Hair Tutorial // Snake Braid

I'm not sure what it is about braids but I can't help but love trying out new ones. There are always so many variations to try that it's never boring. I really love this hairstyle because it allows me to wear my hair down while still adding some interest to an everyday look. Doesn't this snake braid look so interesting?? Try it and let me know how it works for you!

1. Start with your hair parted to one side.

2. Take a small section from the top and braid it.

3. From the 3 strands of your braid, grab the middle one and pull up the outer two to the top.

4. It should start to create a "snake" look as you pull up.

5. Pin back and it's ready to wear!

Try It: The Braided Braid

I usually don't experiment too much with my hair either than throwing some pins in it. Even when I work out I leave it down, but every now and then I like to wear it in a braid. Lately my go to hairstyle for the gym has been a braided braid. It's really simple and I like it better than throwing my hair in a pony tail. 

1. Separate hair into 3 sections & braid each

2. Braid all three braids together

Oh and if you are looking for another fun braid, try the Unicorn braid.

How To Do a Unicorn Braid

I've just recently got into playing with my hair more often...braids seem to be my go to thing. Lately I've been learning how to do different types and thought it would be fun to share a few of them with you. This week, I'm starting out with something super easy...the Unicorn Braid (or as some people like to call the Rope Braid...but unicorn is so much more fun). This literally takes no more than a minute and is perfect for those days when you don't have time to fuss with your hair but want to look cute.

Here's How to do a Unicorn Braid.

1. I like to start with my hair straightend but that's up to you.

2. Make your part, I like to do mine to the side.

3. Pull all of your hair to one side.

4. Separate into 2 strands.

5. Twist one of your strands counter-clock wise.

6. Twist the other counter-clock wise as well. I usually just use my mouth to hold the 1st strand.

7. Start your braid by twisting the strands clock wise.

8. Twist all the way down, make as tight or lose as you want. Tie with a rubber band. 

All done, so easy right? And it seriously takes no more than a minute.

I hope you enjoyed this. Next week I'm going to share the 5 strand braid so be sure to check that out.
