Messy Updos- Boho Braids
-
One of the hottest trends this summer will be the very cute, very elegant and easy to do, boho braids. A boho braid is a side swept single braid that gives your coif a little edge. Boho braids work on anyone with medium to long hair. It doesn’t work that well on short hair because the braid needs to be swept across to one side and go behind the ear.
A boho braid can be included in any messy updos, including natural, soft waves, or just a messy bun. To get the messy updo with the boho braid, start by spritzing your hair with a shine enhancer after you’ve washed it.
Get a dime-sized amount of gel or mousse and scrunch your hair with your hands. Flip your hair over for even more volume, and blow dry.
Take a 2-4 inch piece of hair right at the front (see picture) and braid it across to the other side. Make sure you braid it all the way to the end. Pin the braid behind the ear, and you’re all set. Boho braids are great for the summer because they keep the hair out of your face, as well as giving you a chic and elegant do that you can wear anytime during the day.

Everyone is beautiful being themselves. BUT your clothing depends on where you live. For example, I live in Arizona where girls wear Uggs with skirts and shorts as to where I use to live in El Paso, TX if I wore that people will judge and some will laugh. If you really want to be with the “in” crowd look at what they’re wearing and go from there, usually store manicans are dressed with “cool” clothing, or even the employees wear today’s fashions. Ask a sales associate to help you put together a “cool” outfit for school. Many times you will find the same pair of jeans can be mixed up with different tops; therefore, all you need are 2-3 pairs of bottoms and several tops to pull off many outfits. As for your hair it depends on how long/short, shape, cut you already have. I can suggest going to a salon and having them suggest something for your face shape and see if you’ll like it and will feel comfortable.
*Always remember who YOU are, you don’t want to get mixed up with the “in” crowd and forget who you really are. I hope this helps and good luck.
