Coffee Beans and Bobby Pins

Side Braid

Hey all, some of my girlfriends have been asking me to post a tutorial for this side braid hairstyle. It’s VERY simple. However you do need to know how to french braid, but since its only a small area if you don’t know how, this would be a good place to start!
Side Braid
Hair length: any
Difficulty: 2 bobby pins

This video is pretty terrible, could I be getting worse instead of better?

The thing that’s great about this is you can wear it tucked (as pictured) or throw your hair back in a pony with this look. It’s a great way to get bangs out of your face too!

Also, I just want to take a moment to thank not only my girlfriends who have been UBER supportive, but also to all of you for your comments, your feedback and you support! I love reading your kind words and it puts a BIG smile on my face! I am so thankful! Keep it comin’ :)And please email me with any questions, comments or concerns!

Will you be trying the side braid? Anyone want to share anything..it’s hump day!

    Great video! I'm not sure how I learned to french braid since my mom doesn't even know, but I'm always surprised at how many girls don't know how to french braid. A bunch of my coworkers were asking for step-by-step directions on how to french braid bangs the other day, I'll send them a link to your video!

    This video is exactly what I needed! I only learned how to french braid in college a few years ago and I've been having trouble trying out the side braid since I'm so bad with hair!! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

    I'd love for you to come check out my blog if u get the chance!

    Aww, you are NOT getting worse! You are great in your videos (I am too chicken to try them). And the side brain is lovely…even though I am totally inept with my hair, I might have to give this a try 🙂

    Im going to try this tomorrow when my hair is a litte dirtier! I always look like an idiot when I try to braid my hair but your video showed me that perhaps I was not taking enough hair and not in the right area! Thanks! I love your vids and your friends sound amazing!

    Now I don't have a reason not to try this! You make it look so easy. By the way, I just stumbled across your blog and really love it. Congrats on your upcoming nuptials. I just love your little Carrie Bradshaw moment post. That was too adorable. I just started following you. Hope we can keep in touch.

    thanks for this! my bangs are at that weird stage where they aren't short or grown out, so this will be a pretty way to get them off my face! 🙂
