Braids

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

I’m all about simple chic, that’s why I’m loving the Braid! You may have recently seen this side styled braid look on celebrities and on the runways, it’s a classic and easy hairdo! The messier the look the better, so ruff it up and tease it! To achieve that perfect styled look, braid your hair the night before and awake to your messy side parted braid!

I'm glad my mom taught me how to braid my hair. I usually do it on my lazy days. :)

My hair is naturally wavy and voluminous but sometimes it can fall flat. I haven't tried teasing it before wearing it in a braid but is there a less-painful way to do it? shela.tat@gmail.com

Should you braid the night before with wet or dry hair?

There's so much that you can do with braids! I like to wear mine towards the side and add a bow, it looks great, it's easy, and does get me the occasional compliment! (:

Aw, I have tried to braid my hair before, but I have so many layers in my hair that a lot of random hair pops up : (

Braids are great! They look so chic and last all day! You can even play it up for the night take your hair down and it's instant curls! Great post Achelle!

I love side braids, andy braids really! I actually wore a side braid today! I think a really cute look is like a lauren conrad braid in the front down the side, then clipping that back, then having your messy/neat side braid. I wore that today and got a lot of complements.

I love braids! They are so simple yet they can make you look classy or casual. My favorite type is the side braids or braids that crown your head like a headband. They actually do have headbands with fake hair braided and they look pretty nice! Real hair, or headband, I love them both! This one is my favorite: http://blog.pricegrabber.com/chicshopper/files/2008/07/braids.jpg

Braids really are so versatile! The only problem is that my hair is super layered and when I braid it, it becomes undone too fast. But side braids are super cute..!

Oh the simple look is great! This style is definitely amazing, especially for those who doesn't always get up on time and have enough time to get ready (like myself). And I definitely agree with you about the messier it looks the better :) ;) You should try braiding a layered wavy hair, it looks great!

I love messy, beach-tousled braids. They're so effortless and sexy, not to mention flattering. I love that they don't require perfection, and there are so many ways to braid your hair. Also, if you braid your hair in the morning, you can undo your hair before you go out at night for cute waves!
