Experimentals, gotta love them

Hi there!
It has been a while since I've posted, but being a senior in high school with a lot to do, blogging is unfortunately not a priority. I feel bad writing this post because I have chores to do, dances to choreograph, and papers to write. Hurray for procrapstination...
So, today I had ballroom, as usual. And knowing my body, I sweat a lot, as usual, so there was no question, my hair had to be out of my face and off my neck. I always poof my bangs & put my hair in some sort of bun, but today, I wanted to do something different.
Once upon a time, I was on Pinterest & saw this pin:

I don't know how in the world I got what I did out of this, because the whole ribbon concept. But anyways, a little birdie told me that some of you want a tutorial with pictures. So, that's what I did :) I'm so sorry about the horrible quality, a younger relation of mine who is a female took the camera, so I had to take these with my phone.


Step one: Separate hair in front of ears & put the rest back.

Step 2: Put on headband, or ribbon (if it's ribbon, preferably a longer ribbon, and tie it in a knot)
Oh ya, and bobby pin it so that it will be stationary for the most part. :)

Step 3: Put on your Bump-it (JK, I don't own no bump-it.). Tease hair behind headband & "pin the bubble". You don't have to do pin it, but I personally do this for two reasons: 1) My hair is freakishly thick & therefore it deflates 2) The hairstyle will just turn out better, it you are a volume-lover.

Step 4:French-braid one side, & secure with clear hair elastic. Remember that one french braid a few posts back where you pretty much add to the middle? Preferably do that kind :)

Step 5: French braid other side

Step 6: Gently pull apart both braids to add more texture, and make it look like you have more hair. :) You can't really see it in the pic, but there is a difference.

Step 7: Lift up hair that is part of the poof & the hair that lines up with it, & pin braids. If you have super long hair, don't worry about this step. :)

Step 8: Gather all hair above the braids, or the braids themselves as well if you have super long hair. Separate into three sections.

Step 10: French braid hair. If you used a really long ribbon, add the strands of ribbon in with the rest of the hair. Just a fun little thing. :)

Step 11: Take out bobby pins that were holding up the poof, smooth the hair out, pin in hairs sticking out of french braids, hairspray, etc. Just the touch-ups :)

Voila! All done :) I love this look! And it actually stayed intact & didn't bother me at all in ballroom :) This hairstyle is a success! Please give me input! :)

Thank you! :)
