How to Make Your Braid Pop!

I stole this from the infamous Lauren Conrad.
Easy solution to make your braid flashy again!
So easy,
Just take your hair and divide it into the three strands that you want to braid together.
Take one of the strands and braid that one within itself (if that makes sense).
I use the bottom one so that I can try and braid the layers that are apt to falling out throughout the day.
Then I use a bobby pin and clip that to the bottom of the braid while I braid the 3 original strands together.
Then just tie with an elastic and there ya go!

                           

Here is Lauren Conrad on Chelsea Lately with her hair done in this same simple way!

Super Easy Quick Updo

This was done in not even five minutes! All you need to do is basically just take a good size chunk of hair around your bangs (or where bangs would be) and just make a messy French braid going back towards where your pony will be. Before you put in a pony tail, fluff the braid up a bit by tugging and pulling gently on chunks. The messier the better. I'll attach more pics of it so you get the idea. Play around with it for a while too before you need to pull a hairstyle out of you know where!
Happy Hairstyling:)
