Do you have tickets to the Hunger Games yet? I do not but I plan to see it soon. I decided I’d rather avoid the heavy crowds and lines and see it a very days late. But on to more important matters. The Katniss braid. Her braid is actually a fairly simple Dutch Braid, the upside down French braid, continued down into a side braid. You can see my tutorial here for a Dutch Braid and a similar tutorial here for the side braid.
I haven’t been this excited for a movie since ever.
This is by far my favorite look. When I want to wear my hair up, which is usually everyday, this is my go-to. I’ve done a similar style with a dutch braid but I wanted to see if I could pull it off with a lace braid. How’s your Wednesday going? AJ started a new schedule this week so it’s been quite a change having him at home the past two nights. Usually he works nights and I only see him on the weekend so he’s like an invader now disrupting my usually quiet nights. I get home from work and don’t know...
Lauren Conrads many braids. It’s amazing how many different looks she’s done over the past years with braids at the forefront. I am slacking on my tutorials because I need to color my hair and I can’t decide if I want to. Okay okay I don’t want to. Maybe that’s the problem. I don’t normally go this long without getting my roots done. I’m just tired of the same old so I’ve been on a hair hiatus lately. Just letting it be; wearing the same pony tail day after day. Maybe I can get a little inspiration from LC and...
I keep seeing tutorials done this way and I’ve been wanting to try it. It was a whole lot easier than filming because I can do or redo anything that doesn’t work out and then just snap a quick picture of each step. Of course it leaves out how each bun is pinned and how I loosened each knot to achieve a more disheveled look. What do you think? Was this harder to follow?
The first time I did this hairstyle I got four twists in, no problem. Then the next time I did it with three twists and by the time I filmed it I could only get two twists to work properly. They can just be slippery to pin down and I started getting frustrated so I just left it at two. My picture shows three twists but the finished video shows two. I’m sure if you wanted to do six you easily could. How many twists do you like best? How’s your week going? Mine’s been a rough one. I’m just a little...
The thing I love about this hairstyle is that it’s a simpe messy top knot with a hint of kick. I believe the top knot to be one of the most convenient methods of getting my hair out of my face. The first time I saw this look was on my own sister last summer we were traveling around Europe. We wore top knots almost every single day because it was cold and we didn’t have electrical outlet converters to plug in our straighteners. Adding a little braid on the back of the head takes the top-knot up a notch to fancy-free :)...
