If you follow me on instagram (@shelovesthefword) then you know that I spent this week in Vegas at the Women's Wear Daily show. My girl Anna and I snatched ALL THE BEST Fall fashions for @firaboutique I'll post more on the hottest Fall trends later but for now, I want to tell you about the best hair trends we saw at the show that are too good to ignore. I hope you remember how to braid because this Fall is all about BRAIDS, BRAIDS, and more BRAIDS. I love this trend because it takes me back to my high school days of braiding hair on the bus on our way to dominate another school in volleyball. I had mad french braid skills, yo. Just ask my teammates. So dust those braids off and step up your look this Fall by adding a braid to your basic do. Below are my favorite braids with a twist.
Topknot French Braid- Ya'll know I love a good top knot, especially a half top knot. Well, take that top knot to the next level by adding in a braid. I rocked this look for a night out in Vegas, obviously.
Inside out and upside down braid - Say that 3 times fast. For this look flip your head over and start an inside out (or Dutch) braid from the bottom of your neckline. Gather the rest of the your hair on top of your head and pull it together in a messy bun. I pulled this look together in less than 5 mins. It's a great post workout, don't have time to wash my hair, look. Trust me.
Waterfall braid- This is my absolute favorite! This loose braid adds such a fun twist on any casual outfit. I saw several girls rocking this look at the show and I can't wait to master this look. I've included an easy 'how to' that I found on pinterest so you can start practicing NOW!
Double French Braids - I've been seeing a lot of celebs rocking this look - Fergie, the Kardashian clan, you know all the best role models. I think it looks best on girls with long hair but I'm loving this messy double dutch braid look for short haired ladies.
Half French Braid with a Ponytail - Jessica Simpson is rocking this look for her new active wear line. I think she looks like a real badass with this look. It's so simple- a half french braid in the front and then pull the rest into a messy ponytail. The messier the pony, the better here.
There's more to come on Fall fashion soon but until then, braid on my friends, braid on.
