(pardon my roots. getting a touch up tomorrow:) )
Tips!
1. Don't give up half way through if it doesn't feel right. Wait until you finish to see where you "lost" the piece of hair.
2. Have a little bit of product in your hair. (example: hairspray)
3. Smooth out each section of hair as you go. You'll have a cleaner look when you are finished!
Good Luck!

I just found your blog and am SO EXCITED to finally figure out how to do some of these styles. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI can't get it to work! I don't know what I'm doing wrong; I'm following all your instructions... I end up with a braid coming down the front of my head. It's uuuuuber frustrating how incapable I am of doing anything to my hair.
ReplyDeleteI have had this happen before. Are you braiding it to the side? If you braid it to the side instead of holding it straight down it will not be a braid going down the front of your face. Sorry if thats not any help..
Deletethanks! I have been dying to make my gym hair look less gym(ish) and this is perfect... now if only I can make mine look as good as yours!
ReplyDeleteLooks so cute, all your hairstyles are great! You make it look so easy... guess I got some training to do.

I'm going to try this on my daughters tonight when they get home from school. I have been trying to french braid for years and always seem to fail :(
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your hairstyles!! And am so excited that you have my favorite hairstyle that I've never been able to do, on here! The french braid. I watched the video, yet still can not figure out how you are doing it :/ What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteThese are really awesome tutorials!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying for the longest time to get the hang of this technique. Other tutorials I've watched go through it so quickly it's hard to figure out what's being done. This was perfect! I have a French braid in my hair, that I did, for the first time! THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to french braid my bangs forever...finally a tutorial that worked for me! Thanks so much, I was successful on my first try while watching your blog. <3 it!

Thanks so much for your videos and hair styles. I love learning some new things to do with my hair.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you!!! I love your blog!
ReplyDeletethis looks awwwesome.
ReplyDeleteFound your blog via Pintrest. I've always loved a good braid but my mom always had to do it for me, even at 32 years old! I decided it was time to take my hair in my own hands, literally. I could not believe that a 2 minute video could show me the way. After a few views, a bunch of practice braids I figured it out! I have naturally curly hair and don't have short bangs so it took me longer to get the angles right, but I finally did. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and making the video. I'm so excited to go to work tomorrow, if only to show off my sweet new hair braid. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've add this onto my favorites! I love how you actually show them. Thank you so much for all these videos! Keep them coming!! :)
ReplyDeleteI learned how to french braid my hair from this tutorial. Thanks! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to get this braid to work! After the video it worked! A little messy, but I'll clean it up after a few more tries! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI cannot figure out how to get my braid started at my part!!! It's about to drive me crazy! It always starts about an inch away and everyone I see does it like you did and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I'm loving it. I have a question though, I have very thick wavy hair, bobby pins do not hold well, what else can I use?
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE this! I just braided my bangs using your tutorial and it turned out perfectly. Love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I was able to do it on the first try :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I tried it and almost hit it nail on on the first try. I work with kids and am always looking down so this would a stylish and good way to keep my bangs out of my face!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!!! It has helped me learn so many new styles that I can do with my hair!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI actually just did a french braid for the very 1st time thanks to you! I have really long hair and this bang thing is so cute and whimsical. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteWow! I just found your blot on Pinterest and love it! I can't wait to try one of your hairstyles :) these are all styles I've wanted to do but never knew how. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWell, mine doesn't look as good as yours, but I did it! I think you're great! Thanks for all the tips and ideas!! :) I also found your bouncy curled under picture on pinterest and copied your hairstyle! Love it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am literally THE MOST inept person at doing hair (or close to) and was able to [mostly] accomplish this - what?! I think with a little practice I'll have it down. THANKS!
ReplyDeleteMy hair is so flat! How do you get your to look so voluminous?
ReplyDeleteDid this today! Thanks! I love it!! I have tried a few other methods from your tutorials and have a new found fondness for my hair!
ReplyDeleteLove all the tutorials! You make it seem so easy! Guess I'll just keep on practicing! I'm sporting your two twist look today! So far it's the only one that I've been successful with! Lol
ReplyDeleteFeatured this on my blog!! http://craftingformommies.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteyou made that look soooo easy but after 3 hours i STILL cant do it lol
ReplyDeleteI have never been able to do anything neat with my hair until I found your blog. It is like a whole new world now! Thanks for breaking everything down into simple easy to follow steps. I was able to french braid my bangs first try!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
thank you so much I finally curled my hair and french braided my bangs really cute for once!! You don't know how much it helps! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that french braids are back! I was in HS in the 80's and we french braided our hair like crazy! For those of you having trouble, just think of it as you're braiding. Don't overthink! Every time you're going to do a new "crossover", you just need to pick up a little section of hair. It may make it easier if you lie the braid section down to pick up the new extra section of hair to braid over. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteI would also like to know how to get more volume!!!
This was incredibly helpful! Haven't been able to braid my bangs watching any other tutorial but I was able to do it on the first try watching this video! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI loved this! I tried it on my own hair and it worked and looked good! And trust me, I've never been good with hair...
