Lately, I've been obsessed with dressing up my hair without heat. I talked before in the CVS haul with the Marc Anthony Easy Lites about how my hair had a lot of split ends and was extremely damaged. I cut my hair a while ago and I've been trying my best not to use any heat. So...I turned to braids.
Braiding your hair doesn't necessarily mean braiding the plain three-strand braid!
There are different kinds of braids such as the waterfall braid, french braid, rope braid, fishtail braid and so on.
I really like the waterfall braid and the french braid is so versatile :) I used to wear my hair using rope braids.
I googled waterfall braid and found a picture that has credits so I don't feel guilty using someone's picture!
I haven't taken a picture of mine yet but I had compliments on it!
Isn't this pretty? You can always curl the ends for a more feminine look.
I waterfall braid my hair both sides of my head and end it with a fishtail braid.
I wish I found out about all these kinds of braids sooner because for my prom, I just pulled the top of my hair back and curled it.
I watched some YouTube videos and managed to french braid my hair into this:
This picture is mine because I blurred out my messy cabinet hahah.
Doesn't this look formal and a bit difficult to do?
I simply french braid along the bottom of my hair and when I ran out of hair to add in, I just finished it off with a three-strand braid. Using the three-strand braid portion, I rolled it up and used two bobby pins to pin it. Extremely simple yet elegant at the same time.
I don't know if I should bother doing a tutorial. I have another tutorial in the making though. Just trying to figure how to put it together!
