Greek Goddess Transformation

The other day my sister and I were talking about Greek goddesses and which one we wanted to be if we could choose. I told her that since there wasn't any that fit my personality well enough, if I could be a goddess of anything, I'll be the Goddess of Happiness.

Well, that conversation inspired me to make this hair tutorial. It's simple, yet elegant and innocent. If I was a goddess, this is probably how I would look like. Haha.. This is mainly a Spring hairstyle that could be worn during the warm weather to embrace your long hair. I hope you guys like it!

Note: I am wearing my 20" hair extensions.



Products mentioned:
Paddle Brush
Bobby pins
L'Oréal Elnett Hairspray
Hot Tools 1" curling iron










All hail, Goddess Maikia has come back to Earth! =P

Before I leave I just want to say thank you to all those who have been watching my videos and viewing my blog. Even though it may not be thousands of people, it still makes me very happy and it inspires me to continue making tutorials to share with you all! ;)

Faux Bob/Messy Updo

Hi everyone! This tutorial is of a messy updo much similar to Taylor Swift and many other celebrities' faux bob on the red carpet. It's quick and easy. It's perfect for a date or night out. You don't need to be a hair stylist to achieve this look. I hope you guys enjoy it!



Note: I didn't use any hairspray because my curls usually stay put without any, but you may need it depending on your hair type.

Products used:

Paddle brush
Croco clips
Bobby pins
Hot Tools 1" curling iron

Disclaimer: All products mentioned in the video were purchased with my own money.

Below are a few pictures that I took with the finished look. I apologize that my pictures are quite dark because towards the wrap up of my tutorial, my battery died so I had to charge my battery and by the time it finished it was around 5 pm already. Also, my apartment lighting is super dark. I don't know whether it's due to the type of light bulbs that were installed or what, but this will do for now.







Also, before I go, I just wanted to let you guys know that the other day I purchased a few accessories from Forever21 and I will be doing a haul video of all the goodies I got once it arrives. It's expected date is this Thursday so I'll have the haul video up by Friday, hopefully. Until then, take care! ;)
