adding a braid or two to your hair is one of the easiest ways to give your hair a little something extra. variations of the style have been seen on runways and celebs like Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie, Lauren Conrad and Kristen Stewart sport braided styles frequently.
for summer, it's not just little girls who can wear braids. they offer a little change and work fabulously day or night (you may also find a braid helpful during odd growing-out-the-hair stages). one style in particular that i love (and wear often myself) is the headband braid. it's quick and simple, really! take a look...
*first, take a horizontal line two inches back from your hairline and separate that front section of hair. leave the rest loose.
*then, starting at the left side of the head, just above your ear, french braid until you reach your right ear.
*finally, secure the braid with an elastic and tuck the ends behind your right ear. style the rest of your hair as you wish.
Women's Heath Magazine features how to get this style as well as other twisted and braided styles in their current current july/august issue, on newstands now. you can see a how-to slideshow online by clicking here.
