New hair!

Hey girlies!
So sorry I haven't posted in a while, life has just been super busy lately! I hope to have some more posts up soon and even some Halloween tutorials too!

Lately I've been debating whether I want to color my hair white blonde or go for a huge change and go brown.
I decided that I'll try colouring my hair white blonde and then go dark if I want to, rather than trying to lift my hair back to blonde if I didn't like it.
So this weekend I put a whole day aside to work on my hair.
I bought a highlighting cap, bleach, and developer from Sally's and decided to take on this job of going white blonde!
It took me 3.5 hours from start to finish, but it was all totally worth it!
I love my hair right now and think that I might want to stay white blonde for some time still.

 

Some of the products that I used were:

-Clairol Professional Blue Kaleidocolors Bleach Powder
-Salon Care 30 Volume Clear Developer
-Salon Care Highlighting Cap
-Colortrack Highlighting Brush

 
I thought I would include a before/ after pic of my hair. The before picture was in the summer, so that is why I look so tanned in it!


 
How do you think it turned out??

How To: 4 Strand Braid



Hi Beauties! Today I have a post on how to get this super cute and unique 4-strand side braid! It may look hard but it is actually really easy, and after 1 or 2 times of practicing it you will be a pro!


To get this 4-strand braid follow these easy steps:
1. Pull all your hair to one side of your face. Perferably the side opposite of your bangs, if you have side swept bangs that is.
2. Split your hair into 4 equals sections. (This part my be tricky for some of you :p)
3. Now take the section of hair that is the furthest from your ear, and weave it under the section next to it.
4. Once you have done that, take the same strand, and weave it over the next section, and then take that strand and once again weave it under the last section of hair.
5. Once that first section is beside your ear, you can tighten your braid.
6. Now take the section that is furthest away from your ear, and repeat the same steps. Do this until you have braided all of your hair. *Remember to always to take the section of hair furthest away from your ear and weave it under first.
7. Once you have tied your braid, I pulled the sections of hair apart a little to give it more of a messy look.
And you're done!



What do you think of this look? Let me know if you try this braid!
