Back to Basics

To come up with creative hairstyles on your hair, you must be able to master the basics of specific hairstyles. Referring to my previous post, I introduced "Lauren Conrad's Headband Braid." This hairstyle is categorized under Hair Braiding. There are different types of hair braiding. Examples include:

  • Basic English BraidsThis is the most common braid and is quick and easy to create even on yourself.


  • French Braid
    It can be done in two styles, the overbraid which creates the classic woven appearance of a French braid, or the Dutch Braid (sometimes called an underbraid or inverted braid) which creates a braided rope that sits on top of the hair

  • Dutch Braid

Before attempting hair braiding at higher difficulty levels, master the basics, practice and keep on improving! It takes time to succeed because I've been there too. By putting what you have learnt into actions, it's only when you know you can get it done. :)

DON'T STOP TRYING! if i can do it, so can you! =>

Lauren Conrad Inspired Headband Braid


Lauren Conrad's headband braid seems to be the 'in-thing' hairstyle currently! It is often done by most teenagers these days, don't you think so? So, besides literally using big headbands, bobby pins and hair clips, why not try using your own hair to create a headband?! Interesting much! This hairstyle is suitable for girls with both long and short hair(provided if you have a long fringe)

Try this out! :)
