bad hair day fix: side braid ponytail







Look familiar? Bad hair days are the worst and can totally ruin your day. This is an easy, foolproof style that tackles those dreaded "my-hair-looks-like-crap-please-help-me" moments. All you need is a comb, two clear elastics, a pair of earrings and under five minutes.

  6. That does look great! Although I'm not sure I know how to do a side braid, or what would happen to my growing-out bangs. Time for some experimentation!

    Next tutorial for bad face days please. ;)

  8. This is a great idea. I am entering bad hair territory as the temperatures get warmer, my hair is super curly and I am always looking for ways to style my hair. Thanks for the tips.

  13. I do something really similar. I'm going to start making my braid tighter so it will look like that when I pull it back into my ponytail. :) My bangs drive me nuts about every other day, so I usually just end up braiding my bangs into a side braid like that. :D

  15. Such a great idea! I usually pull a sock bun when I am having a bad hair day but this is a cooler alternative!
