Generally, I tend to stick to my standard of curling my hair in the winter and letting my natural wavy texture take precedence in the summer, but sometimes you just want it off your neck or you want to try something new or you're just having a bad hair day! And that, my friend, is where braids and fishtails and twists come in to save the day.
This is one of my favorite styles to wear when I need to get my hair out of my face but still want to look cute. Only pulling half my hair back gives me a chance to show off whatever earrings I'm wearing and keeps me from touching it constantly.
I made this short video to show you how it's done. It's my first ever hair tutorial, so I'm by no means an expert; but I thought it would be helpful to see it in action rather than just still photos!
Let me know if you try this hairstyle, and tag me on instagram so I can see! Do you have any hair tutorials you'd like to see?
PS. Check out my french v. dutch braids post!
Such a gorgeous style! I must try it myself 🙂
I love this look – simple and incredibly chic!
LOOOVE this style idea! It’s so chic!

I adore this hair style, I seriously want to try it for work today!
This is so cute! I wish I had enough hair for this!
Such a cute and fun look! I’m looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for sharing!
You are beautiful and I love this hairstyle! I’m not so handy at doing my own hair, so I can’t wait to give this a try. It seems super easy!
I love, love, love this look! I also like how you provided pictures, as well as a video. I’m trying to incorporate video into my blog this year, but hearing my own voice has been a bit scary, haha!
If I’m being honest, I was uncomfortable hearing my own voice too. Hopefully as I do more tutorials, I’ll learn to live with it!
Your hair looks so cute!
I wish that I was better at doing my hair so that I could imitate this.

Thank you; it just takes practice!
What a beautiful braid! I always find myself leaving my hair down — love this alternative!

I tend to just leave mine alone most days too, but sometimes I just want something extra that’s not too difficult!
I’ve always loved the way this looks and now I feel like I might actually be able to do it! Seriously this is a great tutorial so I’m saving it!
xoxo
Thank you! Let me know if you do!
