So here it is, earlier I promised to get back to you all with my suggestion for youtube hairstyle tutorials.  After watching many many different stylists I could only commit to my magic number three.  So here are my top three favorite stylists:ilovegerardo aka Iris Iris is a beautiful Latina, like every one of you ladies, and although she is not a certified hair stylist she is very talented with working the hairs on her pretty lil head.  Look her up, I promise you’ll find something you like in her videos! videohairstyles  Videohairstyles is hosted by several professional stylists.  Styles were made with you in mind.  Easy to do on all types of hair.  Videos are filmed with real people in a salon setting.    fordmodels   Fordmodels is an actual company with real life professionals letting you take a peek into their creative world.  They show you step by step how to recreate looks made for a catwalk.  Relying on any of the above tutorials will surely make heads turn at your Quince.  Try them out.  It may not work out the first time, but with practice you’ll master it in no time! And if you don’t trust yourself to do it, time to cash in on the IOUs from your girlfriends!
