Braids can add so much interesting texture to your look! Here's how you can take a classic french braid and style it two different ways to get a pretty side braid. Sarah demonstrates how to style a side braid on our model Sarah (two pretty Sarah's in one place!).
1. Gather a large section of your hair starting from one side of the crown of your head and sweeping to the other side. 2. Begin braiding three small strands from the top of this section. 3. As you braid add more strands from the original section. 4. Be sure to braid so that your hair wraps around the top of your head. 5. Finish by wrapping one strand around the entire braid, securing it in place. You could use a hair tie as well and wrap the hair around the hair tie, hiding it.
If you want to give your side braid more volume and go for a bohemian styling.
1. Once you have gather your large section from step one above, tease this hair to add volume. 2. Follow the directions above with the teased hair. This side braid will have more body and will look messier.

thanks for doing a hair tutorial with a model without bangs! Sometimes i feel like most of your hair style tutorials wouldn't work on someone without bangs, so it is great to see one that looks so good.

I love both of them! I had to run to my mirror and try the first one right away. I bet these would look really good with lace!

I'm obsessed with braids lately. Long hair + summer weather = braids for me.

I do both of these styles regularly, but I like the extra POP! of doing it with a Dutch braid (inside out). Such a cute, simple way to deal with icky hair days.

You are frustrated, sad and lonely, and sometimes you feel nobody cares. If you feel you are stuck in the wilderness in a situation that appears hopeless, you should know that you're not the only person this has happened to. And there is something you can do about it! Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and it appears whatever they do, they can't get out of the quagmire. If this describes you, don't give up. The situation is not hopeless.
