Hair of the day: Rose bud braid bun

     Hey guys, it's another HOTD post! Today, it's a rosebud-style braided bun.

    I know, it looks kinda hard to do, but I've found this great video that explains it all. In the video, this awesome youtuber explains every step in great detail, so it's easy for you to understand and copy. You basically do a half-french-braid to the secions of hair around your head, and you normal-braid the tips of your hair. You repeat this process with another braid, and this way you have two braids, which you wrap around your head, creating this great romantic rode-bud hairstyle. But I'm crappy at explaining, so watch the video instead.

    Although it looks really complicated, it takes about 15 minutes to do, tops. It looks amazing, summery, and casual, although it shows that you put in a lot of efford, haha. 

     Plus, you have an awesome benefit from it - after you undo it, your hair will be all curly. You'll have some pretty beachy waves, so you'll have great looking hair two days in a row (wow! success) with just a 15 minute hairdo.

    Hope you guys like it, and find the video and pictires helpful!

Hair of the day: waterfall braid.

  
 A hairstyle that I love recently is the waterfall braid. My friend Damyana (who has gorgeous hair, by the way) has provided me with some awesome pictures of this looovely hairstyle, which I'm going to show you how to recreate.

    So, firstly, you have to prep your hair for braiding (washing, conditioning, blow-drying etc).

    Then, proceeed to sectioning your hair. First, part it in the middle and then, starting form your forehead, section one third of your hair, then divide this selection into three parts. 

    And this is where it gets tricky xD. Start off like your braiding a French braid. Now, you'll be creating that lovely, flowy "waterfall effect", by dropping the last strand of the first braid section.

     Pick up a new section of hair that's next to the section you’ve released to replace that staction.

Continue in the same pattern as long as you like your braid to be, and voila! You have a flowy, cascading waterfall braid. We've finished it by curling with a flat iron, to create that princess-like effect!
