Best Braid Tutorials

My best friend, McKenzie, is a the best braider in the world. I, on the other hand, have spent the last 26 years of my life being completely inept when it comes to hair styling, After Isla was born, I decided that I really, really need to learn how to braid my own hair. After practicing every single day in Durango this summer, I can finally French braid my hair (a huge victory!). With Isla’s new desire to grab everything and hold on tightly, having my hair braided is almost a necessity. I’ve been watching and reading lots of braid tutorials to try to expand my skills, and after looking at a thousand different blogs, I’ve rounded up my favorite 9 tutorials for different hairstyles. Below you’ll see my attempt at Amber Fillerup Clark’s Upside Down Braided Bun.

Are you a good braider? Have you seen any other tutorials that you would like to share?

Wedding Hair Inspiration

weddinghairWhen I was in Napa a month ago, I did my hair and makeup trial. I loved my makeup, and at the time, really liked my chignon updo. However, after looking at photos and showing it to my friends and family, everyone has agreed that it’s not really me. So, I created a Pinterest account and started scouring the site for inspiration. The photos above are some of my favorites. How did you pick your hair style?
