Hair du Jour Day 89: March 29, 2012
Extremely Loose Crossover Pin Half Up
How to do it:
Take one 1/2 inch strand from left and pin on right slightly right of middle. Make sure the eye part of your bobby pin is on the bottom and the "feet" of your pin are pointing up to the sky (this will be important later) Take a piece from the right and pin left. Repeat twice more (4 crossover pins total). Braid one strand on right and pin left. All should be in the half up range. See top photo. Over the course of the day gravity will kick in and you will get a looser Boho style like the one in the second picture. It was good even after I took a nap on the couch. The more it fell the better.
Time to do it: 2 minutes
I can't tell you how many compliments I got on my hair today. It went very well with the flowy-ness of my skirt. It seemed like the more messed up it got the more people thought it looked beautiful. The trick was that I didn't pull all of the hair away from the front of my face...I left a good amount near my face (see bottom photo). Suhweet.
