A Hairstyle for Spring!

If you read my recent updated hair routine post, you know that I'm pretty set in my ways when it comes to my hair---I always wear my hair down at work and either blown-out or curled with a curling iron, depending on the day.

When I saw the video below by It's Judy Time, I thought the braided headband look was really cute for spring. I was a little intimidated to re-create it because it looked complicated at first glance.  I watched the video a few times and followed it step-by-step and found that the trickiest part was creating the twists with the clockwise/counter-clockwise turns and pinning them into place. But I think the effect it gives is worth the extra time you'll spend perfecting them!

Several of my coworkers noticed my new do today so this is definitely a fun look if you're like me and you hardly ever switch it up.




I used my Hot Tools curling iron to create the curls, a teasing comb and my L'Oreal Elnett hairspray (the same hairspray Judy used in the tutorial). This style would be perfect for spring and summer weddings and I like that I can still wear my hair down but with added interest and texture. 

The finished look!

I think there are lots of ways this style can be adapted too---like creating the twists and then pinning them to either side of your hear versus making a "faux headband" or just doing twists on one side and leaving the other side loose.
