I admit, my roommate had to help me out with this one — I can braid, but alas, I’m not as nimble with my fingers as I’d like to be. For this look, we were going to a casual concert and I wanted something a little unusual. I had blown dry my hair relatively straight that morning (using a flat brush, drying root to tip). So to get the look my roomie pulled back hair from each side, combined them both, and braided it into a neat fishtail braid (do it by bringing small sections from one side of your hair over to the other, alternating on each side). Then, she secured with a hair elastic, and used a little holding spray to keep any flyaways at bay.
