by vfalkow Sunday, October 2, 2011 at 05:01PM Report as inappropriate

Some of these where nice but some looked extremely complicated and would take a lot of time. I would definitely try some of these looks.

by stephgal Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 01:09PM Report as inappropriate

I can do the pony with mine - that's about it - guess I'll have to get a fancier hair elastic.....

by keatonkat Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 12:12PM Report as inappropriate

Most of the Hairdo's will not work for me. But I might give it a try. Four braided hairstyle scares me...

I am really liking the 40's side roll, will so try it !!

by ClauE Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 10:54AM Report as inappropriate

So pretty

by ClauE Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 10:37AM Report as inappropriate

This article would be more helpful if it was separated into short--medium--long hair styles.

by alictasia Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 07:25AM Report as inappropriate

:x I tried a couple of these. My hair was either too thin or too layered for them to look good D: Ah well. These are nice for others, at least!

by Bon_Bon Monday, February 21, 2011 at 03:44PM Report as inappropriate

Thanks so much for posting this!! I definitely am going to be trying out a few of these looks that were shown. I also want to try some out on my mom because I feel like she has worn her hair the same way forever!!! She needs to be revamped!!! Now that I have some ideas, thanks to this posting, I can give her a much needed and MUCH deserved make-over!!

by lisa2683 Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 11:18PM Report as inappropriate

Thank you for some quick hairstyles! I feel like I never have any time to make my hair look perfected and cute.

I really wish they had more "how to" pictures that showed the steps in the process

by LittleBunny Saturday, February 12, 2011 at 04:10PM Report as inappropriate

cute!

by kenya Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 09:34AM Report as inappropriate

Not bad, but I have collar bone length hair, so it's kind of difficult to do the short hair styles, but also impossible to do the long hair styles. They also didn't include anything for VERY short hair

by alissaa23 Saturday, July 31, 2010 at 01:04PM Report as inappropriate

Now, people. You can't expect them to go through the book and pick out a style for every hair type, lenght, and race COMBINED. It would be helpful, but this topic is actually a lot better. It has styles for different lenghts and natural styles. I like the styles and the fact that they're easy to do has nothing to do with the fact that they're GOOD styles. Do you want to spend forever on your hair or what? I don't think you can critizise the site when you guys are asking for the impossible. Nice job to the writers of this artical, BTW (:

Funny, this is how I've been doing my hair anyway. And all this time I've been trying to grow my hair out and I see this wonderful hairstyle! The only difference is that my hair is texturized and my hair is braided as if they're dreds. Now I think I have the confidence to show my bobby pins. hahaha

by ImCute Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 10:04PM Report as inappropriate

i defintly just used one of those hair styles today and i did not look at this page, how weird, right!? some are really cute, others are either too old or out of style(:

by Jessica007 Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 06:42PM Report as inappropriate

cute ideas, but some are pretty simple

by seeingpink Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at 10:43PM Report as inappropriate

my hair is at that lenth where i cant do anything and my bangs too does anyone have any solutins??????????

by valerie572 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 07:17PM Report as inappropriate

My grandma was doing the pin curl twist years ago and she was born in 1881. You take about 1" wide of hair and twist it back toward your ear, like you are playing with your hair in class. The difference in what grandma did is she'd take that long pencil thin twist and pin it across the top of her head, like a Swiss milk maid's braid. The pincurl is you twist the long thin strands into quarter sized circles, again back toward the ears and bobby pin each curl with 2 bobby pins. Extra easy. I only do the front and it takes like one minute.

Where are the styles for Caucasion women with short hair?

by Jillma Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 08:42AM Report as inappropriate

should do close-ups, so that we can actually see what's done.

by snow_lake Friday, May 22, 2009 at 06:26PM Report as inappropriate

like this style #19 , very simple

by hotttie40 Monday, March 16, 2009 at 01:27PM Report as inappropriate

All but two looked baa-a-ad ! A two year old could do 'em!
