Pull-through Braid (the beginners version)

You’ve been seeing this pull-through braid hairstyle all over social media but now it’s your turn to try it. It looks harder than it is because it’s very stylish but really it’s very easy to do and it’s two steps that you just repeat over and over again. This style is perfect for outdoor Spring and Summer weddings and events where you want to keep your hair off your neck but styling in something a little more fancy than an traditional braid of ponytail. This pull-through braid also gives the illusion that your hair is crazy thick which we all love.

Messy Ponytail

This is the sister style to the messy bun but way easier. We definitely recommend trying it after you’ve curled your hair the night before so it has some waves and texture to it (hence the name messy). This messy ponytail gives you that effortless look with minimal effort and is perfect for just about every occasion.
