Summer Hair Challenge: Days 27-29 and 31-33

Hey Girls! I hope you had an awesome 4th of july! These are the days you missed! I hope you have an awesome next two weeks too, because I am going to be on a trip and I won't have any internet access for a while. I will update you as soon as possible when I get back, but until then I hope you have a fabulous time!
Have an awesome day!

 Day 27:
This is a hairstyle that I loved this week because it worked great for the super hot weather. It kept my hair off my face and my neck and out of the way! It also looks super cute and intricate which makes people ask you how you managed to do it!

 1. Section your hair into a triangle with the smallest point starting at the bottom right "corner" of the back of your head, and make the triangle get bigger and bigger as you go toward the top of your head. Stop when you get to just past the temple on the opposite side.
2. Put all of the rest of your hair into a ponytail out of the way.
3. Begin french braiding your hair starting in the bottom corner and braiding upwards. This is easiest if you flip your whole head upside down  and braid down toward the floor.
(But make sure you only add hair to the bottom section!!)
4. Once you reach the end of the sectioned off hair, continue braiding normally until you reach the ends of your hair. Secure the braid with a small hair binder.
5. Let loose your ponytail you made earlier and do the same triangle section thing you did before, only make sure it is smaller, and pretend like the first braid you made is the bottom of your head. Keep in mind, this section will be shorter, so you'll start the regular braid earlier.
6. Secure the second braid with a small hair binder. Let loose the rest of your hair that you have left and make a super smooth ponytail at the top of your head.
7. Twist and pin in place to create a topknot with the ponytail.
8. Take the second braid you made and wrap it around the base of the bun and pin in place.
9. Repeat with the other braid.

 Day 28:
This hairstyle is one that takes only a couple of seconds to do, and it makes your hair look a little fancy, and keeps your hair out of your face, and is great if you are trying to grow your bangs out.

 1. Create a deep side part.
2. Section off your hair from the crown of your head down in straight line.
3. French braid your hair starting at the part, going down to about the level of your ear.
4. Secure with bobby pins by criss-crossing them.
(I used about 5 to hold my hair because it has no texture and is relatively thin.)

 Day 29:
This hairstyle is one that has been circulating through the media recently. It is a super simple hairstyle that only takes a couple of minutes to do and looks very Swedish/Norwegian.

 1. Separate your hair into two sections by creating a middle part and separating all of your hair into two pigtails.
2. Braid both of the sections into pigtail braids right behind your ears.
3. Secure with small hair binders.
4. Pull up both of the braids to the top of your head and tuck the ends under the braids coming from the other direction.
5. Pin in place.

 Day 31:
This is a great hairstyle that doesn't take very long, and looks super fancy, but also a little effortless if you give it more of a slightly messy look, like I did for the pictures.

 1. Take a section about an inch to 1 1/2 inches large from your part at the front of your head.
2. Twist the front section over the back one (away from your face)
3.Take the new front section and add hair from the front of your head to it.
4. Twist that section over the new back section.
5. Repeat until you get to the opposite side of your head.
6. Make a rope braid when you run out of hair to add in and secure with a small hair binder.
7. Twist the rope braid up to just under your ear and pin in place to create a bun.

Day 32:
This is a hairstyle that is similar to the Katniss braid, but is more of a fancy version because you tuck the end of the braid into the braid on the back of your head.

1. French braid your hair starting at the beginning of the back of your head on the left side. Make sure it is loose.
2. Braid until you get to the bottom right side of your head.
3. Braid regularly until you reach the ends of your hair and secure with a small hair binder.
4. Tuck the braid in the opening under your french braid.

Day 33:
This is the hairstyle I did today! It is one that is a variation of a braided hairstyle I saw a while ago, but it is not exactly the same. I gave it my own twist. Literally :)

1. Section off the hair starting at about the middle of the top of your head to the crown of your head.
2. Make a french braid starting at your part. (Make sure the braid is pulled down and a little away from your face while you braid. Also only add hair from the side of your head, not the back.)
3. Braid until you run out of hair to add into the braid. Braid a couple of extra inches on each side just so that you can continue to braid where you stopped adding hair.
4. Let loose your hair in the section you put aside in the beginning and separate it into two even sections.
5. Cross the right section over the left section and make sure they are smooth.
6. Add the right section into the braid on the left to make a four strand braid. Braid until you reach the ends of your hair. Secure with a small hair binder.
7. Repeat with the left section by adding it to the right braid. Secure with a small hair binder.
8. Twist the two braids together and secure with a small hair binder.




You have to accept whatever comes along and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best that you have to give.

Summer Hair Challenge: 4th of July! (Day 30)

Hey Girls! I hope you are having an awesome week! Happy Independence Day! Thank you to all of the troops who have fought for our country! We appreciate you so much! 
    Today's hairstyle is a great hairstyle for today because you can wear it two ways! I had the idea for this hairstyle last night when I was told it is supposed to be 100 degrees Fahrenheit  today! I wanted something that would keep my hair off my face and neck so that I wouldn't have to worry or stress all over it all day. It uses a lot of braiding and a ponytail/bun depending on how you want to do it.
Have an awesome day!

 Day 30:
This is an amazing way to keep your hair off your face and neck all day, it is also a great hairstyle for the beach because then you don't have to worry about messy wet hair.






 1. create a section about an 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick starting in the middle front top of your head and  french braid backward to the middle of the back of your head. Make sure you do not make the section bigger as you add hair into the braid. I recommend sectioning out the hair you are going to put into the braid and putting the rest of your hair into a ponytail.
2. Do the same steps until you reach your ears on both sides of your hair. This should get you about 5-7 braids on the top of your head. 
3. As you finish the braids, secure them with small hair binders and add them to the hair you are sectioning away from the braid you are about to do next.
4. After you have all of the hair on top of your head done, flip all of your hair upside down and do a french braid to the middle of your head. To make it easier, bend from the waist and flip your whole head and hair upside down. Just pretend like you are braiding away from yourself.
5. Once you finish braiding your hair on the bottom, gather all of your hair into a ponytail at a common point between your french braid on the bottom and where the french braids from the top of your head end.
Optional:
6. Twist your hair and wrap around the base of the ponytail to create a bun. Pin in place.
