Guest post from my friends over at College Candy!
You’ve seen this trend all over the red carpet on Kate Bosworth, Lauren Conrad, Kirsten Dunst, and more. The top bun is everywhere. It’s a bit more high fashion than the typical ballerina bun, although the idea is pretty much the same. I’m loving this look right now, especially for when I don’t have a lot of time to do my hair. Sure, messy buns are great but the slick top bun makes you look instantly put together.
The top bun is super easy to do!

Selena Gomez looked absolutely incredible at this year’s Teen Choice Awards. What stood out to me the most was her hairstyles. She had flawless loose waves on the red carpet and a chic low-ponytail
look during her tango-inspired performance. All credit should go to Wella Professionals Celebrity Stylist, Andy LeCompte for creating these gorgeous hairstyles.
Wanna replicate Selena’s hairstyles?
Here’s the breakdown on how to achieve both hair looks!
Step-by-Step Styling
1. Wella Professionals Velvet Amplifier was added to her wet hair to prime it for styling
2. Blow dry the hair completely smooth with a ceramic brush
3. Spritz hair with Wella Professionals Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray to protect hair from heat fatigue
4. Separate hair into small sections and use a medium to large barrel curling iron to set loose waves
5. Use fingers to apply Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray, tucking the hair behind one ear and giving it an all-over polished look
Then, for Selena’s Performance:
6. Using a dollop of Wella Professionals Pearl Styler Styling Gel on the palms, smooth hair back toward the nape of the neck and secure with a hair elastic
7. Using a ½ inch section from her hair, wrap the pony to hide the hair elastic and secure with hair pins into a chic, low ponytail

There are many ways to learn how to get curly hair and look fabulous. There are artificial means that will give you those curls you have always wanted. If your hair is straight, you can still get bouncy and cascading curls without perms or using harmful chemicals. Check out these 6 tips beginners can do that will show you how to get curly hair the right way.
1. The way to get curly hair is by washing and conditioning your hair before bedtime. Spray gel to your damp hair. Put sponge rollers on it afterwards. To achieve bigger curls, use large rollers. For smaller and tighter curls, use smaller rollers. The following morning, you
will receive the kind of curls you have always wanted.
2. Buy bendable sticks as these give you curls that look unbelievably natural. The first thing to do is partition your hair into small sections. Get a bendable stick and place it at the middle of one portion of the divided hair. Whirl your hair around the stick until it reaches the scalp. Twirl the stick’s ends towards each other so that it will be in place.
3. Another way to get curly hair is to split your hair into several parts. Afterwards, divide each part into tinier parts. Braid each part and roll them to your scalp. Put them into place using a hairpin. Do this at night before going to bed. The following morning, unbraid your hair. You will see curls that look so natural.
4. You can also utilize stream rollers when you wake up in the morning. Put these rollers on your hair first for a quarter of an hour. You will then have curly hair that look natural.
5. Don’t just use shampoos that say they can curl hair. You should combine them with
one of the tips mentioned above and with hair products that can keep the curls intact. Suggestion: Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly, $3.99
6. You can get a perm but this can damage your hair eventually. If you are the type of person who does not have time to fix hair every day, a perm is necessary for you then. If your hair is strong enough to bear chemicals, then you can get one. However, people are usually discouraged from this.
It is necessary to also care for curly hair by taking it to an expert. The stylist would be able to know what will look good on you and how to protect your hair. He can also recommend the type of curly hair products that are safe to place on hair. Nothing beats going to a professional hairstylist.
Knowing how to get curly hair will make you experiment with the different types of hairstyle that will look good on you.
