2012 hair trend alert: braiding will still be huge. Find creative ways to bring them into your style! We did a French braid to secure the long layers around Evan’s face, then wrapped a big strand of her own hair to conceal the elastic band.

Millie the horse. What a beauty. Thanks to my friend, Maliah, for sending me this photo! She knows how much I’m loving braids right now.

Day 16/21: Side Fishtail Today I have the privilege of styling hair for Maude Boutique’s photoshoot with some of the top bloggers in our area: Ashes of Laughter, Blonde Ambition, Smith and Emma, NWA Motherload, and Tulip Louise!!! I’ll post pics later :). I did manage to sneak my own style in there too.. Today I threw in some Moroccan Oil and loose waves to start. Then pinned back my long bangs with a bobby pin. From there, I took 2 large pieces of hair and fishtail braided then along the side. As always, I hid the elastic with my own hair and finished with my favorite hairspray, Davines No 7 Crystal Fixative Lacquer For Wizards.

Beautiful Bride

This weekend my beautiful cousin, Veronica, got married and I was honored to be a bridesmaid and her stylist :) 

Unfortunately, we were so busy getting all the girls ready so I missed the opportunity to snap pics… but I got one more of her niece, Noelle.

Congratulations Veronica and Jordan!!!

Day11/21: French braided bangs… Braiding your bangs back is a great way to keep long layers out of your face.. Plus, it’s just cute! I added some waves to my hair using a 1” barrel curling iron, and did a little teasing at the crown to start. Leaving the natural part, I loosely braided my hair a little past my ear, secured with a small elastic, and wrapped hair around to hide. Then I tugged at the braid a little to loosen up a little more.

Day 9/21: Not Just a Top Knot… Today I attempted to combine the top knot and boho braid! I pulled the front section of my hair in a pony on top of my head and secured with an elastic. Then, with my head flipped over, I reverse French braided up the back of my head to meet the high ponytail. I combined them and twisted it into a top knot! The upside down braiding was a little challenging, but I love the way the reverse braid gives texture.
