Braided Hairstyles

When it comes to my hair I am very simple and casual on a daily basis. I don't roll out of bed and go or anything but I dont spend massive amounts of time on it either. Thus being the reason why I love throwing in a braid, not only does it add interest to a hairstyle but it takes it up a whole bunch of notches. I love how easy the braid is wether its a french braid, fishtail or maybe waterfall. They all make any hairstyle look unique and fun! Here are some of my favourite go-to styles!

Hot town, Summer in the city....My Summer Hair styles 2011

So I am totally in love with summer and everything that it has to offer, except unruly hair due to humidity. Don't get me wrong I love a "I just rolled out of bed" but controlled look. But totally not the "out of control can't do anything but put on a hat" look. So, this summer I am all about trying out cute new casual updo's for those "unruly" days. With the current heat streak we are having, this tends to be quite often. But I wont complain about heat when its all I want when we have 4 feet of snow.

I was browsing the web for some inspiration when I came across some fabulous styles that I just had to try. For some reason I am drawn to any style that involves a french braid. Not only is it a fabulous way to keep control of your fly aways, but it also adds a little "je ne sais quoi".

A side braid and low side bun...one style I am sporting a lot of this summer. I opt for a messier braid when wearing this style casually.

Enjoy!
