Summer hair...

When it's hot outside...I refuse to blow dry my hair and prefer to wear it up. Especially since I live in the hot and very HUMID weather! So I have been growing my hair out and I am always trying out new things because I wear it up a lot. Well new to me at least. I get so bored doing the same with it everyday, so today my hair looked like this. I had a few people stop me and ask me who did it and when I told them I had...they wanted to know how. (Plus I need to say...do you know how hard it is to take a picture of the back of your head? It's hard!!)
Start at one side of your head with french braiding and move towards the other side...adding pieces from above and below as you go.
When you get to the other side of your head instead of braiding it all the way to the ends of your hair twist it up so there are a few pieces above the top of the braid and pin it with a bobby pin. I sometimes take a few of the longer layers and make a curl and pin them in. You can make it as messy or as perfect as you like it. I use hair spray (the kind especially for humidity) to hold it all in place. This braid survived my Body flow class and a run tonight. I guess I should have taken pictures of it prior to that! LOL! Hope you had a great Monday!
