Inspired by the hair of the Oscars, I was writing an article for MSN.ca "Red Carpet Hair" where I interviewed celebrity hairstylist Dylan K. Hanson on how to get great hair.
The research led me to this gorgeous style by Nicole Ritchie above which is a nice casual cool chic way to wear your hair. I obsessed about it for a while and then I finally tried it this week when I went to iskwe's concert last Wednesday.
I partitioned off a part of my hair and held the rest of it back with a clip. Then I french braided it but without grabbing a lot of hair from the back part of the braid so it didn't get really thick. I french braided until it hit my ear and then put it into a regular braid and kept going until it was long and then tied it with a baby elastic. I put my hair in a side ponytail with an elastic and wrapped hair around and safety pinned it in. Finished it with hairspray and with shine spray and voila I was ready to go.
Then on Friday night I decided to follow the same formula but felt a little weird about doing a bun while going out for Canadian Music Week so I did a thick, loose fishtail braid on the bottom part instead. I think it's kind of cute but with the tank top, sweatshirt, and hoop earrings I kept referring to myself as "Jenny from the block." It was a bit overkill but at least I felt cozy.

Ever so easy to do doll, Back in a few weeks and i'm all yours.
ReplyDeleteAnother easy way to do something similar if you cannot do braids is to take a small section in the front and twist the hair all the way back, secure with a bobby pin or add it to a chignon or pony tail,, tres fresh!
