Get that hair out your face!!

The summer is coming so that means nasty hot and humid weather here in the south, not a good thing for naturally curly/wavy haired gals. So, on days that your hair is a total fro you can do this cute bohemian hairstyle. It is super easy and quick!! This is not a really  step by step photo tutorial, its photos of the finished style but I did however, type up the steps on how to do this.




What you will need:
Hair elastics ( I used small clear and black ones)
Bobby Pins or U Pins if you like
Hairspray

 1. Take about a 2 inch section of hair on either side of your part, french braid to about where your eyebrows end and then regular braid the rest of the way down and tie it off with an elastic.

2. Leave the two braids out and gather the rest of your hair into a low ponytail. Tie off with an elastic.

3. Wrap ponytail around elastic and secure it with another small elastic and bobby pins.You can use U pins for this instead of bobby pins but I did not have any U pins at the time.

4. Take braid on left side and wrap it around bun starting on top and around the bottom,secure with bobby pins

5. Take braid on right side and wrap it around the bun starting on the bottom of the bun and wrapping to the top, secure with bobby pins. Spray with hairspray ( I used Aveda control force for this) and your done :)

Hopefully those steps were easy enough to follow. Let me know if you try out this hairstyle, send me the link or a photo in the comments below. Have a great day!!! :D

 With spring and summer around the corner (I cant believe its March already!) I wanted to share with you my favorite hairstyle for the warmer seasons...BRAIDS!!!
 They are so easy to do and look so cute on any type of hair!

Braided Updos:
I love how braids are being incorporated into updo styles!  These types of updos are great for any occasion and look super cute! They are even becoming the hot thing for wedding styles!










Waterfall Braid:
This is another one of my favorite braids as it can be worn with anything.



Fishtail Braid:
This type of braid can be a pain in the ass to do because you have to take TINY sections to get the effect. so in other words, it takes forever, but its worth it once your finished! It has such a bohemian feel to it and I love wearing fishtails with my flowy skirts and maxi dresses.
