Side Braids

For someone like me, who has trouble coming up with interesting things to do with my hair, the side braid is the answer. Loose and a bit sloppy, but oh so stylish. Recently seen on the runway and the red carpet, this look can be sweet and sassy at the same time. Personally, I prefer the side braid for mornings that I want to roll out of bed, put as little effort as possible into getting ready, and head out the door.

*Side Braid Tips*

*Remember to use a little hair spray before braiding your hair so it will last a little longer.

*Don’t make the braid tight, it’s supposed to be loose.

*If a few strands fall out during braiding, don’t try to tuck them back in. Messy is a Must!

*Tie the braid with a small clear elastic.

*Keep it simple.
