Revamped Side Braid

As a long-time fan of the Lauren Conrad braid, I decided to recreate it with a slight twist. Instead of going about this hairstyle as I usually would, I incorporated the concept of fishtail braiding (video tutorial found here). The result: a new and unique way to keep hair out of your face, perfect for Fall!

Tip: When grabbing new sections of hair to add into the braid, be sure the sections contain no more than a dozen strands of hair. You want the strands to be much, much smaller than if you were to fishtail braid all of your hair.
