Paris: Hi Jelena! I was wondering, I have really long hair ( down to my butt haha) and I can never find any cute buns or up dos that work with my hair! ( it's also completely naturally straight) HELP! (:
Miranda: Thank you so much for this video! I decided to cut my hair from the middle of my back up to my shoulders, and I love it! It was one of the best decisions I have ever made, but it is very frustrating sometimes trying to find up-do's for it because most are for long hair! But these styles are perfect for my hair, and they look super easy too! I'll definitely be bookmarking this article! Thanks again! :)
