Top 5: Braids

In high school I see a lot of different looks that girls try out on their hair. Some of them look really good and others are really bad with some people just as average students. I am just amazed at some of the students I see in the hallway with these really intricate hair dos. I get a big kick out of seeing how bad people can screw up their hair on the other end of the spectrum as well.

1. Boho Braid: This braid is usually done on the side of your head and involves only a small portion of your hair. A Bohemian braid hairstyle is a perfect choice because: It can easily be done by yourself. It can camouflage the fringe of your hair while it is growing. It can camouflage greasy roots or messy hair.
2. Waterfall: I think that this braid type is the ultimate fairytale look. It just takes some steps to make this braid. Grab a chunk of your hair from the front, bring it towards the back of your head and divide it into 3 pieces. Bring the bottom piece over the middle piece, and then the top piece over the middle piece (like starting a regular braid). Grab another piece of your hair from the top and add it to the top piece of your braid. Bring the top piece (the one you added to) over the middle piece. Grasp the bottom piece with your pinky. Drop the piece you have on your pinky, and get another piece from the bottom (to replace it). Bring the new piece over the middle piece. Continue doing this until you get halfway around your head and pin with a bobby pin. Do the other side, and now you're done.   
3. Fishtail: I love making fish tail braids. They are the easiest thing to do. All you do is part two large strands of hair hear the crown of the head. Place an elastic tie here in order to make a makeshift ponytail, then begin to braid the two strands together. Start by holding both strands separated in your left hand. Take a small strand from the right and cross it over. Follow this by switching the hands holding the hair and moving a strand of hair from the left to the right. Continue this until you have the braid as long as you like and place an elastic tie to hold it in place.
4. Rope Braid: Begin by parting the hair like a fishtail braid. After you have done this take the right strand, twist it a little, then cross it over the left. Repeat this process with the new rightmost strand until the rope braid is as long as you like then tie it off with elastic.
5. Side Braid: These braids are super cute and so easy to do. To create a side braid, start beneath the ear and separate three strands of hair, or more if you’re feeling adventurous. Weave these strands together by slipping one strand between the other strands.
