Once again, I didn't get My Favorite Things Thursday up on the designated day...but this one is a big one...so enjoy!
Summer is hot. Like, really hot sometimes. And those of you who have long tresses, like me, probably tend to throw that hair up immediately when the sweat starts to drip... Why not throw it up in a braid or two instead of a pony?
I've been loving all the braided hairstyles I've been seeing around blogs and Pinterest. I've been dying to try some. If you missed today's post from earlier, you should check out one I did try via a professional hairdresser! Now I can't wait to try some on my own. I think the fishtail braid or a braided bun are next on my list.
All the links below have either a picture tutorial or a video tutorial.
Enjoy!

Bun Braid by Kate at The Small Things
I just love the loose curls surrounding it. Very romantic. It looks beautiful from the front as well.

Braided Updo by Maria at Caribbean Missionary Wife
This one is really similar to Keiko Lynn's version, but it's styled messier and looks so different that I had to include it!

Pretty Side French Braid Low Updo by Maegan at ...Love Maegan
One of my faves for sure. Maegan also has a picture of this with the braid down and pulled out loose and it's also really pretty. She's always got great videos, too.

How To Style A Fishtail Braid by Kinsey at Kinsey M Hire Photography via A Beautiful Mess
Oh fishtails ore my new obsession. I haven't figured out how to braid mine and keep all my layers from sticking out. I'm going to keep trying though. Maybe if I wear it curly, they'll look like they're there on purpose. There's a photo tutorial in the link above, but I also like this video tutorial:

Dutch Braid Bun by Gina at Crochet Clouds
A dutch braid is just an inside out french braid. I learned that from Gina. This is an easy and simple idea...and again, I think her hair color really sells this look!

Hunger Games Wedding by Wedding Chicks
Nuts, right? It's so ridiculous, but so gorgeous. I had to include this because, let's be honest, Katniss has totally had a huge part in inspiring the braid craze.
If you were featured today, I'd love it if you grabbed a button!
Don't forget to follow me on Pinterest and check out my Hair Board...I'm pretty sure all these are on there!
