First things first!
So sorry I have not posted in weeks!
Life has been a littler crazier than usual! I am in the process of making a second blog that I will be releasing in a few months and I have been working on getting it ready! I am very excited to share it with all of you!
So stay tunned for it!
I promise to get back to posting regularly and actually would love some ideas for blogs from all of you! So message, text or email me things you would like to learn about! All my social media contact information are located on the contact page!
Now, why your really here...tutorial time!
It's hot.
Well if you live anywhere but Ohio, it's hot. Today it's in the low 70's here. But this October baby isn't complaining. I would love fall year round! However, most of you are experiencing extreme heat!
My favorite way to keep my hair off my neck is a quick up-do!
This one is currently my favorite.
I created it about a month ago for our house warming party. I had all intentions of curling my hair, teasing it & looking fabulous, but that day it was hotter than hot!
My husband and I were running around like mad men an hour before to put finishing touches on everything and I just ran out of time to primp myself. So I started braiding and threw my hair up!
I ended up loving it & got so many compliments on it that day!
I've worn it like this once a week since! It's also great for the last few days of dirty girl hair in between shampoos, that's when it actually holds best!
It only takes 3 simples steps, and you can customize it depending on the length and thickness of your hair! It looks so cute if your hair is pre curled as well!
Step 1.
Tease at your base towards the top of your forehead. Brush all the hair back out of your face prepping it to braid. By teasing your base it helps to lift the braid off your head making it full and not just lay flat to your scalp. The more you tease, the more volume you will get! So be creative and make it fit whatever style you are trying to achieve.
Step 2.
BRAID! Start at the center of your forehead and section the hair into 3 pieces, to start your French braid! I think the bigger the pieces the better it looks! Braid all the way down to the bottom of your occipital bone, about an inch up from the nape of your neck!
Step 3.
To secure the bottom you have a couple options. If you have short hair like me all you will need are a few bobby pins!
I just twist the remaining hair into a c shape and start pinning like crazy. The more messy it looks, the better!
Perfect hair is for your wedding day!
I even love how some of my layers fall out and look loose and messy.
If you have longer hair or thicker hair than I do, which I promise most of you do :)
Be sure to secure it in pony tail or rubberband then get creative and pin a messy bun or tuck it all up so it just looks like the braid stops in mid air.
Then spray with your favorite setting spray to secure. You all know my go to is kenra 25!
Braid on !
Xoxo,
