Pink Lemonade
Over the past few weeks i've been completely inspired to change up my hair styles, its so easy to fall in to a rut of just wearing it in the same style daily - which is fine, just maybe tad boring? Reading all the new Spring/Summer editorials in all my favourite monthly magazines always inspires me to create romantic, girlie tresses that are easy to wear in the summer. As you may have seen in my last post, i've recently been loving tonging large curls throughout my now-long locks, wearing the uber-glam look. But admittedly i do have a rather pesky side sweeping fringe, that looks fabulous when spent primping with the ultimate blow dry but not when its for everyday wear, so i decided to give this braid a whirl...
Sadly, i wasn't quite as gifted in the hair stakes as the model above. With much finer hair i decided on one main braid, running through on a side parting. Its completely fool-proof, perfectly pretty and takes no time at all. Also a winner for short-haired and long-haired ladies alike.
After deciding that just a step by step written instruction to this braid would not only confuse the living day lights out of you, as well as me, i decided to film a rather naff diy video for your viewing pleasure, please click the weird star shape in the grey bar and change to 720dp for better picture.
Simply split the front section into two parts, wrap one part (the smaller if fringe) around the section two (which we shall call, for the easy understanding if this tutorial, Frank), and then pull section one to the front. Select another piece of hair further along, like a french plait, and twist around Frank, then pull to front. Repeat this step again, pulling another part of hair and twisting around Frank. Then i like to take Frank alongside another piece of hair and twist continuously to form a braid, then secure with a hair bobble.
I really hope this makes sense, otherwise i apologise sincerely. It really is easy once you get the hang of it, and you don't specifically need a mirror to do so. A great hair style to adopt if you are lucky enough to be on holiday (jammy cow) or your growing out a fringe - or lazy like me. Depending on my mood i tong the remainder of my hair to add some volume but thats completely up to your preference.
Another little note to add, i spied some hair style tutorials created by John Frieda recently on their You Tube channel recently that i've been watching like a hawk. There are somethings that should be left to the professionals, but heck, i'm definitely trying this.
Do you like to switch up your hair styles?
