I have to say, I am pretty excited for this post. I have worn this braid quite a bit lately, and it may or not be because I want to be Elsa with all this snow outside.
First off, this girl lovesss volume, so dry shampoo and a lot of teasing are necessary. I have naturally straight but flat hair so curling is also a way to up the do. But, if big hair is not your thing then no worries, it's a step you can skip.
I usually do this hairstyle on 2nd or 3rd day hair.
Next up, take a small piece of hair from the front and section it into three different pieces. Begin to braid while pulling the hair towards the back of your head.
I sometimes start braiding closer to my scalp but my baby hairs wouldn't allow it this time. After you finish the braid, start to pull the pieces out very gently. This makes the braid look a little thicker than it actually is.
Pin the first braid to the back of your head with a bobby pin.
Then grab the rest of your hair and section that off into three different pieces.
Start to tightly braid that chunk.
Secure all that hair with an elastic.
Pull out the pieces of that braid like the first braid.
I have layers so I have lots of random hairs sticking out, but that is totally okay, hence the name "messy braids". If you don't like loose locks then just tuck then in with a bobby pin.
Lastly, spray a little hairspray just to make sure everything stays put.
Voila! You're all done. Once you get the hang of this look then it should take you under 5 minutes, and who doesn't like quick, easy, fancy braids?
