Plaited Hair Styles

Heyyyy everybody so this week I'm going to give you two ideas for plaited hair styles. These are mainly for curly hair but would work just as well for straight hair. As I have very curly hair I based these ideas on my own hair, so didn't include basic plaits and french braids.

The first of my two styles is a plaited hairband, don't really know what to call it. To make the hairband you need to take a small piece of hair from behind your ear. Then plait this into a small, simple plait. Don't tie the end but you may wish to tie it until you need it later. Brush all you hair back over you head and then pull the hairband plait over your head. Remove the tie and secure in place with bobby pins. Arrange your hair how you like it. I like to bring the front pieces forward to cover the end of the plait and frame my face a little.

The second idea is a take on a fishtail plait. To create this look brush all your hair back over your head and pull round to the side. It took me a few attempts to get my hair the way I wanted it to be patient! Then fishtail the whole lot of your hair as you would normally. If you aren't sure how to do this then you may find this video help as its a little difficult to explain. Secure with a bobble at the end and pin the pieces at the back of your head in place if they are too short to stay in the plait. This style keeps all the hair out of your face which is very helpful when you've got a busy day!

I hope you enjoyed this style of post and I'm sorry it's a little short. I would also just like to tell you in advance that there will be no post next Wednesday as I am performing in my village panto. However I will post some pictures from it on the Sunday so you can all see what I've been up to. I hope this was helpful, leave a comment or tell me on twitter (@eleanabog) if you have tried either of these styles out. See you Sunday, byeeeeeeeeee
