Braids are Back!



You've seen the stars wearing them in different styles shapes and sizes over the past couple years, from Lauren Conrad to Taylor Swift and beyond.  Braids have evolved from a way to keep your hair from tangling while you sleep at night (or at least that's why my mom would always braid my hair before bed) to a fashionable style and accessory. 

A few ways to wear braids:

1.  Section off the front 1/3 of your hair from ear to ear.  Tilt your head all the way one side and french braid starting at the opposite side over and secure with bobby pins for a beautiful french braided headband.

2.  Part your hair to the side, french braiding each side and linking the braids in the back and securing with a hair band or bow.   

3.  Part your hair in the center, taking a little section from either side of the part and braid back to the crown of the head secure with bobby pins.  Do another braid on each side and secure.  You can leave the rest of your hair down or tie it up in a ponytail or bun.  This is a great way to wear your hair if you haven't washed it in a couple days  ;)
