Bobby Pin Snowflake

I’m sticking with the snowflake theme again this week, this time for a new hair tutorial. Although bold Christmas hairstyles can be fun at this time of year, sometimes something more subtle can be just as exciting to put together. Simply working with a few blue bobby pins can create a unique snowflake-esque pattern that is sure to embellish any style. 

Materials:

1) Brush

2) 4 Blue Bobby Pins

Procedure:

1) Start by brushing out your hair.

2) Separate a small section of hair from the front middle of your head.

3) Horizontally bobby pin into place. 

4) Directly in the middle of the first bobby pin, carefully add a second bobby pin vertically.

5) Add a third bobby pin that is on a diagonal line between the first two pins.

6) Finally, place your last pin in the opposite diagonal direction. From this, both diagonals should create an X shape and their intersection point should be directly on top of the initial intersection created by pins 1 and 2.

Squiggle Braid

A couple years ago, I did a tutorial on an uneven braid that can be used to add a little more emphasis to a look than a regular braid. This squiggle braid is a variation that uses a combination of two braided sections and one flat section to draw emphasis. I decided to call it a squiggle braid because the one section that is not braided looks like it’s squiggling between the two which are braided. This technique works in a variety of different ponytails, so be sure to try them all out.

Materials:

1) Brush

2) Large Hair Tie

3) 3 Small Hair Ties

Procedure:

1) Begin by brushing your hair into a ponytail of your choice. I chose a half-up ponytail, but a regular or side ponytail would also work well.

2) Split the ponytail into three sections.

3) Braid and tie off one of the three sections.

4) Braid and tie off a second of the three sections. Leave the third section as is.

5) Begin braiding the three sections together, making sure that the section without a braid lies flat.

6) At the end of the hair, tie off with a small hair elastic.

Pancaked Crown Braid

I have another hair tutorial this week just so I can get my posts back onto the same hair and nail rotation as before. Next week will be back to a nail tutorial followed by alternating hair and nails every Sunday. Today’s tutorial is a crown braid that is a little different than the variations of this style that I’ve done before. In this version, one side of the braid gets pancaked which adds a different texture to the look.

Materials:

1) Brush

2) 3 Small Hair Ties

Procedure:

1) Start by brushing your hair.

2) Separate two sections of hair; one from each side of your head.

3) Braid both of the sections, tying off each with a small hair tie.

4) On the right side of the left braid (the side that faces the centre of the head), begin to pull each stitch of the braid out to make it flatter and larger.

5) On the other side of the head, pancake the left side of the right braid (again, this is the side that faces the centre of the head).

6) Take the two braids and tie them together in the middle back of your head, ensuring that the pancaked side faces up. Remember to remove the hair ties of the excess braids.
