Bold Fringe: Tuesday How To

Get excited everyone it is Tuesday! So what shall we learn today? Well with summer just around the corner I thought we should learn some quick, casual, summer inspired up do's. So to kick this off we are going to discuss French braiding. Once mastered, it opens the gateway to an endless supply of quick yet super cute and trendy looks. And the beauty of it? There is no need to make it perfect. The loose, messed up, random look is actually the goal here. So first we will go over how to French braid, then I will show you a fun application for what you have learned. Sound good? Off we go then.

There are many different ways to French braid but the one constant is this: it is a simple 3 strand braid and you just add hair to each section as you go. First, part off the section you are going to include in the braid. Then take a small section from the top and divide it into 3 strands. Continue just like your normal 3 strand braid but add hair to each section before crossing it over to the middle.

Ok so now that we know how to French braid...let's use it! This easy do is great for summer. It is adorable and can be done on many different lengths of hair. Today the beautiful Marianne is our model.

1. Side part your hair. Take the 3 strand section from right off your part.

2. Continue braiding down your head, adding whatever random sections you can as you go. There is NO need for perfection here. A random messy look is what we are going for. Also, take pretty large sections, we want a bigger braid, and you will get across the head faster, lessening your work.

3. When you reach the other side of your head, end the braid in a ponytail. Then loop it into a messy bun.

4. Pin random pieces to get the bun just the way you want. Do not spend a lot of time trying to get it just right, we want the thrown together look. So don't fuss with it. Allow your hair to do its thing. For a more elegant look you can also leave the ponytail rather than doing it up in the bun. Try softly curling the pony for a whole different look as well. This is a very versatile do that once you get the hang of, can become your summer go to look. Be patient and practice! And remember, this is meant to be a fun thrown together look. Don't over think it.
