Hair du Jour Day 80: March 20, 2012
Braid Headband
How to do it:
I think I told you before how much I have trouble making braids by my face because of my crazy hairline (think Frankenstein). I side-stepped this issue by choosing a piece from underneath my hair to begin with (think of where a headband would be on your head and choose a small piece from underneath there. French braid up (hard to do at first...tilt your head over if it confuses you like it did me!) adding VERY small pieces in. You can tuck bangs behind your original underneath piece and they stay very well. When you get level with your part on the top of your head allow your braid to lay down. Begin using small pieces to French Braid it onto your head (think sewing). When you have reached the other side of the top of your head stop French braiding and continue to braid to the tips of your hair. Secure with a tiny elastic.
Time to do it: About 5 minutes
I am so pumped that I actually pulled this off. I have seen this all over in magazines and on cuties around town. Success! Is mine! (fist pump!) <3
