Yeah, we know you’re tired of the same ol’ pony and messy topknot. Why not try your hand at a fresh braid? We’ve got four so-pretty braids that show off maximum style with minimum effort. Honest!

    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.

How can I make my club more popular? PLEASE ANSWER <3

 

Hey girl!

My advice would be to check out other clubs and comment, telling them to check out your club! Go to other posts and friends' pages and recommend your club to others! You should get a lot of popularity through that!

I got my hair cut short over a year ago and i liked it until a few months ago.My mom said i cant get extensions so is there anyway to make my hair grow fast?

 

Hey cutie!

Aside from eating a balanced diet and staying as healthy as possible, there's not much you can do. Try avoiding straighteners, curling irons, and other hair tools that may cause hair damage. Eat healthy, take your vitamins, and wait it out! You could always try getting another haircut and trying a new "do" that you might like better than the one you have now, but if you want your hair to grow longer, unfortunately you're gonna have to wait. If you really don't like the way your hair looks normally, try braiding it or putting it up in ways that you don't normally try. Good luck girly!!
