Top 5 Trends of Summer Daily Feature- Thursday

Today's daily feature is the ever so fabulous braid!  Up-grade your pony tail to a traditional braid to add that extra lush look!  
If you are a really talented braider here's a couple other great styles:

These braids are great, fresh new ways to keep your hair out of your face and still look good!
For those of you who are not an experienced braider and are curious how to even begin to braid your own hair just follow the tutorial below:


  • Style the front of your hair, including bangs, wisps and tendrils, before you begin your hair braid. Divide tangle-free hair into three even sections.

  • Lift your left elbow to shoulder height and make a thumbs-down fist around the left portion of hair. Do the same on the right side, letting the middle portion lie against your spine.

  • Extend your left index finger and hook the right section of hair. Pull it in front of the middle section, letting it slip completely out of the right hand. Grab the middle section of hair with your right hand, pull it to the right side, then resume the thumbs-down fist position with both hands.

  • Extend your right index finger, hook the far left portion of hair and let it slip completely out of the left hand. Shift the portion of hair in your left hand into a thumbs-down fist, then free up the left index finger. Make a thumbs-down fist with your right hand, then use your left index finger to hook the far right portion. Try and keep the tension on each section of your hair braid as even as possible for best results.

  • Continue the process until the braid is complete. To braid very long hair, you may have to free a hand to pull the portions through. Secure the developing braid by pressing your knuckles into it as you shift your hands for the next cross.


  • If you are already familiar with braiding, jazz it up a bit by braiding a piece of leather or ribbon in your hair. This will add a little dimension and texture to your do! Until tomorrow final feature XOXO, Megan
