About and the Basics

So, I decided to start this blog, because I found so many great ideas and hair tutorials for hair, but I had no place to share them!  So I decided to start sharing them here.  Since I'm terrible at showing how to do these, I won't be using my own tutorials, I'll pull my favorite pictures, tutorials, videos. and share them with you.

Let's start with the basics!

If you're stuck in a hair rut, you're sick of using so much heat, and you want some change for you hair, this is the place for you!

Now, if you're going to follow my blog, there are some basics you should now.  They are braid basics, since my favorite hairstyles have to do with braids.

First, the basic braid!


The basic braid is really simple, but if you don't know how to do it, search youtube!

Next is the slightly more complicated french braid.


It's just like a normal braid, but you are pulling more hair in as you go. 

The dutch braid!


I like doing this one more than the french braid, I think its easier.  It's the french braid, but you are braiding under. 

Finally, the fishtail.


It looks intricate, but its actually really simple.  You basically split hair into two sections, and then pull hair from each section and criss cross them.  It really is easy, I swear!


If you don't know how to do any of these styles, they are great to learn.  Just look them up on youtube, and hundreds of tutorials will show up.
