Style #9: Bohemian Side Braid

Inspired by a post over at Wonder Forest, this is actually three different braid styles.  I made a deep part and did a french braid to my right ear.  Then I did a twist down the left, quickly gathering the rest of my hair into the twist.  Finally I brought all my hair together and did a fishtail braid down the right.  A more detailed tutorial is here:

I need to work on my french braid.  I like this loose look, but next time I want to try to make the french braid tighter and chunkier.

I'm slowly getting better at the fishtail.  This time I used larger pieces and kept the size of the pieces more uniform.  I don't know what to do about all the different length pieces, though.  Because my hair is so layered in front, my hair quickly starts to come out of a braid near the bottom and starts looking messy after an hour.  Definitely getting faster at this, though.

Style #8: natural

I have a mane.  Lots of times I tame it by twisting it in a bun, but I do appreciate the ridiculous amount of fluff I have growing out of my head.  This it what it looks like when I comb it out in the morning (nope I don't use a brush, just a wide toothed comb that I've had since 9th grade).  I don't go all day like this as it will quickly weave itself into a matt at the back, but I do appreciate the odd natural poofy wave that I have.  This is without a curling iron.  I sleep with it in a bun and then comb it out in the morning.  Extra props to my hair dresser who I see once a year and makes my layers fall so perfectly (Kory at Planet Salon).
