Easy Braided Up-do with a Hair Stick (Works with Any Hairslide)

Wow, this one is SO easy and SO cute! Would be a great idea for a casual messy up-do (like mine here), or a sleek look for a special event.

If you don’t know how to french braid, sorry, you’ll have to Youtube that one on your own. But you could do this with a regular braid too!


It’s simple:
1. Braid your hair and secure the end with an elastic. I use the small clear rubber ones so it doesn’t show.

2. Take the tail of your braid and fold it up on your head, tucking the end inside. If you have longer hair, make a longer fold or roll it up. The point is that the end is on the inside, unseen, and that the braid is gathered at your head.

3. Next, pin your braid to your head with a hair stick or pin by inserting the stick into the side of the braid. Slide the stick through your hair, near your scalp.

4. Pop the stick out the other side of the braid. You can see in this video how I grab hair from the braid and pull it down so that the stick comes out through it.

Make sense? I hope so! Give it a try and let me know what you think.👇🏾
