My hair is super thick, so I get layers cut into it to lighten it up a bit. While layers are great for keeping my hair from giving me a migraine, they're not so great for when I try to wear a braid. I'm sure it's happened to you - pieces falling out, bobby pinning until you can't feel your fingers. Not so pleasant.
Well, here's a solution for when you want a side braid and your hair won't cooperate.
Here's how:
1. Put your headband on so that it goes around the front of your forehead - like you're going to wear it boho style.
2. Take pieces from the sides of your hair and flip them through the headband. I do about two pieces to a side. How much you use depends on how thick you want the braid to be - for a thicker braid, use less hair on the sides so that there's more in the braid.
3. Take the remaining hair and braid it! You can do a regular braid, a fishtail, one of those ladder braids I have yet to master... go crazy.
And you're done! Takes 5 minutes and looks fancy :)
So cute! Love how pretty it looks but seems fairly simple :)
