Good YouTube Channels for Hair and Makeup

My current obsession is YouTube tutorials (literally EVERY night!) as I love to master new hairstyles!

• http://www.youtube.com/user/foxylocksextensions?ob=4&feature=results_main- Foxylocksextensions has beauty tutorials as well as hair tutorials especially for hair extensions.
• http://www.youtube.com/user/bebexo?feature=watch Beboxo has hair and beauty tutorials and shows off her cute fashion style
• http://www.youtube.com/user/bubzbeauty?ob=4&feature=results_main I really like Bubz Beauty as she tells you about hair, beauty and "Random Shiz" (Only on Youtube people)
• http://www.youtube.com/user/officialtoniandguy?feature=results_main Toni and Guy's Channel is more about fashion, giving you exclusive Fashion Week footage, but you can take ideas from that and create your own hairstyles!
• http://www.youtube.com/user/johnfriedauk?feature=results_main John Frieda's videos  show you new product adverts, as well as taking you step-by-step through some tricky catwalk hairstyles.
• http://www.youtube.com/user/babyliss?feature=results_main Babyliss show you how to master celebrity hairstyles (like Adele and Lana Del Ray (see video above)) and how to use their products in the best possible way.

Also if you have bought a new styling product like straighteners or curlers and you have yet to master it then just type the product name in and look at the tutorials for it.
