Wait & Braid | Fishtail Halo Braid

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is having a good day! Finally, the weather here seems to getting warmer. I love Summer and with the sun being out, nothing is more annoying than your hair getting in the way. Introducing the most perfect Spring/Summer Hairstyle, the Fishtail Halo braid. This is such a stunning hairstyle. I've always loved fishtail braids because I think they look so unique and angel-like, especially when the fishtail carries on the whole way around the head to create a halo hairstyle! I won't try explaining this to you because I'm sure I'll make it sound so complicated. I got this style of the amazing Missy Sue. She's my favourite youtube hairstylist and her tutorial video on this braid (x) made achieving this hairstyle so easy!

If you wanted to make the braid look more 'fishtail' instead of a regular braid, just add in thinner strands of hair. This style is one of the more time consuming ones but it's definately worth it. It stays in all day too!

Wait & Braid | Middle French Braid

I've recently discovered a new hairstyle that is amazing for getting your fringe off your face while looking really pretty too! It's called the Middle French Braid - well, that's what I've decided to name it! At the moment I'm loving french braids. I never know if I prefer french or dutch braids better but I  I think french braids look really creative although they are really simple to do. Plus, there are so many hairstyles you can come up with with just a french braid! For instance, you could do this Middle French Braid and tie the rest of your hair up in a messy bun or ponytail to create a different style! Braids make any style look way better, I think so anyway!

If you're not too sure on how to braid, there are loads of tutorials on youtube to look at! I love watching braiding videos :)

 

What do you think of this style? I'd love to know! Have you got any different go-to hairstyles that are simple to do?

Wait and Braid | Half Halo Dutch Braid

This looks like one of the hardest braids out there because it looks so pretty! This is the Half Halo Dutch braid (how cute is the name?) and I know I say this every time I do a braiding post but this has got to be my favourite hairstyle at the moment. It's not hard either. It's just a Dutch braid. The outer strands go underneath the middle strand and this is what makes it a Ducth braid. I might do a picture step by step tutorial on this as I think every girl should know how to do this style!

Should I do a tutorial on this hairstyle?

Wait and Braid | Double French Braids

This hairstyle was inspired by an amazing braiding/hairstyle blog called, Hair Romance! It's based on an Games of Thrones hair style. I haven't watched this but from what I can see the show has some amazing hairstyles in it! (hair envy)! I love this style as it is perfect for getting your hair off your face along with you hair looking creative and beautiful. The style is really simple as this braid is called the French braid which is so easy to do once you've got the hang of it. I recently learnt how to braid and French was the first braid I learnt! All you've got to do is braid each section of hair OVER the middle while adding sections of hair to the outer strands. I've already done so many styles with this braid. That's another reason why I love French braids, they're just so versatile!

I'm still obsessed with exploring new hairstyles but think this double braid is my favourite... so far! There are so many hairstyles out there that I still want to try. Keep watching for more posts coming soon!

Braids | The Simple Plait.

Today's post is going to be a simple post. As I've recently dyed my hair after a hair colouring disaster (yes, I know I've talked about this a lot!) I've been experimenting with different hairstyles. I'm taking advantage of not having roots too! This hair style is perfect as is just so pretty and it keep my fringe on my face. All I do is pull my hair back and plait it, simple as that! Because I've just got it bleached all over, I'm going to wash it a lot less over next couple of weeks so all the natural oils in my hair can come back. Braids and up do's are perfect for disguising greasy hair and simple braids can add so much to your overall look. I love dutch, french and waterfall braids. The are quite tricky to achieve though and sadly take some practise!

As you can see my hair still has a lot of brass and ugly yellow tones in it but this will hopefully be sorted out after my next hairdressing appointment. It's such a hassel having blonde hair because it is such a long process to get the perfect, true blonde. It's been a long time coming to say the least! I'm really thinking about getting it darker because my sister Rachel has just had her hair dyed darker and it looks so beautiful! Post coming soon with photographs! She's still adjusting to it but I think it looks perfect. The blonde I have at the moment seems really unmanageable!
