Like the title says who doesn't loves braids, i mean i don't know is its just me or i'm a total weirdo but i'm in love with braids of all kinds, it takes our hairstyle to another level; you can be wearing a total simple outfit and no makeup but if you pair that with a braid hairstyle everybody would be like, OMG its amazing, how much time did it take to you to make that braid, its amazing; and let me tell you a little secret almost all the braids that look really hard to do are the easiest ones to do.
2. Three steps; fishtail braid: step one - split your hair into two big sections. Step two - take a thin strand from the outside of the right section and cross it over to join the left, then take one strand from the left and bring it to join the right one. after that repeat until the end. Third step - tied the braid and don't forget to mess it up tons and tease it apart, this would make it look more effortless and beautiful
4. Just go to sleep!: as you can see the last tip she gives us is to just go to sleep, before going to bed just spray your hair with some sea salt spray, she recommends the fudge urban salt spray, but this one is a little bit hard to find is you don't live in the uk, so i found another one that its a little bit easier to find and is the Not your mother's sea salt spray. well going back to the braid is that you spray it and make two braid, the next morning just take the braids out shake a little bit your hair and you would end up with a really pretty, wavy texture! as simple as that.
Recently I was searching the internet and i saw that Lou Teasdale has released her first epic new DIY beauty tome, The Craft; and its all about how to make hairstyles, makeup, nails and some more stuff and i said I HAVE TO BUY IT RIGHT NOW, so i began to search where can i buy it cause at first it was only sold in the UK, later on i saw that amazon was now selling it, so without blinking i bought it. I was looking through the pages ( and let me tell you i'm in love) I saw that there's a whole section for braids and when i was reading i told myself hmmm this are really good advises so i have to share them, so that's what i'm about to do; 4 tips for amazing braids:
1. Powder is the key; and no i'm not talking about makeup; this is a powder to make our hair a little bit more gritty; is helps to maintain the braid and to last longer. The one that the Lou ( the author) love is fudge urban powder styler, but i know this is a little bit hard to find, so i looked for something similar that can give us the same result and is dry shampoo just spray a little bit of this on your hair and it would give you automatically a lot of texture and a gritty look and the last option is that if you don't want to spend money it would work to is you leave your hair to dry alone and making the braid the next day.

3. Add some color: use hair chalks, this is a cool and temporary way to give some color to your hair, without the commitment of dying for hair for a long time and you can experiment with different colors. The way to use this is to first make the braid and then add the color, for example i when i make this i use the Rita Hazan pop color sprays in pink ( they have in blue and purple too, this is an amazing product, it really leave the color or the bottle in your hair no matter if you have blonde or black hair) and after you spray some parts of the braid you can twist it up into a milkmaid style or a fun braided up-do to make it look cohesive .
