COMMENT WHAT LIFESTYLE VIDEOS YOU LIKE TO WATCH! :D
I am so excited to share this simple up-do with you guys. I get a lot of requests to do hair tutorials for short hair, and I am so happy to share this hairstyle that works on, long hair, medium length hair, and short hair (it’s actually easiest on short hair).
I have also had a lot of requests for more lifestyle videos, and I love that idea. I am moving within the next couple of months, and I find out today if I get the place I really want, so positive thoughts! If I get this new place I will have my own office, and more space, which means I will have more time to create videos. So please share with me what video’s you would like to see, and also what video’s you enjoy watching the most.

#hairtutorial #alexgaboury #updo #updos
Hey guys welcome back to my channel today, I want to share a cute. It'S a very, very simple, updo it'll work. If you have a long, hair, medium length, hair and it'll be especially easy. If you have shorter hair, it didn't notice that majority of my hair tutorials are braids, so I thought I would switch it up with something that's really elegant and simple to do. No matter your skill level, all you for this hair tutorial are two things. First you'll need about three to four of these clear, thin elastics and a handful of bobby pins. The more here you have the more pins you'll need. If you want more of a softer, elegant, look like mine, then I suggest curling your hair before hand, and I just noticed that I missed a big piece, so we're just gon na hang our that for this hairstyle we're gon na be creating it to Topsy tail. So just partner Erez, normal and then what we're going to do before we tired her back, is draw a line down from the back of your part behind your ears, and then you just want to keep these sections forward. So now we can create our first ponytail. Remember to leave those front pieces separate and just pull the remaining hair back and secure it tightly with an elastic right at the nape of your neck. I like to use my index finger and thumb just to create a hole right above the ponytail and once my index finger and thumb touch, I just flip my ponytail upwards and I carefully pull it through the hole to create the first Topsy tail. Then I incur my ponytail with my left hand and gently pull upwards on small sections of hair, just to create some more volume and give it a more tousle look. And then I repeat, the same steps on the sides of my Topsy tail as well. Once you're happy with that, grab those front sections and hold them at the back of your head and before we secure them. Just pull down any front pieces to help. Give a softer appearance to the look so now secure that ponytail above our previous Topsy tail and just like before flip the ponytail up and through the hole, and then I like to just. Do it one more time to help create more twists on the side. Then take the ponytail and pull it through the hole of our first Topsy tail. Don'T fast over the appearance of the back. Most of it will be covered once you create the bun. If you have longer hair, I suggest tying an elastic about a hands width down. The ponytail it will make creating a bun so much easier and then one more right at the ends of your hair, just to keep them all together. Okay, for the button hold the ends of the ponytail and begin rolling the hair around itself towards your head. Imagine rolling it around a roller and then try to tuck the top of the button in between our two Topsy tail. If no elastic is visible, just like mine, just tug on the sides of the bun, and it should slide down the hair and become hidden gently. Tug on the sides of the bun to ensure the back is covered, I think the less perfect, the bun, the better and once you're happy with the appearance, secure it with bobby pins. A about eight just pinning the underside of the bun to the back of my head above my ponytail fiddle around with it and if any pieces fall out, just pin them into place. So there you have you guys. That is how you achieve this really pretty updo. I told you guys that it would be simple to do. I feel so naked with my hair up and an obvious shoulder top of it. I think it looks beautiful if you liked this tutorial, don't forget to give it a thumbs up comment down below. Let me know what you guys thought and don't forget to share your recreations with me on Instagram yeah. That is all thank you guys. So much for watching and I'll talk to you. Next video, you
