Hot or Not: Kim K's Braids


For the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, Kim Kardashian wore her hair long and loose, but mixed it up by adding a few random braids. If you know me at all, you know I LOVE a good hair braid (check out here, here, here and check me out on Glamour's site here) and so does Kim K, you gals loved her braid from this post.

What do you think of this look? At first I thought it was kind of weird, but it's really grown on me and I think it's a perfect way to mix it up for spring this year. To do something a little out of the box without switching up your entire look and would be really simple to re-create.

Make sure you use clear plastic bands like these Goody ones to tie it off. They really are invisible and I use them all the time. They stretch out so it's great for any thickness of hair.

I went to the link and love the braids you're sporting on Glamour's site. Kim's look great too. I need my hair to get longer before and can do this. I could probably use some extensions too...haha.

I love anything Kardashian, but I am not a fan of this particular look. The braids are too casual for her dress. I would have either pulled her hair back loosely or changed her outfit altogether.
