Obsession Du Jour: The Braid 3.30.10

The. Braid. Is. Back.







And if those aren't enough braids to convince you. Take a look below!


Everyone from my favorite, Alexander Wang to Miu Miu to Rachel McAdams is rocking the side braid. I, for one love this look. So great and easy for the hot weather. The braid however isn't your grandmothers braid. Its messier, sexier and all around HOTTER.

Some tips on how to achieve this:

1. Preferably braid your hair on unwashed hair, give it a day. You dont want that shiny soft feel to it.
2. Side Part your hair.
3. Tease it at the crown a bit.
4. Bring all your hair to one side and start plaiting.
5. One the braid is done. Messy it up a bit!

VOILA!

I for sure will be rocking this... will you?

  10. My hair is too short for side braiding like this... I can do little fringe braids though. Can I be cool too?
