How to Help Your Hair Grow Fast ... Guest Post by Mikell of Love & Such

Hey ladies! I'm Mikell from Love & Such & I'm super excited about the opportunity I have to blog over here for Daniela today!

 A little bit about me- I'm currently working full time as an Event Coordinator and I'm going to school at night to get my Masters Esthetics's License {about 2 more months left!}

I'm married to Spencer & we just celebrated our 2 year anniversary this month! We have a little bunny who's my first baby {his name is Winston} Winston thinks he's a puppy.. You can often find him following me around the house, chasing, giving kisses, or begging for treats!

The next little addition to our family is due in JULY! We are expecting our first baby! I am almost 23 weeks pregnant & we could not be more excited to have a little boy!

I love blogging about really anything- Travels, Celebrity Gossip, Outfits, you name it! Today I've decided to write about how to get your hair to grow fast! I've had lots of people asking me about that lately. And while the prenatals help, there's lots you can do to encourage healthy hair growth!

Bridal & Romantic Hairstyles for Valentine's Day ... Guest Post by Becky from Babes in Hairland

Hi everyone and Happy Valentine's Day! I'm so excited to be guest posting here on Put a Bird On It. My name is Becky & I blog over at Babes in Hairland. I've been blogging for over 5 years, and as a result our blog has hundreds of hairstyle tutorials. We are all about hair, and having only girls, that means I get to do a lot of hair!

Our blog has a wide range of hairstyles (for babies and toddlers, to prom & bridal styles, and everything in between) and since it's Valentine's Day today we thought it would only be right that we share with you some of our gorgeous updo's and styles that are perfect for a wedding or a romantic night on the town!

Don't let some of the pictures deter you from trying these out. I'm not a professional stylist, so if I can do these, (and if you are a bit hair challenged) with a bit of practice you can do these too! Some of my tutorials are in video format, others are step-by-step pictures to show you how I achieved the look. Just click on the name of the hairstyle and it will take you right to it!

#1 - Elegant Half-Updo 

I actually was just messing around when I came up with this style - but it turned out great so I shot a video showing how we did it. I can totally see this at a wedding or prom.

My Love Monday ... Top Knots

SO. 
I have to start this post with a giant DISCLAIMER. I am NO fashion blogger. I am no fashionista. I don't go shopping every day. I've never owned aztec leggings. You'll never see me in high heels. And I've done my makeup the same since high school.
But I do have a Pinterest board full of fashion, hairstyle and makeup tips. And I do like reading and seeing how other people "wear their hair in interesting ways" (as Derek Zoolander would say). 
So I'm not trying to be cool and trendy and pretend like I know a lot about fashion! But I love following fashion bloggers on IG and seeing how they put pieces together and maybe steal an idea or two here and there. And I think pinning tutorials is always a good idea.
SO.
That is my disclaimer. The end.

On to My Love Monday. Today's LOVE is TOP KNOTS. Top knots are funny, because I'm pretty sure we've been wearing our hair in a "top knot" since forever. I distinctly remember my older sister wearing her hair in a half bun all on top of her head in junior high! But that was back when wearing your hair UP made you a tomboy -- not a fashion icon. Now, top knots are all over. And I must say, I'm in love. Mainly because it is the easiest hairstyle when you don't want to do your hair. And it looks like you actually tried! When I used to work as a receptionist, I would do a top knot often, and my coworkers would say, "Wow, you styled your hair so fancy!" to which I usually laughed and said, "this is my I-didn't-shower hairstyle." Apparently something about it makes it look like you actually tried. So try a top knot when you're too lazy to shower and you can be pretend-fancy, too.

I've found some great tutorials for some of my fave top knots and have brought them together here for you. (As Derek Zoolander would also say, "Sounds cool.")

Braided Bun {Join the Mood}

Fun Bun {The Beauty Department}

 Messy Top Knot {Three Sweet Peas}

Twisty Top Knot {I Spy DIY}

Top Knot Three Ways {Stop Me If You've Heard This One}

 Try a top knot, and you can have the laziest fanciest hairstyle around.
