hairstyles...

___So, I've tried something a bit different with my hair for the first time since probably some point in the winter! Ninety percent of the time I leave my hair to do it's own thing. Back when I was on break from swimming, I curled it basically every day. And when I did swim, I usually let it air dry (to prevent any further damage) to its frizzy state or I threw it all up in a bun and pinned my bangs back. My goal this year is to try different hairstyles that keep my hair out of my face, and manage to look a little better than the average hanging there hair. This style is a favorite, and if I wasn't going off to work after, I would've taken the time to curl it. Here's the how-to-video here! I discovered it when I was looking for pictures of the hairstyle I wanted to get.

  1. The braids are gooorgeous! I need to try something different with my hair; I've been so lazy about it lately. I just let it do its own thing too!
