I saw this hairstyle online because it started to go viral. There were a bunch of influencers trying this one and I knew I needed to try it. I loved seeing this one come together because it’s a hairstyle that I normally love to do but with the addition of the braids… it’s that much cuter!

I know during this time of year that my daughter loves to go to school as festive as can be. Hairstyles have always been a fun and easy way for us to share the love when it comes to this time of year. One thing that I love to show off is that you don’t need complicated hairstyles. Easy, simple ones come out looking just as beautiful.
