When I click on the link to the 10 easy ponytail ideas, it takes me to a page that says I’m not allowed to preview drafts.

Where is the link for “knotted braids”? Super cute!

Jessica commented on Feb 16 12 at 12:41 pm

Agreed! Knotted braids leads to same link as twisted sister. Sad. :(

Amanda commented on Feb 18 12 at 9:59 pm

I can’t read the txt on twisted sister because it’s so light and the background is white :(

Christy commented on Feb 23 12 at 12:59 pm

Link to twisted crown goes to chestnut bun :(

Love the hairstyles!! Any chance you ran into a 1950′s Pan-Am inspired hair updo tutorial or could I request you to make one?
Recently fell in love with their updo hairstyles – http://pinterest.com/flaming/pan-am-updo-s/
