Remember this Summer Hairstyles post where I wanted to try new styles this summer? Well I finally did. Just one, but at least I'm branching! I've been wanting to try something new to wear to work that was quick, wouldn't look flat by the time I was off work, and was different than my sock bun. Now, you may have already seen the pictures if you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram (Kristen_Lawler).
It was so super easy! I thought it would take me a while, but took less than 10 minutes. I kept my usual side part and split up the smaller side into two horizontal sections. Then, I started with the top section, separated that section and put the rest of my hair into a ponytail. Then I just french-braided it back to my crown and then finished out the braid to the ends and put a bobbypin to keep it set. Then did the same with the bottom section. When my two braids were done, I pulled back my un-braided hair into a ponytail and styled the front to my liking (I just swooped my bang area down and back) and when I was ready to put my elastic in, I added the two braids and removed the bobbypins.

I love these ideas~! I have super thin hair so not sure if it would work without seeing too much of my scalp but I think it would be a great look for an outdoor concert.
It turned out great! I Love it!
SO FUN! I do the same thing with Ponies - and when i try a top knot/sock bun the Hubs just laughs at me!
Such a fun look, especially for summer!

Super cute look .... I love braids & twists ... They add interest to plain hairstyles. Am totally going to try this pony out.... If my arms don't get too tired from all that braiding !
No, no, no! Way too reminiscent of junior high... all you need are some butterfly clips! You might want to try this is on hair that is dirty so you don't see the parts on the braid so much or do a much looser french.
I love this look! I usually juts twist, instead of braiding, and I always swivel the loose ends into a bun of sorts! Great post :)
