Braid Envy!


So ever since I saw this fun braided style I have been trying to replicate! I especially like this version which seems like a cute way to get those pesky bangs out of my face!

(Not the best J. Simpson pic I know but her hair is cute!)
I've tried a few times and while it comes out ok it's not anything great...Which is why when I saw it Grey's Anatomy last night I have become super obsessed with figuring it out!

You can't see it all too well in here but this is the best picture I could find.
Come to think I have sported this look before...but I don't think it counts since I had an expert hair stylist do it for me!

What do you guys think? Have you tried this look out and been successful? If so please leave tips before I cause all my hair to fall out from braiding and re-braiding!

I love this look! I'm jealous you can pull it off - I look so silly with my hair all pulled back - like a balding man, ha!

I would love to try this to get my bangs out of the way and help me grow them out without getting sissor happy if they're in my face . . . but I have not tried it yet. I love the look, super cute, I'll have to try and let you know.

I LOE braids like that. But I always get fly-aways and end up looking like a ploofed poof.

Also--your wedding photo is perhaps the most beautiful wedding pic I have ever seen. Stunning!
