I just had a full 20 minute tutorial with my hairstylist to learn how to put my hair in a ponytail...yup, 44 years old & have never concurred the most basic updo! I sped home, rushed right to the bathroom to repeat these seemingly easy steps...the right side fell out before I left the room! 2 elastics, 13 Bobby pins & yet no luck!
How have you all learned to do these amazing styles I see you rocking at the mall, the pool, everywhere??
Halppp!!

    I grew up learning how to do flamboyant hairstyles on myself. The perk of being Nigerian. Too bad I only rock a hobo like bun these days.

    But yeah YouTube and Pinterest is your best friend.

    I am like this, with heels; that aren't wedges or chunk, I can stand in them but I can't walk or run, in them. It's awful because the sexist heels're all stiletto!

    I am right there with you! It's a good thing my hair is long so I can toss it up in a bun that looks semiprofessional at work or I would be in major trouble. And forget trying to figure out makeup. I end up looking either like my face is melting or Bozo.

    I think I need a tutorial on how to put my hair in one of those claws. It looks more like I just woke up. Now I'm accustomed to that look so thats how I wear it lol.

    Hot rollers and a curling wand are my best friend when it comes to trying to pretty things up. The best ponytails IMO are achieved by flipping your head over and gathering the hair then just tying it with the elastic. You can adjust the height from there. The messy look is in : D

    Some of the best looking hair I've ever seen has been on dudes.

    I totally suck at that kind of stuff too - my current hairstyle being a case in point. Never got the hang of make up either....

    I'm like this with make up. Honestly I just cannot work it out! I can do my hair though,its long and has always needed some taming that my mother wasn't often willing to do!

    I am rubbish at doing my hair :(
    I also struggle somewhat with putting it up into a pony so I'm afraid there is no hope for me lol iv tried to learn how to do stuff but my hair doesn't behave most of the time.
    Wash n go then pull the straighteners through it and hope for the best

    I can't do anything with my hair either. Though I've yet to actually try anything

    Don't you just pull it back and slap in an elastic for a pony?
    I can do a bun with a donut in like 30 seconds with no pins, just the donut, hair net and 3 elastics. Hair net is really only if you want it super tidy. I can even make it with so much gel and spray that you can take it out and have a pony with no elastics!

    But ya check youtube

    I'm hopeless beyond a basic pony and messy bun.
    But I can do heels :)

    I make a terrible girl. Can't do anything with my hair, can barely put on mascara. Dread any event that calls for a "hairstyle". So, I'm no help but at least you aren't alone. :)

    I am forever surprised at the carp that flies under the radar, then something like that gets flagged!? Mystery to me, too!
