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!

The Greatest Invention for all of time

Ok maybe not...but if you asked me one appliance that I can't live without it's my Solia Flat Iron....For a girl with wavy frizzy hair when I learned about flat irons I was in heaven! I always wanted my mom's super silky super straight tresses but I inherited my grandmothers frizzy waves/can be curls with enough product! I started off with a Helen of Troy similar to this Hot Tools but I had to replace it twice within 2 and a half years....I finally upgraded to the Solia my Junior year of college and I LOVE it! I seriously don't know what I would do without it! But lately the super sleek look has started to get a little boring. My hair dresser from the wedding taught me how to use it for curls and waves, it took some practice but I have finally gotten it right and love have the bouncy volume:


Mind you this after a LOT of dancing on Friday and anyone with frizzy hair know that dancing your butt off never bodes well for your hair! This morning I flipped it out for fun and am loving how it looks! What are your favorite hair products/styles?? Are you secretly a curly girl in disguise of a straight haired one?? For some reason since I let my hair be curly for the year before the wedding to let it grow I just can't do it anymore! While Jay loves the curls it makes me feel not put together :(
