The 36 Best Hair Tutorials of 2014
By Kate Puhala
True, we’re known to have a thing for the messy bun, but when it comes to our daily hair routines, we tend to go the extra mile (it’s the DIYers in us). The proof is in the tutorials — we’ve made about 36 of ‘em this year that take you through fun and easy ways to style your locks step-by-step. Not only did we hit on all the biggest hair trends of 2014, from nailing the fishtail braid to adding pops of pastel color, no stylist required, but we also took the top celebrity hairstyles from the red carpet to your very own vanity mirror, and broke down what it takes to look like an A-lister when you’re pressed for time (try 10 minutes to spare). Here, we’re sharing those hair hacks plus a handful of hair how-tos from around the web in our year-end celebration of the best hair DIYs of 2014, a compilation best read through with a brush and a few bobby pins in hand.
