Braided Hair Tutorial + a celebration of Beauty Makers

Hair Q & A

intsit

Even though I’m no longer working behind the chair, I still love the beauty industry and am always seeking inspiration from my hair stylist peers.

Regency Beauty Instutite and Refinery 29 invited me to be a part of their #ShareBeautyContest campaign. They are sharing 5 summer beauty trends, and I was asked to focus on textured hair for the second week of the campaign. The winner of the contest will receive a $2000.00 VIP beauty treatment courtesy of Refinery 29 and Regency Beauty Institute. (official t&c’s here)

So how do you enter the contest? Post a photo of yourself on Instagram showing your take on the trends covered over the weeks and make sure you use #sharebeautycontest in your post! Tag me in any photos you take after trying out the braid tutorial from the video below! I’ll pick a few of my favorites and share them on my Instagram page!

Regency made a really cute video about a girl traveling the world, doing people’s hair as she went. It’s worth a watch.

It was fun to be able to share a bit about my beauty story (which you’ll hear in the video below) and also teach a new braided tutorial!

This looks so sweet. I can’t wait to try this on myself and my two little girls.

If my hair was as fine as fine could be, I would probably wear this braid all summer long. I would do anything for more texture! (The more product I use, the nastier my hair looks!)

I love doing your tutorials on my 5 year olds hair, if only she’d stay still all day so they lasted longer than 20 min 😉

I love your site and wish you were still “behind the chair” 🙂 Would you be able to recommend a good salon to visit in the Raleigh area? I have just moved here and am a bit nervous about finding a new hairstylist in this new city.

Thank you!

Love how easy this looks! I’m the queen of braids and have been getting better with french braiding my own hair, but that can be sooo time consuming with my long, thick, curly hair (my arms get so tired)! I do a similar style like this but with twists, so I’m excited to try this next time! Anything to keep my hair out of my face! Thank you Kate! 🙂

Yay! So glad I can see your posts again! I assumed you weren’t on a break but was very sad I wasn’t able to see anything. Super pretty hairstyle! I just chopped my hair completely short so this might have to wait!

LOVED THIS! Love your love and enthusiasm!! I am 43, almost 44, and have just started within the last year to care about and play with my hair. {Skinnymeg31 on IG inspired me!!} And then I found your blog…and for this ole ma who is VERY hair illiterate, your tutorials teach me so much and now between you and Megan I am starting to ask my awesome beautician questions and she is so supportive and helping me. I work in a glass shop, so my hair is in a ponytail 99% of the time!! Thanks for helping this ole ma get out of her funk every now and then…I even joined this challenge and did my best! It’s not perfect but I tried and love it anyway!! THANK YOU!

You are so enthusiastic!
My hair is a mess, it’s at a length now where I seriously can’t work with, so these braids will come in handy.

Hi Kate, Wanted to ask you something about hair since you are the expert and have a great knowledge. My hair is thinning out. I have always had thick hair but I am seeing that when I wash my hair or brush it lots of hair comes out. What product can you recommend that would help me from losing too much more hair? Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Love all your hair tutorials! Especially because they work for shorter hair where a lot of bloggers only focus on longer hair. Love this hair style and it is great because it can be dressed up or worn casually! Please do more tutorials!
