THE BRAID PARADE. All photos by Kristin Ess Correct me if I’m wrong, but Instagram was created just for posting braids, right?
Okay maybe not but at least that’s what I like to use mine for. Today’s post is less about a tutorial and more a gallery of good good. I thought it would be fun to upload my favorite braid posts from my page so they’re all here in one spot. These aren’t photos that we’ve done TBD tutorials for but many of them can be done using one tutorial + another, which I will specify. This was done on super long hair. This one looks complicated but it’s not at all. Doesn’t this look complicated? I mean, let’s be honest… this just looks extra cool because my friend has purple hair. This one is fun because the messier the better. I did this for Lauren on one of our Kohl’s shoots and it’s my favorite! SO CUTE! This is obviously for a fun occasion like a football game, soccer game, whatever sport you like, it would be fun to do it with your colors.

We love a good DIY, and we particularly love a DIY that includes flowers.
Saw one of these floral ribbons at a retail store the other day. It was way too overpriced for my liking so of course we decided to create a version you can make yourself for about $2. It’s a simple thin ribbon with flowers and a bobby pin attached– not rocket science, but sometimes simple is just prettier. You know we love a flower crown but we’re head over heels for this as a new alternative. Here’s how we made it… You’ll want to find tiny flowers so the weight doesn’t pull the ribbon. Collect scissors, 1/8″ thin ribbon, your flowers, a single small bobby pin and some thin beading wire.Gather a tiny cluster of buds and bind them together using a small piece of your wire.
