel different for you uh? This one definitely makes me feel like a schoolmarm. What I didn't even like, I feel like of this so yeah yeah. I didn't notice like not in a bad way. I thought you just did your hair, I'm like how do they look those it look good on your brain. I think it's really. It'S a surprise braid, because when I look at you straight on, you can't tell it's. Braid, but as soon as you know, you give me a little movement, it's like a surprise braid, which is always the best types of braid. So I like it this day, is almost over honestly and I have to say this is pretty decent. It'S holding it together. I definitely have like a halo of frizz going on, but that's just to be expected. It'S a very hot day. There'S only bobby pins really and like one elastic and it is holding very it is cinched. I like it. I like the braid to birds, that's cool! It'S giving me very much Princess Leia and Return of the Jedi [ Applause ] yeah. It was 90 degrees today and having my hair kind of all tied up in these braids was really great. Just taking out my bun in the back, my elastics broke it's another day which team eat it's another day, which means it's time for another hairstyle. I truly am growing tired of this. I do not want to do it anymore, that I'm very unhappy okay, so this one is super simple, but sometimes simple is better and it seems like I'm not capable of doing anything difficult. So this is a French twist half French twist and then taking an elastic and making like a little she's got this two sides. Oh my hair is not a lie enough for this either. Oh god, this is the worst day. Wi-Fi I'm doing this and then I guess we did the same. It'S not totally clear, what's happening in these pictures I mean it shows very making ponytails. I don't know where they're going it just sucks. Cuz like I can't do it. It looks bad. I have to go to work, there's no instructions. It'S just like now put pins the places we all obviously don't put them. No wonder some just don't know where to put the pins they're just got like random. Luckily, with curly hair, you know it just kind of looks the same. What no matter, what you do, especially when it's up so what I'm beginning to learn, I think, is that this is something that only should be attempted by professionals and not by me. It appears. I have a stray a little stray hair here. You don't want to say still. You know what cursed me that I probably could have gone like training from professional or something for this video, but that's not obviously not something that everybody has access to. So I opted not to am i regretting that decision. I wasn't paying that's the way you like to that looks tough. Not like you look glamorous Wow. We give her a Roman goddess hairstyle today, okay from the front you're, just like oh, like this looks like some messy bun or like messy updo. But then, once you turn around look at these clasps, like you can like see all of your different highlights. It'S the end of the day. This is definitely my least favorite. I feel like I look like a mess from the front people said they liked it, though it's definitely one where I've unprompted people complimented me on this hairstyle, which is very strange to me, because I feel so uncomfortable in it. One size does not fit all in terms of tutorials. Everybody'S hair is different. Everybody'S haircuts, different, there's, no way everything is gon na work, for you really what's worked. Best is just like modifying pre-existing styles to kind of suit. What I have definitely my favorite has been the space buns. I think I'm definitely gon na revisit that one. It'S a her style that felt very me. It was really easy to do. Can'T do a hairstyle if it's not working for you, don't feel bad cuz. I don't meet you men, but I kinda thought it would be good at this and I'm not gon na

venloben: Sara: So, what do you guys think of my hair? Guy: Its pretty cute. Shane: *_What’d you say?_*

Mana sama: "Pretty cute" Shane : "WHAT'D YOU SAY" OMG they're so cute

Emily Dziennik: I respect this so much because you not only have very _curly_ hair, but you also have _short_ hair. Good job man.

LivLyfe: People don't think having curly hair is difficult. It took me 15 years to learn how to at least control it, and I'm still learning. Hoping to teach people like me how to style, love, and appreciate your beautiful curls!

LegendOfZeldaTP1: OMG Shane as a defensive boyfriend, so cute xD

Belinda Lopez: “WHAT’D YOU SAY?” W H E E Z E

eevee: "why didnt she just brush her hair" oh no honey, you shouldnt be on this video

theartisticbum: Its so hard havingg curly hair but not knowing what to really do with it.

rei: sara’s space buns are... _out of this world._

Paige R. Hackett: It's so funny when I see videos of Sara complaining about her hair, and how she's self-conscious about it, when I would KILL for her hair, I think it's so cute, it's so fun, it looks like it would be super fun to try and style (I mean yes, difficult for sure, but look how much she rocked these hairstyles with as little experience she has with styling hair!) It's literally like, hair goals for me.

kozyken: this channel basically turn into a vlog channel for popular buzzfeed people..

Supashya RC: Pro tip:You should get help from Curly

America Padilla: The girl @ 7:14 is soooo sweet. Her compliment was so genuine

r tucker: i love shane and sara together they're adorable

christina tylee: SHANE GETTING DEFENSIVE IS THE CUTEST THING

Mariel Amodia: Shane’s “what did you say” made my heart go all gooey

Chey C: This video is great because there are a lot of people with curly hair who struggle with hairstyles so this will be good!

debbie v: the girl talking about the surprise braid seems so sweet omg

Madrenna Griffith: I like that the 1st girl day one said "you're an intergalactic person" with the straightest face I ever seen. I cracked up so hard

Bublex: Aww Shane being protective over her ☺️

alanaisalive: When I had hair it was as curly as that and I got frustrated and just kept it in a ponytail all the time. Then when I got alopecia in the front of my head, i gave up and shaved my head. But I sometimes miss it. Anyway, Sara is too cute and I'm not sure that is legal.

Gretchen Langholz: Anyone else kinda sad that she didn’t photoshop Zack’s face?

Inés G. Gao: Yes it does! I think your bun (day 3) looks nicer than the one in the picture. It´s really pretty. ^^

Joanna Sunderland: I love your natural hair, and the cut really suits you. When you tie it back it hides how beautiful it is!

Monica Fontaine: Love this, helpful seeing as there aren't a lot of options out there for SHORT curly hair

Sarah Luisa: I have a quick tip for anyone with curly hair like me, don't use those types of hair ties, they pull out hair! Instead, use scrunchies or elastic hair ties!! I hope I helped you!!!

julia thornton: i thought to space buns were so cute! also i loved the drawings! really added to the video!

T Graham: Thank you for this! I can't wait to try these cute styles! I've just let it flow curly natural but I need to try something fun and new!

Ammy Tris: I always pay attention to how the coworkers react if they have to give their honest opinion to see if they’re like really meaning it ,and some are so awkward lol that’s a reason I wouldn’t wanna work at buzzfeed , that’d mean I HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE

tae bae: “I’m not photoshopping that.”

Megan Halloran: I love this!!! I have a similar texture but it goes to the end of my ribs so styling is a little different but I always do down, half up half down, up, or in a braid too. I totally loved the space buns and think I'm going to do my hair like that tomorrow <3

Erica Nicole: Love this. It is so hard to style textured hair and growing up magazines always showed "curly hair" as straight hair with curling ironed waves in it. more curly/textured content all day plsnty

Emma Lowe: Love this video. Curly hair is SO much work and if you have the time to learn what to do with it that’s great. But trying new things is always fun..and frustrating lol I straightened my hair for SO long but the past year or 2 I’ve stopped completely. So seeing these curly hair videos with someone as inexperienced as myself makes my heart happy.

FeasibleComa73: LOVE this video, tried spacebuns immediately :P Can Izzy do a tutorial for her hairstyle in this video? She’s killin it!

thecharlestoncake: 2:10 *PROTECTIVE BF INTENSIFIES*

Samantha Godard: You might want to find some stronger bobby pins and make sure you’re putting them in right: the bumpy side should be against your scalp. Also, for a stronger hold, you should criss cross your bobby pins over each other.

misslaura317: I have always loooooved your curly hair! Thanks for this! As a fellow curly haired girl I appreciate the ideas!

lalala girl: Them: Im not photoshopping that Me: WHATD YOU SAY?! Shane as a boyfriend is so cuuuute

ketchup016: Suddenly developing curly hair (it was a puberty thing) is the reason I wore a ponytail literally every. single. day. of tenth grade. On the LAST DAY my friend convinced me to wear it down and blow dry with a diffuser and I was like "ohhhhhhh".

Danielle Rocha: I relate to everything you went through in this video! Can we PLEASE get a tutorial of curly hairstyles from your friend with the clear glasses??

Dominika: I'm really satisfied with this video, because i have short and curly hair too, and it's really difficult to style them so it doesn't look pretty much the same as always. Thank you for that, definetly gonna try these hairstyles later!

Linehp _: I love her hair so much. Curly hair is incredibly beautiful!

Liz: Aww Shane!

Jen Beck: You and your hair are stunningly beautiful! Every style, including your own, look beautiful! But I have to say that your hair down, with all of its curls, is amazing!

Arc1ight: I spent time trying new hair stuff and you did really well! A couple of tips. The twist and pin. Firstly yours looked better than the photo. Secondly a couple of tips, it it's coming out more pins and hairspray and your golden! Also the double braid, it you plait it backwards then halfway and pull them out to look bigger it'll look more prominent. Love the vid

The Hamster Army!: If you have hair or maybe you don't, but don't worry about it because everything's a style :D

Doctor N: Just so you know Sarah , I LOVE YOUR HAIR !! It’s beautiful with all hair style

Kathleen McNutt: "Oh! There's a bobby pin in my hair from yesterday!" -Every curly girl every

Aster Ghebremeskel: You did a great job on all of these hairstyles,especially the third one wow i love it!!! :D

Annie I.: Shane always tries to be so sweetly encouraging on her experimental videos and I just love it!

Jen Doninger: This was like watching my life! Lost bobby pin in hair and found it the next day - check. Hair tie broken by end of the day - check. Hair tie hopelessly tangled in curls and has to be cut out - check. Yep, curly hair is soooo much fun!!!

helloharlow: I love watching her videos, she has a freshness to her approach and she shows more of the process

sabilopod: thank you soooo much for this! I've got similar curly and short hair but just perhaps less thick and I can never find tutorials - I've run out of ideas! so yeah thanks for bringing some fresh content for us curly gals

Jin Juicee: omgg Shane when that dude said “it’s cute” so protective i need a mans like this :((

Raven Willis: I admire how much you guys enjoy your job, such a wonderful thing to see.

Lauren Winders: I’m a simple girl, i see Sara, I click

The-Moss-Agenda: As someone with curly hair this gave me so many ideas. I am so going to try out the space buns

Krysteen: Aww, I loved this video! Quick tip, though, from one curly girl to another--get your hair wet before you do the styling. Even just damp, it helps braids stay smoother and parting is WAY easier if your hair is a little wet before you try to style. I cannot style my hair dry lol. Good job!

day: "What'd you say?!" Me too Shane

Becca Viljoen: Oh my gosh Sara! Please don't ever get self-conscious of your hair when its down! I think you have such gorgeous hair

Video Diaries: Curly hair community represent! I was literally searching for hairstyles law week and I couldn't find anything that would fit my hair. Hopefully I can try some of these and make it work

Sonni Rivera: FINALLY!!! Someone who has a similar hair type and style!! And the same struggles. I'm so glad for this video ❤

Sara Gilchrist: Yesss! Ive always wanted to play with your GORGEOUS CURLS

Ashley L: Thank you, i always wanted to see if these hairstyles would actually work. Loved the video!!

Abahwhale: we have the same exact hair, for like a entire year i spent 2 hours straightening and styling my hair because of how self conscious i was. I regret it deeply not a lot of people have our hair and i think it’s beautiful and unique

annie erickson: Love this video and I love how her hair is already curly so she doesn’t have to curl her hair

Jessica S: I really love this video cuz everyone always says woooow I wish I had your curly hair!! I would do soooo much with it. LIESSSSSS!! Nothing feels “put together” cuz the curls want to go everywhereeeeeee thank you for showing the struggle of wanting to switch it up

Shalom Neeya: When she goes "Oh there's a bobby pin in my hair from yesterday" I felt that I've been there

Madaline Keil: I love her curly hair and the cartoonish vibe it gives off! The styles are cute!!

Chelsy Lynn: Having curly hair you should use the sport hair ties. They don't have elastic like your used to so they never break EVER! They are soft and nice. I've been using them and they don't damage my hair. They are goodie athletquie sweat stretch. I've been using these for ever and I only replace them because they get too loose.

Brittney: I love that at no point during this week she thought "huh, maybe if I wet my hair it would dry in this style"

Marjolein: wow everything looked soo good on you! Whenever I try braids like that 9/10 times I fail haha xD

Aileen Garcia: Sarah boyfriend was like “ what’d you say “ lol cracked me up

Emilie Bourdet: I have challenged myself to style my hair with bobbypins every morning the whole winter because I had never used them before and after a month I really enjoyed myself to create new styles in 10 minutes. Training is the key ;)

Tiny smalls: During this whole video, all I could think of was how awesome her eyebrows are.

Sam Oyler: I liked this a lot! I have long curly hair and I still struggle with what to do with it. Sometimes it is an odd internal battle. My favorite go to is from Sarah Angius where you make a low pontytail, loop it through slightly to make a loose bun and then pin the bun up against your head. One tip: if your hair gets frizzy when you try to manipulate it, coat your fingers in some sort of product (I prefer argan oil) as you go. It helps prevent breakage, which causes frizz.

Saylee Kir: The braids one hairstyle looks so awesome

asvplexis: this was so helpful I haven't found any cute styles for my curly hair for going out and events

Aparna Y: Honey, we have the same exact hair, length, curl, everything.  4:03 is me EVERYDAY

Ruth Boeder: A tip I learned from my grandma, who was a beautician in the 50s-60s: To help keep bobby pins from falling out, after you place your first 1, add a second that crosses it so they form an X (well it's not always a perfect X if you need the second one a little closer to an end than the middle). But it also looked like you were using flat ones instead of ones with ridges and I haven't been able to get the flat kind to stay in my hair *ever* so I dunno if it'd work with them. There's also that little flip-and-push thing that stylists do. That twisty style was cute and I think you could make it work if you got the tools working with you not against you. Keep experimenting! Also kudos to you for being willing to step out of the house right away! I'm too chicken and always have to practice a bunch before being in public lol

Michele Clarke: OMG I love this video! I totally can relate. Braids just disappear in curly hair esp in brown hair.

Kelsey: I love Day 1 and Day 4! I need to try some of these, I have hair similar to yours, mines just a bit thinner and longer.

Babyv010: I wish I could do space buns but they make me look 12 lmao

Aileen V: I always thought her was awesome Looks even cooler in styles

Nymphaea: You did a great job! I would recommend looking up the 'curly girl method' to find some products and maintenance methods to help you cut down frizz and keep your curls poppin. Happy curls = a good hair day! Love, another curly girl.

Princess Star: Recently I've been loving to style my curly hair.after cutting it short,I'm starting to get bored so I do vintage victory rolls and little ponytails on the sides and stuff.

Fitness-MakeUp or Bust: For the day 3 look, I found it actually works better with roller pins or the harder Sally's beauty bobby pins. It also helps if you support some of the more structural twists with another bobby pin. Disclaimer: my hair is a lot longer and I have 2a/3c mixed curls.

Nezzy T: I think having a hairdresser guide you through simple style you did yourself would have been more helpful for you to successfully execute as well as fellow curly haired viewers to learn.

Ольга Лунькова: I just love Sara and everything connected to her. Really appreciate this lady

Carolyn Treadwell: I think your hair always looks best first thing before you do anything to it. In fact, when you went to get it straightened and she pined sections up before putting the tongs through I thought that looked really elegant and really suited you.

Maria Lloyd: I wish sims 4 had a hairstyle option like hers bc it’s so cute

Keri xo: I would love to see this vs. if she did have a professional show her how to do it.

TheLongView: I think your regular styles are super cute as well, but the new ones you tried look just as good. It's always nice having extra styles to fall back on. I keep a tiny bag of clear elastics in my go-to bag just in case my elastic breaks on the go as well. :)

Nicolle M: Anyone else w curly hair, i do that "shower, put product in, wrap hair in tshirt and sleep" works actual wonders for me. I think its called hair plopping. Its super handy since i dont have time to shower before work.

alisa: Sara, the morning of day 3 when you said you would like your hair to be different, THAT IS MY DREAM HAIRSTYLE! seriously, I love your hair, it's so big and curly and beautiful! ❤

Alicia B: Liked this! I have naturally curly hair too, and always struggle with how to style it. I try and wear it down but, it ends up bugging me towards the end of the day and I usually just put it in a bun. Lol

Mao: the elastic youre using and in those pictures def look like they shouldnt be in curly hair nooo

Sarah: But the real question is What Is her hair routine bc girl it looks nice

emy verde: The braids were cute! Some tips: use products, gel is your friends for the frizz and fly aways! Use a toothbrush for brushing down your edges and frizzy sides! Also crosshatch the bobby pins so they stay in place better :)

Hubert Cumberdale: She has the most beautiful curly hair ever. I almost envy her ;-;
