Peaked my Pinterest: Romantic Side Braid

You all know by now how much a love a great braid. I pinned this on Pinterest a few months ago and waited until I got my new Hair by Suzie extensions to try it out.

Here is my take on a romantic side braid:

 

1 & 2) Create a side part and pull all hair to the opposite side.

3) Begin a regular French braid at the top, near the part.

3) Continue creating the French braid along the side/hairline moving towards the ear.

4) Add hair from the opposite side by taking horizontal sections and bringing them around to the front where the braid is located.

5) Finish braid and secure with hair tie. Begin to pull and loosen braid. Loosen braid to desired size.

8) Spray with finishing spray. I also added a bobby pin or two down the center of the braid to keep a few fly-aways in place. 

What do you of this romantic look? Would you try it for a night out? 

Peaked My Pinterest: Braid Wrapped Chignon

This is hands down the easiest hair style I have ever recreated from Pinterest. When I saw this pin, I immediately fell in love but had no idea it would quickly become my go-to for days I'm in a hurry!

Here is the pin that peaked my Pinterest:

This was my first ever attempt at this style. I had just showered and had 20 minutes to get out the door (and yes, my hair was still wet!). I did a 5 minute blow dry, which really means my hair was still super damp, and using the five steps above I created this hair in 7 minutes flat.

I am in LOVE!

Helpful hints: Use a few bobby pins to secure each side after you tuck the end into the top. Also, use 1 bobby pin on each side to hold braids in place.

Peaked My Pinterest: The Double Braid

I am forever on the hunt for easy hair ideas for super hot days or day 3 of dirty hair, so when I saw this pin on Pinterest, I knew it was perfect for a braid lover like myself.

Although there are a lot of steps, it's super easy and the messier the better! 

I broke it down in a few less steps, starting with the two twisted buns in the back and going from there.

If you can twist, braid, and own bobby pins, this is a look you can easily re-creative. It was complete in under 10 minutes and kept my bangs off my face on a very warm day.
