Wait & Braid | Double Dutch Braids Into A Ponytail

This is the first time I've worn this hairstyle and I really love it. I usually wear my hair in a side parting but for this style it's parted in the middle. What I like about this style is that you can really make it bouffant if you wanted to glam it up a little. I love this style and it's motivated me to get back into experimenting with more hairstyles again.

I'm getting my hair dyed next week in preparation for my 18th birthday! I'm so excited and I really hope my hair starts looking more blonde! Looking at these pictures has made me realise how long my roots are! I'm still on a misson for long hair - long hair, don't care!

Do you like the double dutch braids into a ponytail?

Wait & Braid | Side Inverted Fishtail.

I think fishtail braids are one of the most popular braids out there and it's easy to see why! The fishtail braid was one of the first braids I ever learnt and it's still one of my most worn hairstyles. The fishtail does take longer to do but it's definately worth learning! This is an inverted fishtail braid and the only difference from the normal fishtail is that you're crossing strands of hair under and not over. All you have to do is split the hair into two sections and keep on getting little strands from each side and crossing under. I know I'm the worst person to explain this but there are lots of videos on Youtube to help you out!

I decided to do this hairstyle on New Years day and instead of the usual I done the braid at the side of my head and left the rest of my hair out of the plait for a different look. I really like it and I think it was a really glamourous but edgy look for the new year.

Hope you all have a wonderful New Year and liked this style too!
