Cute....I'd like to see more of how you integrate the dressy accessories!
I LOVE my elastic pieces that I attach to the top of French twist. I have 2 now & I always get compliments on my hair everywhere I go. I’m 65 & also wear mine w curtain bangs. I just cd nt live without these little sprays of extra hair. I luv wearing wigs as well. But that take more time than these handy little things. Very good video I did learn how to comb out some of the tightness in the curls in one of mine. Good job👍❣️
Thanks for sharing!! I love love mine!!!
This is the most fun video. Love the way you make it simple and accessible.
Glad you liked it!
I love the extensions. It looks so beautiful. You do such a beautiful job.
Thank you, you made it so simply and easy to follow!!!
I am glad you found it helpful!
3 yrs later. I call this my covid hair do. Thanks for showing me your tips and tricks. I never would have guessed you are 60 plus. Looking forward to more. TY
You are so welcome!
Great video, Monika! Before I stopped coloring my hair, I used these wonderful hairpieces. Especially when my hair was not quite long enough to do a messy bun. Sometimes I would do my hair in a French roll, put on a claw clip and then tuck the wrap into the top of the clip instead of wrapping it around it. Another different look to add to your creations! Hair additions are so much fun! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the tips Lorna. I love playing around with mine and often just create funky styles with them. Have a wonderful weekend!
This is just what iv been searching for , a simple no fuss but realy lovely tutorial on hair pieces . You wear your hair just like i like too do and its helped me too know what im looking for thank you
Oh the struggle is real!! I’ve always had the most fine thin fragile hair since childhood and seeing all these long thick haired tik tok girlies makes me so jealous for all their hair hacks that are so EASY BC THEY HAVE TONS OF HAIR!! Seeing you do your hair mirrors my EXACT STRUGGLE and I too try to dress my hair up with pretty barrettes pins and clips!!
The struggle sure is real! I love my hair scrunchies and toppers! Life savers!
I've been using the HairDo straighter wraps for over 10 years on those days when I'm in a hurry or don't wash my hair. Ulta rarely has my color so I order on their site or most of the online wig sites like namebrandwigs, etc. carry them too. They've kind of changed them a little lately and are sometimes a little wimpier than they used to be. I've always used my shampoo to wash them, but I've been reading comments lately on some of the wig sites and some say to just wash them in fabric softener, so I'm going to try that. I have. many backups because I'm always in fear they'll stop making them. You always look darling with yours on and the color match is excellent for you. Laurie
Thanks Laurie. I have seen the Revlon ones at wig shops on line but I am lucky my Ulta carries a good selection as does my local Sally's Beauty Supply. When I 1st bought them I bought doubles as I had no idea how long they would last. I never thought to wash them with Fabric Softener, what a great idea. The Elastic gets totally stretched out on mine but that's because I double wrap them most of the time. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for sharing.
I learned some good tricks to use on my messy buns to make them look better!!
Thanks so much!
This was fun and informative Monika...and I always meant to tell you, I live within walking distance to Sally's and I have never been there...you have inspired me to go. I had no idea they have little hair do-dads there....I have been growing out my hair color and I need a wee bit of help....( I am close to chickening out)......love you my friend..Sues & The Dez
Thank you Susan! OMG ...walking distance to Sally's and you've never been there! Wow. You need to visit and sign up for their rewards program. They have lots of hair stuff and of course make-up and hair care products. Hugs to you and The Dez!
This was exactly what I needed to see. Very helpfu and you are a lovely person! Thanks,😘
Glad it was helpful!
Such a great video for fine hair! Thank you😊
Glad it was helpful! Hugs!
Love your ideas and how easy you make it all look.
Thank you! 😊
I know you say you are not an expert at these hairpieces BUT I think you do a gorgeous job and so professional!!!!!! Wow! Good job!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoox Carol
Thank you so much Carol and thank you for the awesome mention on your latest Retin-A video! Hugs!
I love the extensions look so beautiful and natural.
Thank you so much.
I never have a bad hair day at work because I wear all kinds of hair pieces. My hair is long and wavy and tends to frizz in humidity. I always carry one or two pieces with me plus clips and bands too. Thanks for sharing, Monica. I think we wear the same color in the Ulta brand.
I just love my hair gadgets! Theo pieces are so easy to use and look so real. Hugs!
I’m amazed at how easy you do your hair with those hair pieces! What a great idea thanks Monika x
Thanks Sandra! They are super easy to use! Hugs!
You should get one!
Great looks using the hair pieces.
Thanks Lynn.
Love that you did this video, thank you!! I bought one of these for a messy bun and was LOST until I watched your video, I had been fighting with the included clips for two hours; and I never needed them!! I have zero creativity in this area so it helped me, big time!
I did put in one of my claw clips at the end (not the included one) thanks to your suggestion and example, it worked out great. Thanks again! Looking forward to more
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to get confident enough to wear my hair up and leave the house, lol I'm chubby so I feel funny with my hair up out in public. I do need those big claw clips to hold my think fine hair in place and now I'm going to use your idea with claw clip and the messy bun. Hoping I can find my hair color
SO HAPPY I found this!! I ordered curly scrunchies on Amazon but had NO IDEA how to use them. Lolol Now I have an idea and a variety of hairstyles! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Did you get yours from Amazon? I'm afraid to order one online without physically seeing the color match, I have medium brown hair.....there are several shades. I went to Ulta at the mall but their selection was very limited. I bought one, but I'd like more of a variety to choose from. Thanks
good tutorial..one of best I have seen while investigating this whole messy bun thing lol
Thanks so much.
Thank you for a great video! My hair has thinned with age and doesn't look very full in a bun. Now that warmer weather is around the corner, I am looking for this kind of updo hairstyle with added hair pieces for fullness.
Awesome idea, Look great on you.👏
Thank you so much!
Hi Monika, I am so heading to Ulta to see if I can find a couple hair pieces to pin to the back of my sad and sparse ponytail. That braid is adorable. Planning a trip to warm sunshine and to get away from winter for a week and clip on beauty would be perfect for fun in the sun. You are just so adorable. Sending hugs .... Sherry
Thank you so much Sherry! If they don't have them in your store try on line and also Sally's beauty supply too .I just love my fake buns! They last a good long time too!
You make it look so easy! Very pretty styles on you , Monika. I think i won’t ever have enough volume of hair to grow it and put it up these days, so, for the time being I’ll have to stick with my very short pixie style and just be very envious 😊
I am borderline on having enough hair/volume but with the fake pieces I can pull it off. Hugs!
Hi Monika! Your hair looks so pretty pinned up and I love your hair accessories!! Thanks for sharing some great tips with us, have a wonderful weekend, hugs Deb x
Thank you Deb. We have a storm coming so it will be an interesting weekend! Hugs!
Thank you.
This is so fantastic & helpful. Thank you sooooo much for this
You are so welcome!
awesome thanks for the upload very helpful for the mature woman
Glad it was helpful!
I love it. Thank you so much Great video. I just used my amazon bun today. They are so fun. Yipee. Happy. Hugs ❤️🇨🇦
Wonderful!
Thank you for doing this video, Monika! These are so cute! I’m going to buy one and give it a try! Always enjoy your videos😍
Thanks Debbie. Let me know how you like them!
I love your hair like this Hun
Thank you Bella! Can you color your pieces to match?
Thanks for sharing Monika. Love these pieces on you. 💖💖💖
thank you so much Vicky! Hugs!
Monika...you look fabulous with your hair up! I have had one of these before but I don't have one now that is the right color. I need to pick one up. Great video! ❤️Lots of love Laura
I love my little hair pieces. They really make it so much easier to do nothing much to my hair. I love the ease of just putting it up in a ponytail and adding a fake bun! Hugs!
Thanks so much. I have those type of pieces and just have not worn them.. Now I think I will. Take care.
They are so much fun!
I love Toni brattin peices
They are very nice and so affordable too.
You've got creating a "messy bun" down to a science!!! Enjoyed the video, Monika.
Thank you so much Barbara.
Barbara, is that you in your thumbnail photo? Or your daughter? Grandchild? If that is you, you win the Cutest Baby Award!
@@oneitalia2312 Ha ha! That's me a very long time ago... and we all know what time does. Thanks for the compliment, however. Have an awesome day, Natalia!
@@barbarao4605 Barbara, I knew it was you all the time! Such a pretty, precious little one. (You still get the award ~♡~)
I just watched this as I just ordered one and wanted to know how you did it. I got a lot of suggestion from you. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Joan. I wear one probably 3 to 4 times a week. Hugs!
yay, nice to meet you. thank you!
Thank you !
Thank you! I have struggled with my "scrunchie" hair pieces, not getting the messy bun I had
when my hair was long. These styles are very cute, and I love the way you did them, and explained them!
I think I'm just a bit older than you, but love the updo looks!
You're welcome! I love them and with my thinning hair they have been a life saver!
I have seen ladies use a chopstick through the hair, just under the real hair pony,...then stretch each end of the hair scrunchie, around either end of the chopstick, instead of over your own ponytail...this is cool!
That does sound cool! I wonder if my skimpy pony could hold the chopstick? I am going to try it!
What a delightful tutorial! I just started buying some scrunchie hair pieces, and this was very helpful! I love your natural, fun style and disarming personality! A pleasure to watch.
Thank you so very much!
Thank you Monica. These are so cute! My hair if very fine & thin but I think I could try one. The links didn't work but I'll try to locate. Thank you.
I just updated a video tutorial on this. It should be published in a few days.
@@MonikaBeautyandLifestyle Thank you Monika. I hope to find one in my color that I can see in the store.
very helpful ,looks great on you!
Thank you so much!
Mine comes with a clip, I haven’t seen the elastic kind! ❤
Looks great on you. I need to get a few. Thanks Monika. xoxoxo 💖💖💖
Karen Presley they are so easy to use!
Hi Monika, your hair always looks so nice in the messy bun look!
Thank you! I wish I could get my mum to like it!
Oh my.. easy peasy...I'm doing this...thanks so much for the idea 💕💕
Thank you Wendy!
Very cute...I wore those several years ago all the time when my hair was short and I was growing it back out...they were so much fun and easy and I loved them. I think when you add the clip in the back it looks like you have pulled your hair up..so natural and cute..much love my friend..xoxo
Thank you Susan. I love using them and am lucky my hair is an easy match! Hugs!
Love this video! I'm a mom of 3 boys, I'm almost 40 and getting married in August and looking for a quick (yet me) hairstyle and this has helped 😍
Instead of using the bobby pins that you're talking about I have found an amazing bobby pin by Goody's. It is spiral comes in three different colors of black a brown maybe a bronze and maybe a gray also not sure but these pens are fantastic I found out about them before I found out about the hair wraps and what I did was just take those spiral bobby pins and put it in it stayed all day and I slept in it and woke up the next morning and it still looked great. There is no loosening no worrying about whether it's going to fall out or anything like that these pens are fantastic and I suggest everyone to go and look at them and at least try once.
They sound awesome. I am going to look for them. Thanks for the tip.
Geesh! I missed you again! You look so pretty with your hair up Monika. Big hug!
Thank you Mary! Hugs!
This is so great! Thank you for this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very helpful!!
I'm so glad!
Sweetheart thank you ik going to try this 💗
I'm new to the hair pieces and your tutorial really helped! Thank you!
Thank you so much.
Super cute Monika 😀 !! I wish my hair was long enough to use one , I may have to grow it out so I can do that ! It would be so easy especially in the summer to just toss hair up and put one of those on😎🤗
It was so easy this past summer and a year ago my hair was much shorter so it was harder but I could still do it. Hugs!
Love this hairstyle. It looks really beautiful. 🤗😘
thanks Rita!
It’s so cool you can shake your look up so easily :)
It is. I love the pretty hair pieces and fun wigs i have!
Thank you
You're welcome
Loved this video and all the different ways to wear the messy buns! Love the clips to hold your hair up! Wish they were available in purple! xoxo
I bet they have them available on line. Your hair is gorgeous and so long and full...I have hair envy!!! Hugs!
Just got my first hairpiece scrunchy and love it. Thanks for the tip to pull the wisps that fall down in back up with a hair clip! Problem solved!!
Brenda Serafino I just love wearing mine!
Fun video!!! I have more of those type hairpieces than I can count! Don't like wigs, and always wear my long hair up. Well, almost always!
I love them! For my shorter hair they are a perfect! Hugs!
You make this so good and easy!
They are easy to use and even with shorter hair they work nicely!
Great video! Well done.
Thanks!
Thank you soooo much...
Nice love it
Thank you! 😊
@@MonikaBeautyandLifestyle your welcome
Hi Monika! Good how-to video. I find that the curls will come back when I shampoo my pieces and let them air dry.
Thanks Janice. I have never tried washing them with shampoo just have been brushing and rinsing. Do you use a special shampoo?
@@MonikaBeautyandLifestyle I just use whatever shampoo I am currently enjoying. I put water in the sink and add a capful or so (maybe a teaspoon or two) to the water as it is running to mix it up, then swish it around in the shampoo water for a couple minutes. After that, I rinse it gently under running warm water, blot with a towel gently and then air dry on the towel. If you do it at night, the hairpiece will be dry in the morning.
Thanks Janice. I am going to give that a try!
Thank you Thank you!!!!
Thankyou. ❤so helpfull
You're welcome!
Thank you!!
You are too cute! I love your video! I just subbed and I'm just now buying a bun for my red hair on Amazon :)
Yay! Thank you! You will love those buns!
Did you get your red one? We're you satisfied with the color matching your own hair without physically seeing it first?
Oh, Son of a Gun, I missed it!☹️ Like your bun. But, I think Hayden is still my favorite!!😉😍🤗
I love Hayden!!! I am getting Flirt Alert!!!
Can’t wait to see it!!😉👍🏻👍🏻
That looks great 😊even the color it is perfect I never worn one but I bought one and is pretty nice not the same color but it will do my hair color it’s like brownish red and the one I got is a medium brown thinking of coloring it but afraid I might damage it let see how it works 😬
Thanks for the tips! I just bought one at our local 99 cent store for $2.99. It's not top quality but I think I can make it work😅
That is awesome!
Hey Mon, Thanks for this video! Great job, love them all.
Demo really helped me make some decisions regarding my LOCKs!
ConB, Jersey Shoreline 😍😉
Thank you so much Connie! Hugs!
Perfect.. good matches xxx
Thank you Angela! Hugs!
Guess who’s headed to one of those wig/hair piece stores??? Lol. Thanks for posting this video. I love all your ideas.
I love my buns!!!
After going to two different Sally's, an Ulta and two wig places I can say that these scrunchie hair pieces are mostly available online where you have to guess at the color and keep your fingers crossed that it's close.
I look everytime I go in and can't find them. I did buys some from amazon and the The Wig Company as well.
I ordered one from Paula Young and am hoping I guessed right on the color!
Hi 🖐 well i just got one of those buns but its slightly darker than my hair , ive got 2 more coming so i hope they are a bit more blonde . I just subscribed ♥️
Thanks for subbing. I hope the other two are a better match for you!
I need to get me one and play with it on me, I have no bangs but have long hair slightly past my shoulders. I need to find a way to get a decent look cause it’s so hot hear in Texas during the summer months. Don’t like wearing it in a ponytail at my 65 year old age but it just gets so hot. If I can’t get it to work I’ll take it to my hairdresser to see if she can help me. It looks so pretty on you.😘
Thank you so much. I love playing around with all the different hair accessories and pieces! So much fun!
The color matches so well to your hair, super cute looks :) I remember seeing some of them in my Sally's Beauty, have a good day and keep warm and safe, going to get nasty out there. xoxo
Thanks so much Lori. We are expecting about a foot and a half of snow overnight so Sunday will be interesting!
I like your hair pulled up Monika. Very cute.
Thank you Marla. It makes it so easy for me to do my hair!
Can u wear 2 pieces at the same time
Wouahhh thanksss seeing that consoles me
Can you use hairspray on the faux buns?
I never have. They do make wig hair spray but I have never used it.
How did you cut your neck, Monika? Enjoyed seeing how you use your hair pieces! Lucky you can find hair pieces that match. Ok, did you say you have a hairdresser's discount? Did I forget you once were a hairdresser? Blessings, and love..MaryEllen
I do have a hairdressers discount but I am not and have never been a hairdresser. My hair stylist gave me her account number so when I shop there I get her discount. It saves a few pennies at Sally's and most hair dressers are members and get discounts. I am surprised at the amount of colors they now have. A year ago there were not as many color choices at all. I broke my Gua Sha stone!!!! I am so upset! Hugs!
Thanks so cuteeee!
You're welcome!!
Love
ENQUE PARTE DE VENEZUELA LO VENDEN
Thank you I really leaned from you
Glad I could help
I love what a difference they make. I decided to buy the straight ones but they are getting tangled. Do you ever experience that? I tried to comb it out with a wig comb but it's making it worse
I think they can be washed but I try to treat them gently. I've had to toss one away but I've had it for 2 years so it was ready to be tossed.
Thank you so much for sharing! These ideas did help! Fyi! :)
Thanks Roze!
Cute, Monika!
Thanks Nancy!
I notice the color seems strawberry blondish. I have such an odd color of natural strawberry blond hair that I find it very hard to match hairpieces to my own hair. Do they have a huge selection of strawberry blond shades??
I think they do, Especially some of the wig manufacturers!
Which is the most comfortable, the wigs or the buns?
I love the buns when my hair is being difficult and I can't feel them at all. The Claw Clips I can feel at times. The wigs... I just love the total look. I've worn them all day, out in the wind and didn't have any issues. So I guess I would say they both serve the purpose.
Monika McGillicuddy My hair is short so I can’t do the buns but I have really loved some of the wigs. I like the idea of not having to style my hair. I like the buns on you and some of those accessories are really cute.
What is the elastic holder in your hair on the video?
I think it's just one I picked up in Walmart.
