I'm loving the braid trend right now (along with everyone else on pinterest) so here is a simple way to pull your hair out of your face with some braids! It can be done on almost any length hair (if you can pull it half up without braids, you can probably pull it half up with braids!).
Refer to this post to see what's in my hair.
**I'm wearing a new lip color by MAC called Bare Again.
**If you want to cover the bobby pins a little more, like I did, just grab a bit of hair near the pins and pin them so they cross over and hide the original pins.
(Like my new francesca's bag? $16.00 baby! On clearance and then marked down even further!)

Love it! Thanks!
ReplyDeletevery cute!!! I need to be more creative with my day-to-day hair styles haha.
ReplyDeletelove the outfit too! :)
Another great style option!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved braids, but haven't wore them in years because of my age. This is a nice way to sneak it into my style rotation when I let my hair go curly.

ReplyDeletesuper cute love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the name of the necklace you are wearing so I can buy one? I couldn't find it on your etsy shop. I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy email is ashleyruns@gmail.com :) Forgot to include it in the last comment! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI envy your curls!! My hair can never keep the curls.
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with your blog! I came to it via Pinterest. I love your hair and look at your blog daily :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, ok, I just tried the formspring thing and I'm not computer smart enough to figure it out so I'll just post here - sorry :(
ReplyDeleteI'm getting my haircut this week and was wondering how you would currently say your hair is cut? And also the bangs...I have bangs but they aren't working well, I think my last cut on them was terrible! Thanks!
So I tried to do this, but my hair is growing out from a graduated bob, and it wouldn't work, so I decided to do a "bangs" twist with bobby pins and it turned out really cute! Basically just on one side. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI want to buy the necklace and earings from your site. I couldn't find them on there though! Let me know how I can purchase! my e-mail is malz0722@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteThanks & great post~!

I would LOVE to learn how to do a waterfall braid across the top of the head.. I can't figure out what to do with the hair that I end with in the front.. You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love braids too and this is a great style! So pretty. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI love your necklace! Did you make it and where can I get one?!? Love your website btw:)
ReplyDelete@Steph B: we aren't taking any custom orders at this time, but after the holidays you can send us a message if you are interested!
ReplyDeleteHow do you always look so darn cute?!? I know you post videos, but my hair never seems to look like yours at the end :( I buy all the stuff and do all the tips...sigh.....I'll just watch the videos and do my best. I asked for a new blow dryer and straightner for Christmas...HA!! Maybe that will help me out. Thanks for all the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteKate, do you have a link to where you found the bag?
ReplyDeleteYou are featured on New Nostalgia's Anti-Procrastination Tuesday! Again--lol. My readers love you. Thanks for linking up!

ReplyDelete@Dawn: it doesn't have a style #! Sorry!!
ReplyDeleteHey Kate, thanks for linking to my party last weekend! Your braids are a hit, and will be featured at my party tomorrow night :)
ReplyDeleteI love your hair ! I have tried to style mine with the curls you have but I dont understand how to get my hair after I curl it and try to give it volume to not be so frizzy. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them !!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog & all the awesome hair tips! when it comes to styling my own hair I like the "pull it up in a messy bun & slap a headband on for some bling" look. having 100 thumbs, and curly hair isn't always conducive to a great styling experience. your tutorials are super easy and actually make me want to spend time doing my hair again! thanks do much for sharing :0)

ReplyDeleteI love your hair and your blog. I am too afraid to cut my hair that short, but is there a way that I could get more volume or a cut like yours with longer hair my hair is a little longer than chest length?? I would also love to have side bangs but I am afraid they will bug me I think they are so so cute though. Any tips would help thank you!
ReplyDelete@Ramblings: product will definitely help with volume on longer hair, and the way the layers are cut! Try volumizing products to help with lift!
ReplyDeleteI've been doing this hairstyle for awhile now only I do it by french braiding my bangs into the braid on that side of my head. I think it adds a nice touch and gets those annoying bangs out of my face for the day :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty! Especially from the back! I'm so glad I found your blog (I googled hot tools curling hair tutorials)!
