HAIR BRAID TUTORIALS

I think part of my weakness for 1940's hair is how *neat and pretty* it is at the same time as it's *securely stowed.* Pin these styles well enough (and maybe even pomade them a little, I don't know), and you don't have to be terrified of wind. You can go on about your business without forever worrying about your hair. And that's s worth something.  Here are some steps you can braid your hair in different styles.

Romantic Loose Side Braid

Braided hairstyles are really easy to be done and they always look perfect!

Waterfall Hair Braid

The waterfall braid definitely takes a few tries before you'll have it perfectly, but the final result is so pretty, it's totally worth it. Check out the step-by-step below.

1. Starting near your hairline, pick up three strands of hair, as if you're starting a French braid.
2. Cross the strand closest to the top of your head (1) over the middle section (2).
3. Cross the bottom section (3) over the new middle section (1).
4. Cross the new top section (2) over the new middle (3), and then the bottom (1) over the middle (2).
5. Drop the middle strand (2) down, so it blends in with the rest of your hair.
6. Pick up a piece about the same size from near your part.
7. This strand (4) becomes your new top section—cross it over the middle to continue the braid.
8. Cross the bottom strand (1) over the new section (4), and repeat steps 2-8 all the way around your head.
9. When you get behind your opposite ear, do a normal, three-strand braid for about an inch.
10. Secure the braid behind your ear with a bobby pin. We used hot pink for a fun pop of color!
