Spring School Hairstyles #amazeballs

It's humid outside, and with it raining all the time we are getting tired of using to much heat on our hair! We are stressed out as it is with the STAAR coming soon,  so we don't have time to do some elaborate hairstyle that takes an hour. In honor of the spring season and a tribute to help our stress, we've found some easy quick hair-dos for you to do.

The first look is this flower-bun combo that is super cute and looks like it took lots of effort! To start you want to braid to where you have two folds on the left side. Hold the bottom of the chain firmly with your right hand, and with the other pull a little bit of the hair out of the left folds. These will be the petals of the flower braid. Continue doing this until you have reached the bottom of the hair and secure with a small elastic. Then take the end of the braid and begin to wrap it in a circle, with the petals on the left sticking out like a flower. Secure with as many bobby pins as needed, and there you have it! This cute little flower can be worn out and about causally, or dress it up with a fancy outfit. Either way, its easy, quick, and fun to look at. Check out our video here!

Next is this waterfall braid that is super trendy right now. To do the waterfall braid, you'll need to know how to French braid pretty well. Start at the crown of you hair, choosing which side you want the braid to be on, and start to French braid. Then, drop the bottom piece of hair and while still holding the other two strands, pick up another piece that is fairly close or behind the piece you drop. Continue doing this, dropping the bottom piece and replacing it back into the French braid, until the braid is ended at it's desired place. It will take a while to master this braid, but once you have, it is super stylish. Check out our video here!

The final look is the princess headband, or at least that's what we call it. For this hair tutorial you will need a head band and some booby pins. The first step to making this hair style is to pick out a head band that matches your hair color pretty well. Then, put the head band on top of your hair like a crown, almost. Take the front section on one side of your hair and wrap it above and under the head band one time, letting the remainder fall into the middle of the hair. Repeat on the other side, and then keep going back and forth from side to side wrapping the hair around the headband, and eventually you'll have a big chunk of hair in the middle. Take the remainder hair and twist it around the head band all at once, shoving any excess hair down into the head band. Secure as need with bobby pins, and the you're done!  This one is a little fancier than the rest, but you could wear it however!
