Fun side braids with a twist

Braide FEVER!!

Personally, I'm loving these braided styles. My default hairstyle have always been my immortal side braid look & those who knows me would attest that they have seen me sporting that style for sooo long their begging me to update it a bit.

So, in that light, I went on a hunt to check on some braided styles & I actually posted this in my fan page in Facebook, Beauty, make up & so much more (shameless plugging) messy braides, big side braided hair & big wavy curls morphing into ...wait for it.... BRAIDES!!

Can we all find a better way to rock this look?? I hope you guys try this out & make your own version. I am actually going to experiment & post 50 ways to wear braides, and post my attempts in this blog. Good luck to me!

Got these pictures from Glamour.com. Check out their page as well for more things about beauty & of course, so much more!

How to: Natural Curls with volume without heat??

My hair is naturally straight & very fine. Good thing my hair is shiny because its limp & lacks volume. Specially after I washed it. But there is a trick that I do, when I want volume & natural curls, without using lots of products ( mousse & mud dries my hair out ) and the damaging effects of blow dryers. Since I have no curling iron, I'm force to use alternative ways to create a bed head, wavy hair. What I do is, get an atomizer, fill it up with tap water & rock salt. I don't measure, so I just guesstimate it.

I spray it on my damp hair (or even dry, that's fine) & twist my hair in a bun. So while I do my chores & errands, I just leave it alone & give it 3 hours or so. I do this early morning, when I know I have somewhere to go to later that day.

I have a picture to show you the result. My before & after pic!! I sometimes spray on a boost spray ( it gives volume & hold the curls a bit, but not as hard as a Hair spray ) for added volume. The curls looks wavy & natural & it does not scream "I spent hours curling my hair" look. I also don't have the time & patience to curl my hair section by section.

Anyways, I will be posting a tutorial on this soon! watch out for that!!

Try it out & let me know!!

Have fun & Stay Beautiful!!
