Hair Tutorial: Preventing the Side Braid Droop

 Eeeks! Check out that drooping side braid!

Check out this video tutorial of how to prevent that pesky drooping from happening!

Am I the only one who has suffered from this side braid droop debacle? 

I love having layered hair, but sometimes when I put it in a side braid and that droopiness starts to happen I kind of hate the layers creating this dreaded droop! This can also happen to those of you with the gorgeous silken strands that everyone is envious of. To prevent this you just have to add another step to your braiding routine, check out the video to see how I prevent the side braid droop. 

In this last photo I am showing you how it looks if you want to do a quick up-do with your side braid, as I explained in the video. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Hair Tutorial: Beachy Waves

tools used: 

texturizing spray for hair -- I used this one, but also any type of sea salt spray works as well! (Try this one, or this one or this one)

hair dryer- I use a Valera one that I actually one in a contest through Ricky's NYC (so so cool!)

As we are getting closer to spring and then beautiful summer I thought it would be perfect to do a quick tutorial on how to achieve those beachy waves! 

Its a quick and easy way to style your hair and go that one extra step of getting ready before you head out the door. 

What is your favorite way to create beachy waves without a curling iron?
