THE CHUNKY BRAID


I'm into braids at the minute. Maybe it's all the Frozen thingymabobby.. looking like the real life Elsa wouldn't be so bad. I've mostly been watching a lot of YouTube and totally dreaming about Rapunzel hair like Amber Fillerup. She does the best hairstyles. My hair isn't half as thick and fabulous, but I have a bash at something similar every now and then. I'm a creature of habit with my hair so I have to actually push myself to have my hair anything other than down. It's just a comfort blanket having your hair around your face!

How I did it is all in the video, although it's more of a guide rather than a tutorial.. Do you know how difficult it is to plait in a reflected screen and actually make sure you're getting what needs to be in shot?! I struggled. Thankfully it's the kind of thing that (I think..) looks better a bit messy. Perfect for my less than perfect plaiting skills!
