I have extremely unruly hair so I appreciate a hairstyle that takes very little effort but still looks pulled together. Here are the simple steps I took to achieve this style:

1. Part your hair down the middle

2. Make two pigtail braids and secure with an elastic

3.Take one pigtail and bring to the oposite side, use a bobby pin to secure.

4. Do the same on the other side, I used four bobby pins to hold the braids in place

5. Tuck in the ends so they don’t show.

Your finished!

*pull out strands to frame your face before hand. 

Most days I throw my hair into a top knot which takes about 3.5 seconds. This morning I decided to get a little fancy with my comfortable bun and experiment with some braids. If you have mastered a french braid, this will be incredibly easy!

Flip your hair over and gather three bundles at the nape of your neck.

Begin french braiding until you reach the desired height of your bun.

I always am forced into a messy bun by my unruly hair…arggg

Pull any strands of hair to frame your face & your done!!

I am a little obsessed with hair art these days and they always make for some great photography!

Good luck!

My hair is always a disaster when I am at the beach. The wind and the salt water gives me a dreadlock look that needs taming. Here are four styles that can survive any windsurf, kite surf, stand up paddle, or surf session. Head straight from the beach to lunch in town with these cute solutions.

I started by spraying this D.I.Y  beach spray  all through the hair. It gives texture and a summer “straight from the beach” look and feel.

1. The braided crown was too easy. Start by braiding two sections of your hair into pig tails and fasten with elastics. Bring each braid over the crown of your head and secure with bobby pins. Messy looks even cuter!

2. French braids are my favorite for any water sport. They pull back your bangs and keep the hair separated nicely. A way to make the simple braid a little more fun is to turn the french braid into a fishtail once you reach the neck hairline!

3. If you love to surf with your hair down, this is an easy way to keep bangs out of your eyes. Grab the hair as if you are creating a half up-half down look, wrapping it around an elastic like a bun. Again, it is okay if some hair comes loose.

4. This final look may not be for everyone but I think these pigtails are so sweet! Start by twisting the top of your hair and collect sections all the way down while continuing to twist until past the neck. Then, secure with elastic.

Those are my beach hair alternatives! How do you wear your hair to the beach?

I often have trouble securing my braids with bobby pins so they stay in place. The bobby pins end up falling out of my hair bringing the braid down with it (super frustrating!). A clear elastic holds the braid in place without looking to big or chunky while lasting the day! If you have the same bobby pin wars as me, I hope this is a cute solution for you!!

No girl is immune to bad hair days. When your bangs just aren’t working, try tying a light scarf around your head. It’s an adorable, easy accessory and can hide misbehaving hair!
