How to: The "Lauren Conrad" Braid (aka Side French Braid)

Yes, this is another how-to have revolves around LC...but lets face it she is a style icon! Okay so this seemed super hard to me at first, but then I realized how easy it was! So in just a few steps I will get you a little closer to having the essence of Lauren- well maybe not, but at least her hair style!

Step 1: Select a piece a hair about 1-2 inches from you forehead and grab all the hair to the front of it.

Step 2: Start braiding normally- be super thorough in being tight and neat because it will make a huge difference. If you don't know how to braid then search "How to braid" on YouTube because you will most likely get a good informational tutorial.

Step 3: After braiding about twice start grabbing hair as you go along. So, when you are about to braid a piece of hair in, select another piece that is seperated and braid that piece in as well as the other one. This is called a french braid. You get it? I'm probably just confusing you...

Step 4: Once you french braid down to your ear, braid the rest of the piece normally.

Step 5: Take the braid piece of hair and pull it back almost like a headband but further up. You should have some hair at the bottom or else it looks kinda strange.

Step 6: To secure the braid take two bobby pins with the wiggly side facing up. One should be placed going down and one should be crossed over it going up. (See second picture)

And that's it! I know it's hard and if you need someone to explain it to you through a video juicystar07 has a great one- that's wear I learned it!
Catch you gals later
