    Classic chic like Selena Gomez 

    How-to: Pull all your hair to one side and braid normally. Finish with an elastic that matches your hair color and use fingers to gently loosen the weave a bit. This look is super cute and totally wearable anytime—perfect for the beach because it keeps the hair outta your face or rock it for a night out, like Selena.

    Fabulous fishtail like Vanessa Hudgens:

    How-to: Rock a casual fishtail with a center part like Vanessa Hudgens—a looser braid is perf for the pool. Or get fancy—just pull back your bangs back and rock a bump!  A cute hair tie accessory makes your style unique.

    Accessorize it like Bella Thorne:

    How-to: Intertwine a ribbon through your hair or tie one at the end of your braid to add a pop of color and style to your look, like Bella Thorne. It’s super easy: Just choose one of the three sections and braid the ribbon in with that section!

    Crowned cutie like Elle Fanning:

    How-to: Get fancy with a cool crown braid. Elle Fanning looks simply elegant—plus, it keeps your hair away from your face. Check out our tutorial HERE.

#1. how do u do a fishtail?
#2. i would LUV to do more hairstyles than just ponytails, wearing it down, & putting it in a bun... but its SOOOO hard; i think my hair hates me cuz it wont do braids or anything else even mildly easily.
my hair is wavy & past my shoulders (so kinda armpit length). im also trying to grow out layers.
How do i make my hair more maneageable??? HELP!




hey girl--

1. to learn how to do a fishtail bread, check youtube for tons of How-to videos. 

2. Try buying hair products meant for girls with your hair type. Next time you get a haircut, ask the stylist for her best tips for managing your hair. 




best of luck!

what about layered hair? i try all the time to do a braid but it just doesnt come out right! My hair is layered aznd i have side bangs how do i make a good braid with layered hair?

 

Hey girl! Try a french braid or smaller braids that you can pin back.  Let your bangs stay out of your braid and frame your face! xoxo
