I don't know about you, but most of the time when I find myself scrolling through Pinterest and looking for fun new hairstyles, they tend to be way more complicated than the photo would have you believe. I love rocking a cool braid, but not when it means constantly tugging at my scalp like so many headache-inducing tutorials tell me to do. All I want is a casual look that will last through the day, but instead I end up having nightmare flashbacks to my mom combing out tangles for my French braid as a kid.
As you can probably imagine, I prefer to keep my locks loose like with this awesome faux waterfall headband braid! For those of you with longer hair looking for something even more relaxed than this easy pull-through braid, the mermaid-inspired method shown below is exactly what you need. Whether you have super-fine or wavy hair, it will definitely make a big splash without a lot of fuss.
The style is a more delicate take on the traditional French braid, using itty-bitty sections of your hair to create an ethereal "S" shape. With each additional segment, you create a ripple along the sides that will have you feeling the beachy vibes despite the fact that summer is still a few months away. You might also feel a sudden urge to watch a certain Disney classic about a young girl named Ariel…
Take a look at the simple steps in the video below and SHARE the style tip with your friends!
