If you’re feeling a little girly, why not try a double bun hairstyle? If you’re the type of girl that finds styling your hair a little intimidating, then this hairstyle is perfect for you.

How to make them? Making double buns isn't that difficult and you can easily make them by yourself. The double bun hairstyle is fairly straightforward and will not take more than 10 minutes. However, you will need a few things:

• A Brush

How to Get Rid of Oily Hair

Steps for Healthy Hair

Healthy hair can dramatically change your look and your style. If oily hair is a problem, try these simple steps to improve the overall health of your hair.

Oily hair is caused by your body producing too much sebum from the sebaceous glands connected to the hair follicle. Oily hair appears dull and lank. It also attracts dirt more easily, lacks volume, and is more difficult to manage than dryer, healthier hair. The more hair you have, the more oil your sebaceous glands produce. People with fine hair have more hair per square inch of scalp, so they have more oil glands resulting in oilier hair. Redheads rarely have problems with oily hair, but blonds typically have fine, thin hair and more issues with an oily scalp. The more your hair weighs, the more oily it will appear, so the longer you hair is, the oilier it may look. Products not specifically formulated for oily hair may increase the problem. Adding the wrong kind of mousse or gel to add volume may make your hair look oilier. Getting rid of the oil for smooth, silky, healthy hair requires a few simple steps. Chances are, you've already tried a few products off the shelf, but did you know there are home recipes for hair products designed specifically for getting rid of the oil in your hair? Nature is a wonderful pharmacy, so choose natural products whenever possible. If products and home remedies still leave you with an oily mess, you could try a cut and style designed to minimize the appearance of hair. Mix and match the solutions until you find one that works best to help you get rid of your oily hair.

Change Your Habits: 

Oily hair may look finer and more limp than hair that is well cared for. Hair becomes immune to shampoo’s effectiveness over time, so if it’s been a while since you changed your shampoo, try something new. Also make sure you are using the right shampoo for your hair. Oily hair needs a clear, see through shampoo as they have less oily residue to weigh your hair down. Shampoo your hair once a day or twice a day if needed. If your hair still feels oily after shampooing, you need to shampoo it twice next time. After all, the labels read, ‘lather, rinse, and repeat’ and this is especially true for people with oily hair. Your goal is to keep up with the oil production factory living inside of your hair follicles. Do not use a conditioner, unless it’s absolutely necessary. Conditioners contain oil and you already have enough. Don’t over brush your hair. As you brush, you carry the oil from your roots to the ends of your hair, effectively distributing the oily goodness throughout your head. Blow your hair dry in the opposite direction from how it grows. Throw your hair over your head and blow it dry or you’re your hair up from the roots with a brush as you dry it. Stress levels affect the sebaceous gland, so your hair will be healthier if you avoid stress. These few simple steps can make a difference in the overall appearance of your hair.

Products: 

If you feel like you’re the only woman in the world with oily hair, rest assured that you are not. Your hair needs a certain amount of oil to maintain a healthy shine and texture. If you look like you could squeeze enough oil from your hair to fry a chicken, then you may need to change the products you use. Check the hair care aisle in your local drug store or ask your stylist what he or she recommends for your type of hair. We've already learned that you need to shampoo at least once each day, so choose a shampoo that’s gentle, but effective for oily hair. Once you begin searching, you may see that there is a tremendous amount of product designed to increase the volume in your hair, making it look less oily. If you must use conditioner, use it sparingly and only if it is formulated for oily hair. Also try using it only on the ends of your hair, not at the roots. Make sure you rinse the shampoo and the conditioner completely; you do not want to add weight to your hair. Your hair may have other considerations, like split ends, which may require more precise shampoos and conditioners. Your hair stylist will be able to point you in the right direction if you need a little help.

 Home Recipes: 

You can find many different recipes for oily hair care that use ingredients you likely have in your fridge or your pantry. Home remedies for oily hair use ingredients like lemon, beer and apple cider. Mixing a few ingredients at home will save you money and may help get rid of your oily hair. Apply an astringent to your scalp that you make from equal parts of witch hazel and mouthwash. Apply it using cotton pads each time you wash your hair, if needed. The witch hazel is an astringent and the mouthwash is like an antiseptic. Rinse your hair with lemon juice and distilled water to combat the oil in your hair. Mix the juice of two lemons with a quart of distilled water. You could also rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar and distilled water. Mix a teaspoon of vinegar with a pint of water. This helps remove the soap residue that will weigh down your hair while it also acts as a tonic for your scalp. If you already use mousse on your hair, try switching to beer instead. Fresh beer stored in a covered plastic container in your shower will react better with your oily hair than mousse which may clog the pores.

Cut and Style: 

Wearing your oily hair long and one length will cause it to lie flat and lifeless. Instead, have your stylist cut your hair in layers, especially on top of your head. You can also ask them to cut your hair from underneath as this allows the hair to stand up better. Purchase a good blow dryer, one that will cause the least amount of damage to your hair for daily use. You may pay a little more for a good dryer, but your hair will thank you for it.

How To Put Your Hair In Buns

Schoolmistresses no longer have the monopoly on this sexy style.

Putting your hair in a bun is easy -- once you know how to do it. Take about half an hour to experiment with these looks to determine which bun you like the best.

The bun is a classic and time tested hairstyle. While the bun used to be indicative of a stern, female figure who did not have the time or inclination for frills or other frivolity, it is now a unique and fun way to keep your hair out of your face while giving your look a sense of flair and innovation. Whether you need a tightly wrapped, heavily pinned bun to keep hair firmly in place and out of the way, or whether you prefer to let your bun be a little looser and romantic in style, wearing a bun is the ideal way to practically keep your hair out of your eyes and off your neck while still keeping a little bit of style in your look. Whether you have bobbed hair, shoulder length hair or long hair that extends to your waist or farther, you can enjoy wearing a variety of buns to achieve a wide array of looks.

Before you start styling, you will need to have several things close at hand. You will need a wall mounted mirror and a hand mirror. This will let you look at the back of your head to see whether you like the look of your bun once you are done. Also, make sure that you have plenty of bobby pins, the long, straight pins that you may use to pin hair back out of your eyes. You will also need several ponytail rubber bands. These bands should be thick enough to hold all of your hair – or as much as you want to put in the bun – firmly in place. Generally these will be thick, brightly colored bands that are covered with cloth and have a metal clasp holding them in a loop. The thin, flimsy “ouchless” hair elastics will probably not be hardy enough for this, so make sure you have some real elastic hair bands rather than just small rubber bands. If you want, you can add some additional flair to your look by using the small rubber bands to dress up the hair in your bun before you put it there, but we will address styling your bun later. For now, we will stick to the basics of bun-building. You will also need hairspray and a good, strong hairbrush. Pick on that combs your hair the most smoothly and with the least amount of resistance. Many people find that buns are easier to style when their hair is damp. If you have trouble keeping your dry hair smooth, then consider keeping a spray bottle nearby as well to make your hair a little easier to deal with. Once you have all of your equipment, face the wall mounted mirror and get started.

If you have long hair, it will be relatively easy to form it into a bun. First, pull all of your hair back into a ponytail. The ponytail will end up being the center of the bun, so a high ponytail will result in a high bun and a low ponytail will result in a low bun. Make sure that your ponytail is located where you want your bun to be. Also, make sure that the rest of your hair is relatively smooth, and that you have pulled out any pieces of hair that you would like to remain outside of the bun. These might be bangs or side pieces that you will  curl or style later into tendrils to frame your face. If these loose pieces make it hard for you to see to style, clip them out of the way with a bobby pin for the time being. Grasp the end of your ponytail and begin to twist it. The tighter you twist, the tighter your bun will be. As you twist the hair, it will begin to curl around itself, forming the shape of your bun. Once you have twisted all of your hair so that it is firmly coiled, tuck the end of the hair underneath the entire coil and use several bobby pins to hold it in place. You may also place bobby pins around the edge of your bun to hold it to your head. The open ends of the pins should point inward toward the center of the bun, and they should be sticking through hair in your bun and the pulled-up hair on your head. Once your bun is secure, you can spray it with hairspray to flatten down small pieces of hair that are sticking up and to hold it in place. If you do not like using bobby pins, you may decide to stick a pair of hair sticks through the bun to hold it in place. The hair sticks should be more or less perpendicular to each other. Poke one end through one side of the bun, then thread it through so that it is also sticking through the hair beneath the bun. Then, angle it back upward so that it sticks out of the other side of the bun. Do this with both sticks starting on opposite sides of the bun.

If you have shorter hair, you may decide to just put the front part of your hair in a bun. To do this, you will need to pull as much hair as possible into a ponytail. The ponytail needs to be long and thin enough to twist, so do not make a ponytail that is so short that it just sticks out from your head. Once you have the ponytail secured, twist it in the same way that was described above. You will form a small bun on the back of your head. You can secure it with bobby pins or by putting another elastic band around it to hold it in place. If you have short hair, you will definitely need some hairspray unless you want your bun to look spiky because of all the hair sticking out on the sides.

You can do several things to “dress up” your bun. You might put several small braids into your ponytail before you start twisting it into a bun. This will add some texture to the bun. You can also put beads in your ponytail or just brightly colored elastics to add some sparkle and color. If you have extremely long hair, then you might decide to braid your entire ponytail before you twist it into a bun. This makes your bun look almost like a braided crown and can be a very elegant look as well as making your hair far easier to manage while you are styling it.
