You know those ugly mornings where the alarm clock rings and you’re totally stuck into bed. When you finally manage to get off one foot at a time, slowly, it’s already time to get the bus? There you go, those are most of my mornings! But, as I’m a “girly girl” I had to figure out some hair style to give me a twist those days I’m in a super rush. That’s what today’s post is all about: 3 braided hairstyles to make in less than 3 minutes!

Instructions

  1. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 100841 img 3441 1024x682

    1. Braided headband This is the fastest and easiest hairstyle and my favourite: perfect for most occasions, adds a boho look to every outfit! Let’s start!

  2. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 100913 img 3459 1024x682

    With a small hair strand near the back of the ear make a small braid. Repeat on other side.

  3. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 100922 img 3462 1024x682

    Add volume by pulling slightly outwards the braided strands. Now make a sort of hairband pulling your braids over the top of your head and pin them in place.

  4. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 100945 img 3466 682x1024

    Easy as pie!

  5. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101037 img 3406 1024x682

    2. Braided bun Make a very high ponytail and divide it into 2 big strands

  6. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101048 img 3416 1024x682

    With these two make braids (fix one with a tweezer while working on the other).

  7. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101124 img 3426 1024x682

    Now, pump up the volume by pulling slightly outwards the braided strands. Now hold one braid and make the other one flip around it, pin it in place, and to the same with the second one.

  8. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101132 img 3428 1024x682

    Finished!

  9. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101148 img 3430 682x1024

    If you wish you can add a decorative ribbon or a flower at the bottom of the bun.

  10. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101225 img 3383 1024x682

    3. Side braid with a twist Start with a medium strand of hair from just over your ear and divide it into 2 parts.

  11. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101234 img 3386 1024x682

    Now twist them like this: the right strand goes over the left and the left goes under the right. Now add another strand to your right strand and repeat the twist.

  12. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101300 img 3388 1024x682

    Keep going like this until you reach the back of the other ear.

  13. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101318 img 3390 1024x682

    Now get the rest of your hair and make a regular braid going down on your shoulder

  14. Small 101507 2f2014 05 03 101336 img 3404 682x1024

    Done!
