We love, love, LOVE featuring real brides. Share your bridal style with us!

Poof Triangle

 This is a very simple but turned out really cute.

Make a far lateral part.  Along the part make 3 small ponytails, as shown below.

 The next row you are going to make 2 small ponytails taking 1/2 of the 2nd ponytail and splitting one to each of the 2 ponytails.  Shown below

 Pull the 2nd row ponytails and pull them to a point.  Shown below.  (I also use a small square of hair to keep the ponytails in place)



Make It or Break it Lauren Style

We are so excited that Make it or Break it is back on.  This style is from the first week it was back on.  I apologize for the lack of pictures even with my older daughter we have moments of not wanting to cooperate.

 First make a poof center french braid as shown below make the braid loose.

 Make a simple braid on each side with the hair across the front of her face down to her ear. 

 Pull all the hair into a high ponytail.

 Hook the 2 rolls together with an elastic.

Simple Braid Headband

This is really simple fun and cute.

All you do it make a normal part in her hair we use a side lateral part.

Then take a small section of hair at the back of the lateral part and braid it to the ends.

Take another small amount of hair across the part and braid it to the ends.

Combine both braids underneath all of her hair and secure with an elastic. 

The only thing to remember is make sure the hair on the sides is smooth under the braid on both sides.
