Happy Accident



What do you do when it's 90+ degrees outside and you have 20 minutes to get ready and get out the door? Panic? No, braid! I haven't worn french braided pigtails since high school gymnastics, but I decided this occasion called for one of my classics! To make it look not as young, I pretzel twisted the ends and used bobby pins to secure. This happy accident turned out awesome and I will use it again to beat this summer heat for sure!

Thanks Christy!!!

I'm a super fast braider! I did my hair in like 12 minutes then used the last 8 minutes to throw on a dress and mascara! I actually forgot jewelry this day....which is so not me, but I was in a big hurry!

Aww...thanks! So glad they are in again! I didn't get to use my skills much after high school up until the last few years. It's the best/easiest/quickest fix to the humid summer for long hair ladies for sure!!
