Springsational Hair

Spring is right around the corner

Before we know it Summer will be here

So here are a few different takes on the Braid...A warm weather fav!


The Warrior Princess...

 

                                      1: Wide cornrow 2 braids on each side of the head.
                                      2: Tease Smooth and bobby pin a Poof on top.
                                      3: Pull rest of the hair into a Pony.


The All Braid


This Braid is a little more complicated
                                        1. Start in the crown of the head
                                        2. Cornrow braid around the head only picking up hair from
                                            the right side of the cornrow.
                                        3. Finish off with a clear elastic. 
                                        4. Bobby pin the tail under the last braided row.


The BoHo Braid


                                        1. Waterfall braid the top half of the hair.
                                        2. Instead of French braiding the bottom half "French twist" 
                                            with just two sections of hair.
                                        3. Secure the Top braid with the Bottom twist.

There you have it a new "twist" on an old favorite!

Can you think of another option for the age old favorite braid?

Sock Bun Style.....

 
(picture and instructions via styleable.co.uk)
 
 
Here’s the step by step process of curling your hair with the use of a sock bun:
1. To create a sock bun, get a pair of old socks
2. Cut the ends (the toe bit) and then roll the sock until you reach the other end (creating a donut shape)
3. After creating a sock bun, tie your hair with an elastic band
4. Once you have done this, grab a spray container and spray your hair with water (don’t make it too wet).
5. As soon as your hair is damp, hold your hair up and start rolling the end part onto the sock bun until you reach the other end.
6. Leave it tied and rolled overnight.
7. Unroll and untie it the next day and you’ll feel the difference. You’ll feel that your hair is curly and bouncy.

The coolest use of the sock bun curl technique.....
Two days of hairstyles
Day1~ create the sock bun and wear as day1 style
