Bohemian Fishtail Hairstyle

It’s already March y’all! It’s hard to believe we’re this far into 2019. I’ve been very busy lately with traveling and school (which has made time go by even faster!), and haven’t had time to do a post; but I am back today with a spring hairstyle for you guys! It’s very simple to do, and is definitely giving me some bohemian vibes. You can wear it dressy, casual or anywhere in between. This might even become your new “go to” hairstyle. I won’t stall anymore so let’s jump right into it! ⇒

Bohemian Fishtail Hairstyle

Step #1

I am doing this style on curled hair but straightened would look cute as well! Take a section of hair from the front of the head on both sides of the part. Then twist them to the back of the head and tie together with an elastic.

Step #2

Repeat step one. Take a section of hair from the front of the head right below the first section on both sides of the part. Twist them back and secure with an elastic.

Step #3

Grab a section of hair from behind the twists. Divide the section into two pieces and fishtail braid it. After you are done braiding, tie it off and pancake (pull/fluff out) the braid or any other part of the style you want to adjust.

And that’s it! Hairspray, bobby pin, and tug where ever you prefer to wrap it up.

Half-Up Faux Hawk Tutorial

The “half-up faux hawk” is a fun take on just a normal half-up hairstyle or french braid, because it combines the two styles (with a little extra flair of course) into one super cute style that can be worn pretty much anywhere and anyway! Back to school, or a night out, dressed up, dressed down…possibilities possibilities! The faux hawk hairstyles in general are so cute and have a funky, bold, edgy and elegant look all in one! Here’s how to do it⇒

Step #1

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

For this style, I went with straightened hair, but curled looks cute too. So first, straighten or curl hair.

Step #2

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Take a section of hair from the top of the head (from the ear to the side part of the section should be about 2-3 inches on each side), and tie it off to keep it out of the way for now.

Step #3

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Take the two sections from the side of the head (right under the top section) and pull them back and tie together.

Step #4

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Now french braid the top section.

Step #5

Last step is to do the finishing touches! Pancaking the braid (pull out/fluff out) is the most important last step. This really makes the french braid stick out like a faux hawk, and it gives more volume. Hairspray those stubborn pieces, and (if you would like it to be more secure) you can bobby pin the pulled back section and the french braid.

And you’re finished with your half-up faux hawk!

Pull-though braid hairstyle♥

Hello everyone!

This hairstyle is a great one if you don’t know how to french/dutch braid or even braid in general! The pull-through braid looks like a dutch braid but with a slightly different look. The “braid” itself  is bigger/fluffier (is that even a word?!?) than a regular dutch braid. There are some more differences in these styles you can see in the pictures below:

Now I’ll show you how to do it!

The supplies you’ll need:

P1010457.JPG
Spray dry shampoo before so the hair is textured (optional). The hairspray is for fly away’s at he end (again, optional). You also will need a lot hair elastics…. a lot.

Step #1

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Make two sections of hair at the top of the head, pretty close together.

Step #2

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Split the bottom section in two pieces and….
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Pull the top piece though them and tie with elastic.

Step #3

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Flip the “braid” we just made up, and add a section of hair to the bottom piece. Tie with an elastic.

Step #4

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Now do the same thing again. Split the bottom piece in two…
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Pull the top section through them and tie with elastic. Keep doing these same steps until you reach the neck.

Step #5

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
When there is no more hair to add in (like shown above), just do step #1 and #2, skip #3 (adding hair to the bottom section).
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
So, splitting the back section, pulling the top through them, tie with elastic, repeat.
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Keep braiding/pulling-through until you’ve run out of hair. Fluff and pull to make it seem fuller and…. FINISHED!

TIP: When you are gathering sections, keep the them relatively close together.
