I'm genuinely someone who loves to do things to their hair.

I dont really like to leave it plain.

Even if I had it like this, I would probably have like something in it to make it more interesting.

I've just always been that kind of person and I think it's because when I wasn't doing

my hair straightening I had really curly hair that was really hard to deal with

so I had to learn a lot of different ways to keep it kind of out of my face.

I do get bored very quickly of the same styles so I change it up quite a lot!

Recently in particular, I've been quite inspired by Kpop hairstyles.

I find that they're usually so playful and fun and it's a really nice way to keep your hair

out of your face during the summer because no one wants their sticky hair on the back of their neck.

It's very frustrating.

So today I decided to show you a few hairstyles that I like to do

and in particular, the ones I've been doing more recently.

I think that they're quite cutesy and summery and "Kpopey" ...

Not a word (lol)

So I really hope that you'll find this video helpful!

Especially if you're someone like me who loves to do different things to their hair!

But, before we get started, I would very much like to thank Amino for sponsoring this ...

I would very much like to thank Amino for sponsoring this video.

If you have not yet heard of Amino, it is basically this app that is designed

to help you find different communities!

What I mean by communities is, for example, if you're someone who's really into

Japanese fashion then you can find people who are really interested into Japanese Fashion and you guys

can post together and talk about the things you like together.

And then, for example, if you're someone who is really into Kpop, then you can really easily find

other communities of people who are also interested in Kpop!

You can post videos and blog posts and share your favorite things.

It's a really great place to meet new people and obsess over the things you like!

In fact, I actually have my own little Amino so if you're interested I'm gonna link it down below for you.

On my Amino I'm going to be posting a little hair tutorial on how to do my Sailor Moon inspired hairstyle

so if you wanna watch that, then I'm gonna link my Amino down below!

Just check it out on there and hopefully you'll be able to find some communities that you can get involved with!

All that aside, let's get on with the video!

Ok, first thing's first

the fringe

So I decided to leave this hair tutorial right before my haircut

while my fringe is quite long just because this is a Kpop inspired hair tutorial

and I find that doing Kpop inspired fringes and stuff is a lot more easy when your fringe is a bit longer

because usually I like to have it quite short and chopy.

I'm just gonna go ahead and tie the rest of my hair back so that it doesn't get in the way.

As you can see here, my fringe is quite long

and in my face

so what we need to do is

we need to grab our straighteners and all we need to do is

take our fringe into the straighteners

and

curl the straighteners in towards your face as we pull

and as you can see,

it kind of becomes rounder and fluffier.

It's a lot easier to work with like this because you can kind of do a lot of different things with it.

For example

If you just part it in the middle, and turn it towards itself

You've got the heart fringe!

Which I find is one of my favorite styles.

To keep it this way, I suggest using a lot of hairspray and, in particular,

putting the hairspray in between your fingertips and pinching the middle of the heart

but yeah. A lot of people often ask me how to do this fringe and as you can see, its super easy!

Literally all I did was; I curled my fringe

and then

turned it

in like this.

but yeah. there'a a lot of different ways that we can play with it when

its like this.

The way I usually have it is, I usually part it down the middle like this.

And then

I can kind of play around with it like this.

This is probably how I would have it on like, a day-to-day basis.

But it's really easy to play around with so I will be showing you some different ways to do it

as we do the different hairstyles.

If that makes sense

Lets get on with our first hairstyle!

Ok so the first hairstyle we're going to do is this kind of

I actually don't even know what I'm supposed to call this hairstyle like ...

uh .. balls ?

uh .. mm.. I should probably not call it that.

Does that hairstyle have like, a name or something ?

I find this hairstyle really fun because you can kind of play around with the hair bands to give

it a different kind of look.

So today, because we're doing a colorful, summery look

we're going to choose colorful, summery hair bands!

So you will need little colorful hairbands like these.

What I like to do is I like to match the colors on one side with the other.

So for example, if we start with

blue hair bands then we do blue hair bands on both sides!

So lets start with that!

I'm going to split my hair in the middle like this.

And then, right at the front I'm going to leave a few strands

like that

and then tie

half of it up.

You can use a hairbrush if you want to.

I like to tie it quite high up on my head

and then grab the blue hairband

and just tie it like this!

Like so!

And lets do the same on the other side.

Like so!

Then we're going to grab another color.

This time we're going to do

let's do

yellow!

And just kind of pull it

Maybe around here.

Just tie it

around here and then just pull it

out

like this.

So it becomes nice and rounded. Do you see that?

I feel like this could be a look.

Next, we'll do pink!

Again, same thing.

Tie it a little bit lower.

Pull it out.

And then, the last one. Which color should we do?

Let's go back to blue!

Great! As you can see it's quite a playful look!

Now, at the front, we've got these parts

All we're gonna do is, we're gonna take these parts

and curl them

a bit.

Like this.

You can do another layer beneath.

All you need to do is

spin it around like this.

Do you see ?

And it makes a little curl!

And here we have it!

Our first hairstyle!

I feel like this hairstyle, since the hairband themselves are kind of like decorations

you dont really need to add more to it but

if you want to, you're more than welcome to!

Maybe add a hairband or something like that.

I would personally just leave it like this.

Ok!

Next we're going to do, what I like to call a Kpop classic!

And that is these loose, low braids.

I've seen them for years and years in Kpop.

I think they're such a classic!

This one's a really easy one.

We just need to split our hair in the middle like this.

I like to tie this end that I'm not using at the time

just because I find it a lot easier.

Then we're going to

separate again a little bit at the front.

And then spit it into three.

Now I find it really important with this hairstyle

that you dont split it into three from the side

like this.

But that you do it from

the back like this.

Also I find it to be most important that

every section that you get is the same length.

So one of them might be a little bit bigger than the others.

But its ok as long as they're the same length.

And then from that point on it's just a simple braid!

Take the furthest one out and put it in the middle (x2)

Middle

Middle

Middle

until you reach the end.

I personally like to do this hairstyle with a

little, very thin, barely noticeable, kind of hair band.

And then we've got our first little braid!

And not let's

take this out

and do the same on the other side.

Ok! Now that you've got two simple braids like these

you need to start loosening them out.

So what I mean by that is pulling

little strands of it

out like this.

To make it kind of, more fluffy.

As you can see it makes quite the difference.

Usually you'd want it to be more fluffy at the top

and then, not really at the bottom.

Until you get this kind of, big at the top, small at the bottom

kind of shape!

The trick is to pull very thin strands

so they stick out very slightly like this.

very thin strands.

Once you're done

pulling them out normally

until you have this kind of messy

pigtail look!

Again, I like to have it nice and curly at the front.

And this is the basic Kpop style ... pigtails? Braids?

This one is quite fun to accessorize!

For example, it looks really cute with these

little heart shaped sunglasses.

Super summery! Super cutesy!

Love it!

The next one is one that I did quite recently on my Instagram which got a lot of positive

feedback! So I'm gonna go ahead and do that one!

Its these cute little ... German style braids?

I wanna say?

It reminds me of some kind of children's drawing of like

what German people look like.

Do you know what I mean?

So let's start again by pulling your hair

into two.

And just tying one end so it doesn't bother you.

Here we're going to go ahead and tie a low ponytail.

Then we're gonna go ahead and braid this ponytail.

Do kind of a tight braid.

And then once we get to the end,

again we're going to tie with ...

once again with these very, very thin, kind of, hair bands.

Now we just have to kind of pull this up.

and

pin it into place!

You only need to use a couple of pins to kind of keep it in place.

And here we've got the first one! And we're just going to do the exact same thing

to the other side!

As you can see, we now have these round

little braids. I guess.

Now with this hairstyle, I like to keep it a little bit simple so

I'm just going to go ahead and brush my fringe

to the side.

And then this time I think I'll put this little heart shaped

hair clip into my hair.

Maybe just here.

Like that!

And then it's just a cute little hairstyle!

Super summery! Gets the hair right out of your neck.

Perfect!

Ok! So this next one is actually really really easy

but still kind of looks complicated.

I've had a lot of people ask me like "How do you do that hairstyle?"

And its actually just ... braiding my hair!

So, we're going to start by, again, splitting the hair

in the middle.

And we're just going to tie it up.
