Instead of bobby pins, I use a smaller jaw clip, clipped right at the base on the ponytail holder, like underneath the ponytail.. works like a charm! no pain! lol

I know some days I would be running late for work and my hair would still be wet, so I would just throw it in a ponytail, as I would dry I would just twist the whole ponytail. Once it was dry I could pull the hair apart and it would give really nice big curls. So I def think it being more wet and drying it would do tons more for her hair

I'm pretty sure it depends mostly on your hair texture and how well it holds a curl. I sometimes do this on dry hair and it works. For best results though, I would definitely recommend sleeping with your hair in twists so you can let it air dry overnight.

i think the beachy waves one was impacted by your thick gorgeous hair! i know that thick hair doesn't really like to be styled so it might be harder to do the beachy wave method!

Ellie, your fail or holy grail series is probably my favorite videos to watch on youtube!! I always look forward to these because they are creative and entertaining :)

as your hair is quite thick I would suggest perhaps 4 sections instead of just 2. Then once dried go over with a straightening iron. would love to see the result if you try that.

you have thick hair, so im guessing the person that did the beach waves had thin hair so only needed to do the 2 sections where you would be better sectioning it up in 4 parts. Mine is the same way

Soooo what do you do if you have thick hair😂

HOW IS YOUR PONY TAIL SO PERFECT. Whenever I pull mines back into a ponytail, there are COUNTLESS baby hairs all over my face.

Nothing against you or your videos - but WHY the HELL did youtube recommend this to me??? I am a 35 year old. semi balding, man who mainly watch gaming and music videos on youtube .... Apparently - it recommended that i watch you - so i did... 15 min of me watching you do random stuff to your hair... because KZread told me to... Note to self: Stop watching ANYTHING youtube recommends. Oh and a message to you from my wife. When you do the hairtwisting thing, first treat your hair with something like "Gosh Fibre'holic cream", and then let it dry completely, then put in any sculpting gel (even works with the stuff that's like 1$ a bottle) - use a lot of it while you keep combing the area you want twisted - then twist it (a little tighter than you did) , use the hairdryer - done - It'll stick way more to the shape and the "conditioner" (not actually a conditioner but ... yeah) will keep your hair from being damaged and ruined... aannndddd now i need to go get a screwdriver and fix something! Or hammer something ... yes ... a hammer ... /makes gorilla sounds and scuttles off!

I would definitely try it with smaller sections and closer to the scalp. I think that would give the look you're looking for. The ends are gorgeous!

try the beach wave technique again with 4 sections instead of two with your thick hair.

This video was really interesting. The ponytail was just a ponytail. The bun was really cute. The waves did absolutely nothing but maybe if you did smaller sections.

I laughed so hard when you were trying to do the top knot because that is literally me every time I try a new hairstyle!

For the ponytail, if you just pull the top section (like you were tightening it) that gives it a lot of volume, and pulls it higher on your head without any bobby pins!

Maybe you could do the beach wave style in sections instead of one thick twist to have more of an effect?

I love the messy bun! My hair reaches my bum and usually I have to use extra hair ties and multiple bobby pins. However, as I'm twisting both ways with teased hair this really helps it stay in! No need for additional hair ties or pins! So quick too! Thank you so much! x

since your hair is so thick try to twist n dry smaller sections at the time :)

I use a small spring hair clip under my ponytail. it gives it the lift plus spreads it out a little. love it!

I automatically like the video before it even starts... Your just so amazing I know the video will be great!! Much love!!

for the top knot hairstyle, you wrap one section in one direction first and then after you secure that section you wrap the other section in the opposite direction and secure it for the perfect messy top knot...

You should mix in a bit of water, and it works, but it isn't perfect and you should make sure you have nail polish remover or acetone too. Hope this helps!

I love all the hairstyles espiacially the messy bun!

The first statement of this video is how I feel EVERY DAY when I try to do my hair. My verdict on these is 1) Ouch for the stabbiness but 10/10 for result! 2) Took a minute to wrap up and I feel anyone with curly hair (like me) would be even more lost than you were! but 10/10 Again for result!! 3) I feel it would be better results on 3rd day hair, but it still gave a nice results..or since you have thick hair splitting it up in four sections! so 8/10ish All that really matters when you fix your hair though is how you feel. and how you think you look! P.S. I love your videos so much!! 😁

I haven't read the other comments at all, but as a hairdresser, I would suggest smaller sections because you seem to have a lot of hair. If u take more than just two separate sections and make sure u make it completely dry, that should give u more beachy waves....also, you could take small sections of dry hair, twist it, and use a flat iron as if you were straightening it, (but your not because your hair is in a twist) you would end up with waves as well. Good luck and I hope this helps! Maybe I'll try and make a video doing what I suggested and see how it turns out...great video!! I'm definitely subscribing!!! 😊

That lip color looks awesome on you!

I think for the top knot you don't have to tease I rand it would look good either way

@alexteneyck

8 жыл бұрын

In fact right now I am going to attempt the top knot 😳😁😬😬

Wouldn't it be just as fast to make two braids and blow dry them?

For the third one, I have thick and heavy hair as well. I do this all the time. I actually start with my hair wet out of the shower, and spray heat protectant on it. Then I dry it like normal for a couple of minutes. Maybe to where it's about 30% dry. Then I twist sections away from my face like you did and dry it like that. But I don't hold them completely still. I almost re-twist them as they are drying. Just to get the heat and tension better on the whole section and not just the ends. Once it's completely dry, I spray a little bit of the texturizing spray on it and then twist them again but this time into two buns. One on each side of my head. Similar to the Princess Leia buns. Then I let them sit for 5-10 minutes or so and then it's good to go. Maybe give it a spritz or two with hairspray. When you pull it apart into sections though, twist each section in the direction you want them to go in just to re-shape them. Voila!

i do the first hairstyle very often and my hair is pretty thick... and i only use one bobby pin and ive learn that longer pins work best and not putting the pin in the back but in the front downwards... like between my scalp and the hair tie... this trick works great to also keep ur buns up and so on...

WHY WOULD YOU SAY SCHOOL SEASON AS SOON AS I HEARD THAT I WANTED TO CRY.... like if you cry everytime

Aww when I get a pony tail I look like a boy

With the beach waves: I do not use the texture spray or damped my hair but to get good beach waves, section your hair, twist and try a flat iron. It works for me and is a go to easy. You might have to twist the hair and go over a couple times with the flat iron.

The bobby pin ponytail does work! I have just about the same length and thickness of hair as she does, you just have to position it a bit better and it feels like nothing is there. I use it every time I put my hair up!

the messy bun!! i 💘 this!! i have shorter hair and tried this and it was amazing!!! and i didnt need to tease my ends because my hair is layered. awsome style hack!!!

so I am loving your videos. the messy bun was really cute. and as for the beach waves I did not know that this was a pin, I actually do that technique all the time, so I would like to just add in here that the more often you do it the more curl you end up with. so it's like your training your hair to do it.

the messy bun!! i love this!! i have shorter hair and tried this and it was amazing!!! and i didnt need to tease my ends because my hair is layered. awsome style hack!!!

LOL,"Lost in my on hair"-me all the time

IM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES

Hi Ellie! I am new to your channel and I love it! I would love to see more of that beautiful sunset from your apartment window =) Big hugs from Miami!

I tried the 2nd hack, and I love it! I have been wearing it everyday! Thanks for showing us

The last one totally works! I like to take mostly dry hair and start twisting it starting from my scalp to the ends of my hair, and then I twist it into a bun. Do the same to the other side, and then let it sit for a bit. You can blow dry it to speed up the process, but I don't need to.

I think these were designed more for thin to thin-medium hair. Thank you for taking the plunge so I didn't have to be disappointed haha.

I love the second hairstyle. I do it overnight and it works so good. Do it over night

The beachy wave one, I let my hair dry in those twists after I towel dry. I've got long heavy hair (like yours) and it really does give the wave effect.

Elko your really pretty and honest! And that's why your probably my favorite you tuber, thank you for that💯👏💯👏

the second one came out real cute 👌🏻

I always do the last hack and I have hair similar to yours but shorter. This hack works best when you just get out the shower. I split my hair in half then add the texturizing cream/spray and I split each half into three smaller sections and twist. I prefer my hair to air dry because I feel it works better. Once it's dry i lightly toss my hair from underneath.

For the waves, try doing four twists instead of just two since your hair is so thick. I love your videos by the way! I was so excited to see another Fail or Holy Grail.

the messy bun!! i love this!! i have shorter hair and tried this and it was amazing!!! and i didnt need to tease my ends because my hair is layered.

For the beach waves, I actually use a flat iron and it works great for me and you can do damp or dry hair both has worked for me.😀

The beach wave thing seems to work better on layered hair. I do this but I leave them twisted with a clasp or something holding them together at the ends (like I'm making a fake beard lol) while I finish getting ready. Take the clip out and gently separate and it looks pretty good.

This was an awesome one to do!!! I loved the teased bun! I may add that to my running late arsenal !! Ps your apartment is looking on point!

The third one might work it you did a two strand twist with the section and the blow dried. Worth a shot!

this was a really cute video, and all of those styles do work with a few adjustments lol. Your hair is SUPER thick and gorgeous, these styles are for normal to thin hair. So with thick hair, it's a little more work. With the pony tail, put the bobby pins more towards the center of the base and only put one loop of the hair tie thru instead of the enire tie. For the top knot wrap each section individually then pin instead of both at the same time, maybe even use 3 or 4 sections. And then the beachy waves, start wrapping the hair from the bang area and add more hair as you go. I would also use 4 or 5 sections instead of just 2. For hair as thick as yours you may want to set and sleep in it, wrapped in a scarf. My hair is very thick and all of these ideas work great for me.

I do the beach wave thing every day for school and I do it when I get out of the shower, I dry it a little and put it over night, it gives me more waves and stays longer than a curler

Nice video, the high top knot bun definitely suits you xx

For the beach waves you get more of a wavy texture if you kinda flip and shake it out

My hair hates curl but I can curl it for a few hours with product and curling iron. For those beach waves I use Beyond the Zone Beach Head Surf. I get it from Sally Beauty. It is so simple, spray in your dry hair and scrunch, no heat needed. You can use it on wet hair and let it air dry. The only bad part is I have to wash my hair the next day because it makes it feel like I went swimming in the ocean. The waves stay all day for me, which is something awesome.

At the first part when you were looking for the right word to describe the ponytail and my little sister comes up and yells," On fleek! That's the word! FLEEK!"

For the beach wave one I often use my straightener. I twist my hair and then hold the straightener for 5 seconds. After that I let it sit and spray with hair spray. I rather have those waves then a curling iron. Basically I do the same thing as you did but with my straightener!

So happy. I missed these videos ! Love you Elle

I think for the beach waves you should had tried smaller sections, since your hair is quite thick and probably also heavy, the heat doesn't get to each and every strand of hair and the heaviness pulls down the few waves that you got.

i did try that messy bun and it came out awesome i skipped the teasing step because my hair is so thick and when its teased it just knots still worked though :) I am in love with the style its super easy and pretty :) Thank you !

For thicker hair use more sections for the beach waves, I use to do it all the time!

I tried the pony tail one, and instead of using regular sized Bobby pins, use mini ones! it worked the same but they weren't long enough to reach my scalp and stab me :)

for the hair pin hack.. I use a mini clip ( two for thick hair) hook them into the band and you can adjust them so they are not all stabby at all

OMG totally loved it! Looks like you had so much fun!!!

For the third trick, it depends on how thick your hair is. I have really fine hair and two sections works fine for me, for thicker hair you would probably need more sections. The tighter you make the twists per section the more wave/curl you will have. Also the blast of cold at the end does help to set it. I found shaking it out after a minute also helps. Hope that helps, total Holy Grail!

With the last one you could always do the hack and then put your hair a pony tail!! It would look great with the curled/beachy ends!! :)

for the last one, i will not use heat and instead twist them after they're at the damp stage and leave it twisted for an hour or so, while still redoing the twist over and over. i know it isn't a five minute thing at that point but if you start with your makeup and then use heat to speed it up towards the end it should keep better :) and some light hairspray helps too :)

I wonder if the hot iron waves would work better? Love the top knot !

With naturals curls, messy buns are literally the only thing you can get with buns 😁

The top knot cracked me up. Lost. In my own hair.

I do the beach wave thing after a shower and twist it up clip it to the top of my head and let it dry over night and I get great curls with no heat!!

Your hair is really thick for those waves, I like to separate the hair and twist it in sections.Twisting it in sections helps with the drying process and adds more of the beach wave look! I also add mouse,and hair spray since my hair is on the frizzy side.
