3 fresh braids to try this minute!

Start spring with a new ’do. We’ve found three fab new ways to wear cute braids—all straight from the stars!
 
The Top Braid
We’re obsessed with Kate Bosworth’s take on the high bun. To start, take a 2-inch wide section of hair at the top of your hair and make a wide braid, working toward the back of your head. Tie off the braid and pull it back with the rest of your hair into a bun at the crown of your head. So sweet and romantic—we love how Kate paired hers with florals and lace.
 

The Side Braid
Lauren Conrad updates her bitty braid for a messy French side braid—still casual, but ultra-chic. Make a deep side part and gather all your hair over to one shoulder. Craft a French braid on the side of your head, and tie off the end with a ribbon, cord or elastic. Buff in a bit of dry shampoo to give it some texture, and finish with a shot of hairspray. Perfect party look!
 
 
The Double Braid
You’ll need longish hair for this look. To get Jessica Alba’s no-fuss style, create a center part and divide hair into two sections. French braid each section all the way to the end and tie them off with a hair band. Attach each of the ends to the opposite side of your head with a bobby pin, and tuck in the ends.  Laid-back glam at it’s best!

MOD MOD I really like putting my hair in a bun (Not tight) because its like the only way my hair looks perfectly good in, I'm just scared that it will cause breakage and damage, can I still wear my hair in a bun everyday or would that damage my hair? Thankkks!

 

Hey girl. I think it's totally fine to wear your hair in a bun every day just make sure it's not too tight or pulling on your hair line. Also, you could keep an eye out for a shampoo that protects hair against damage. Buying a shampoo or a conditioner definitely sounds like it would be a good investment for you.

MODMODMOD!
this may sound weird but i cannot get my hair to curl. i have
stick straight hair and i've tried like 5 different types of curlers, a 1 inch barrel curling iron, and even a straightening iron.I have also read through all the articles about hair that have been posted on this website in the the last 6 months. I've also asked my hair stylist, she told me but it takes about 2 hours to do. I have about an extra hour in the morning. Any ideas of what i can do?
thanks in advance,
L
ps sorry about the length! Smile




Hey babe,

I am SO with you there! You could try braiding your hair at night when it's slightly damp (not wet) and see how that looks in the morning. The thing that worked best for me was putting in sponge curlers the night before, then taking them out and spraying a TON of hair spray on the curls the next morning. But sometimes our hair is just stubborn and won't do what we want. If that's the case, try to embrace it and find gorgeous hairstyles that do work for ya!

MOD!! My prom is coming up soon and I can't get my hair, make up or nails done. I have no clue what would look good or how to do it. Can you give me suggestions? thanks Laughing

 

 

Hey girly! Prom is a time to have fun and glam it up! That being said, long hair down with waves or curls always looks pretty. Or, you could pull your hair back into a big bun and put a flower in it. As for makeup, you could do a smokey eye with light pink or nude lips, or a deep lipstick (like red), with a lighter eye. And for nails, I'd go neutral, as opposed to bright.

I have layers so it's really hard to braid my hair to the side. I've tried bobby pins and everything but it still ends up falling out and looking funky due to my layers. Is there anyway I can prevent it from falling out and make it look cute without hairs sticking out because of my layers?




Hey girlie,

I totally understand how hard it is to braid when you have layers!  I would suggest either doing it when your hair is still wet, or applying some type of mousse or product to keep hair somewhat "glued" together...check out different products at stores like Target or Walmart.  However, sometimes, it's just impossible to braid with layers.  I would suggest trying smaller braids on the top of side of your head...or if nothing else works, I would suggest trying other cute styles for your hair...or try accessories like headbands or pins!

MODMODMODMODMODMODMODMOD I have frizzy, wavy, thick hair. I love-LOVE-love my hair when it is straightened, but then I take a shower and it turns frizzy and wavy again! any ways to keep it straight even when it gets wet? And i was also wondering when the next GL issue is coming out? i have been d-Y-ing to read it! thank you!

 

 

Hey girly! I'd try using some argon oil... it can be found in Moroccan Oil, which is a little pricey and can be found at most beauty salons. Or, you can get a cheapie version of Moroccan Oil at Sally Beauty Supply for only about $5. Just ask them where the argon oil is, and they can point you in the right direction. Make sure not to use a lot though... a dime-sized amount will do the job! As for the next GL issue, I'm not positive, but I'd imagine soon! Smile
