It’s been a little while now but a few months ago I had some requests to do this hairstyle. It takes under 5 minutes and is best done on dirty hair (for reals). In fact I was having a hard time with my hair for these pictures because it was too clean! I’m going to explain as clearly as possible how to do it but I’m hoping the pictures help. 🙂
1. Make a side part.
2. Section off the portion of hair from the small side of the part down to behind the ear.
3. Now take that section and divide it into 3 equal parts and braid the hair slightly up. Finish the braid and rough it up a bit.
4. Now take the braided hair and lay it across the top of your forehead, but not too high (I pulled mine down as low as possible). Secure on the opposite side of your head with two bobby pins crisscrossed. If needed use hair pins to secure the braid along the top of your forehead.
5. Enjoy wearing! You can also curl the rest of your hair or just wear it messy. 🙂
I’ve been debating about whether or not to do posts without pictures and just write….I think I would post more often but I really don’t like seeing a post without a picture so I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Thanks everyone and I hope your week is off to a great start.
P.S. I have an update coming and hopefully pictures of the children that have received mattresses. Only 5 more homes have yet to be provided for so if you want to give towards that please do and just make sure to leave a note in the comments box when you donate. Thanks everybody!

I think that posts with pictures are more fun, but if you don’t have any pictures to post, I’d rather you just right then not have a post. 🙂 Does that make sense?
I like the braid! 😀

I’d rather you just *write* then not post. 🙂
Yes, that makes sense! Thank you for your input. 🙂 And I’m glad you like the braid.
Omw! So cute Elain! ADORABLE! So doing this!
Happy you like it! 🙂
I am a sucker for pictures. Love pictures. But then, sometimes I just write on my blog and don’t post any pictures because I don’t have pictures.
Either way, just so long as you do post pictures sometimes. 🙂

Hey Friend,
You can always use simple pictures you’ve taken or get pictures off of flickr that relate to what you are talking about. That way you don’t always have to take the picture yourself. 😉
Love you!
Friend you.are.brilliant. Such a good suggestion! Love you so very much!
