Happy New Year! We made it to 2015. I’m so grateful for all your support and I wish you and your family the very BEST as we navigate through this year.
New Year, fresh start, right? Well in this case it’s New Year, New Hair..kinda.
I started off the year with this very easy low side bun that was a new (to me) style. I have done almost every style there is, except a low side bun.
The video below is a collaboration with a few lovely ladies on YouTube. We each tried a style that we have never done before.
This style is super easy, and I added some really inexpensive hair jewelry to spice things up a bit. Since I’ve been cutting my hair a lot, I was really surprised that I had enough to make a bun of my own. I did add some extra hair for a little “drama” 🙂
I’ve been asked about my hair goals for 2015 and they remain to the same as every year..to have healthy hair and to have FUN.
Of course I had to add a little sparkle and faux fur to the look for New Year’s Eve. I got this cute necklace from Walmart & the Vest came from JustFab.
Enjoy the video and be sure to check out the styes created by the other ladies. I listed them all in the video description box.
YOUR TURN: What are you looking forward to most this year?

I wish I could do anything with my hair. It rarely cooperates. You look super lovely in your video!
You are so beautiful. I love the low side bun. I will try that for my hair especially I have to always put my hair up at work.
Love the look of the side bun, I do not think I have enough hair to do a side bun but can always give it a try. Love the necklace.
What a great look! I love how you dressed wit up with the head band, so chic!
Your vest really looks fab. I’ve been looking for something like that and finally saw one in H&M yesterday. The low side bun fits you well.
I love the look on your!! I actually love side everything… side buns.. side ponytails. haha I feel like I’m stuck in the 80s bc of it. 🙂
Your hair looks FANTASTIC! I love the jeweled headband and that necklace with the red lips really sets the look off! Love it!
Thanks Echo!
Beautiful hair! I’m most looking forward to new firsts for my baby – Valentines, his birthday, Easter and everything else!
Aww…. I’m sure his first will be great. Thanks Sara.
Beautiful – I love it! I really like low side buns when I want to look nice but not over done.
Thanks Jamie.
You look so pretty! I’m loving the bun. I’d love to do my hair up in a bun, but it’s so thin, it just falls apart.
Thanks Jennifer.
Even when I had long hair I always found a low side bun difficult to pull off, but this is something I think I can manage! P.S. LOVE the vest from Just Fab!
Thanks Andrea 🙂

This is such a lovely, simple up-do. I’ve actually been wanting to try this all week having seen a picture on Pinterest. Love the touch of the headband too, so pretty.

This style looks super fab Vashti, and that makeup is #flawless! I haven’t tried a low side bun with my natural hair before either so I will definitely be using this as inspiration 🙂 Happy New Year!!!

I like the look. I wear my hair in a bun, especially when I am having a bad hair day lol. May have to try and rock it low and to the side.
Yep, a bun is great for hiding those bad hair days too.
I absolutely love the low bun on you. It complements the shape of your face.
Thanks Kimberly 🙂
I love love love your hair! Even with my locs, I am a bun kind of girl! It’s so easy simple and elegant at the same time!
Yep, buns for the win 🙂
Love your style! The bun is such a fun and quick style to have. I need to consider rocking it more :-).
Thank you 😉
I am so a bun kind of girl. In late spring, I suffer some heat damage and shedding. 🙁 I just cut all of that off. It’s giving me struggle bun right now. 🙁 Hopefully my spring, I can wear a cut low bun again.
lol..your struggle bun will be back in tip top share before you know it.
1. that vest is super cute.
2. I love the low side bun when I have no inspiration or energy to get up early enough to dry and style my hair. CUTE!
Thank you so much Heather 🙂
