I’m pretty transparent with you guys when it comes to how lazy I am with my hair…I just don’t love taking the time to do it. If I could have a genie that popped out of a bottle every morning just to do my hair, I would be the happiest girl in the world. Because of that, I am always trying to find hairstyles that look like they take way more time than they actually do.
This half-up halo braid hairstyle is the perfect mix of messy-undone and looking like you took some serious time in the morning. (Note: I used two rows of 3-clip extensions for the braid portion in this tutorial to add some extra volume, but you can certainly use your own hair for this tutorial if you prefer!)
- Step 1: Part your hair in a deep side part.
- Step 2: Clip in extensions (if using).
- Step 3: Separate hair into two chunks, then into 2 additional chunks (so you have 4 separate pieces).
- Step 4: Taking two of the 4 strands, twist them separately and together at the same time, and secure with a clear rubber band when you reach the end.
- Step 5: Repeat step four with remaining 2 strands of hair.
- Step 6: Hold the bottom of each braid and pull pieces of the twist slightly out one by one, to loosen the strands and give the twist a fuller look.
- Step 7: Take the braid closest to your ear and wrap it around the back of your head, and across the front so that the “tail” is near your forehead.
- Step 8: Bobby pin the braid in place so it feel secure.
- Step 9: Take the braid closest to the back of your head and wrap it around the front of your head, hiding the “tail” underneath the first braid.
- Step 9: Bobby pin the second braid.
- Step 10: Curl your hair with a and hairspray in place. (I love the because it keeps flyaways down and isn’t sticky at all.)
Let me know if you guys try this hairstyle out — even better I would love to see a photo of it on instagram, and don’t forget to tag me!
