Holiday Hair Part 3

Holiday Hair of the week....

 Step-by-Step on Jessica

Step 1. Part hair to the side.

Step 2. Grab a small section of hair.

Step 3. & 4. Split into 3 parts.

Step 5. Start French braiding, making sure to braid diagonally across the head.

Step 6. Secure braid with an elastic hair tie.

Step 7. Split the end of the hair into 3 sections and braid each section (tie off each braid with an elastic)

Step 8.Combine the three braids into one braid going down the side of the hair.

Step 9. Secure into a bun next to or above ear with Bobbi pins. Pulling out pieces to make it loose as you pin.

Extra Tricks

* You should always brush your hair before braiding.  Knots and tangles make it hard for the person braiding your hair. Spritz a little hairspray when you start to make the hair more workable.

* Part on your natural side.  Adjust instructions according to your part.

* Day old hair is best!!  A little grit is good for braids as they hold-up better. Clean hair is too slippery.

*This tutorial was written for someone to braid your hair, not intended for self-braiders. If you are a super expert braider then go for it!

Hair Tutorial Monday!

Linking up with Elise today to bring you the Holiday style for the week:

1.  Begin by separating the side sections of your hair for later.  
2.  Once the side sections are out of the way, put the bottom half in a low ponytail at your nape. 
3. Twist the hair around the ponytail to create a low bun at the base of your ponytail. 
4.  Secure with bobby pins.
5.  Start curling the side sections in fairly tight curls away from your face. I use (Hot Tools curling iron) & Wax Blast for the product before I curl!
6&7. Continue to curl until all the hair left out of the bun has curl. Using bobby pins take 1 inch sections and loosly pin back all the curls into your bun.
8.Gently pull some small hairs out around your face to soften the front and loosen the back to give it a messier feel! 

This low bun is one of our favorite holiday hair-dos! So simple and classy for fun holiday dinner parties with friends and family! Just add some dangling earings and maroon lips to top of this perfect holiday look!
