How to Make Quick Waves From Braids

I'm always looking for easy to do hairstyles that are quick and effortless but look great. That's not always easy to find. During the summer months there are many other things I would rather be doing than sitting inside a bathroom for an hour and a half trying to put make up on and style my hair when it's nice outside and there are many other fun things I could be doing outside. I would much rather be outside boating, grilling, swimming, and more.

Here is a quick, easy way to get effortless waves in your hair. Turn on your straightener and let it heat up. I prefer using one this size rather than a large one, but whatever size straightener you own should work--no need to go buy a new one! Section off hair and braid several strands. The smaller the braids, the tighter the waves. The larger and thicker the braids, the looser the braids. Clamp your straightener on the top of the braid and gently run it from top to bottom of the braid two to three times. Undo the braids once they cool and you're all set and good to go!

Spice Up Your Hair With Feather Headbands!

I like to shop. Actually I like to shop, A LOT. I'm always looking for fun, fresh ways to spice up my wardrobe. Sometimes, instead of spending a lot of money on a new outfit, I'll spice up an existing outfit with fun, new accessories. It's much cheaper this way, all while fighting the feeling of wearing the same outfits all the time.

A great way to spice up an outfit is to spice up your hair! Believe it or not, hair is a great way to accessorize. My favorite way to do this is with feather headbands. Feathers are fun and very in style right now. These feather headbands are inexpensive and there is an endless amount of ways in which they can be used. You can leave your hair down and put one in or decide to rock an up-do and put it in with your hair up. It looks great all styles, colors, and lengths of hair so no matter what kind of hair you have, what outfit you're wearing, or what the occasion is, you will look great!

There are so many colors of feather headbands available, that you can choose which ones you like best and what fits your personal style. A personal tip: I have blonde hair and like to wear darker colored feathers. My roommate has dark brown hair and prefers the lighter feathers. They really pop and stand out!
