For more fun and easy hairstyle ideas, please visit... www.cutegirlshairstyles.com Items Needed Brush, one hair elastic, 3-4 Goody Spin Pins {if not, then 6-7 bobby pins}, curling iron {for pre-braid texture}, hairspray {if desired}.

Since this is prom season, we decided to finally film this hairstyle for all of you. If you do not know how to fishtail braid, please see our easy step-by-step video here first... tinyurl.com Before the tutorial, I slightly curled the top layer of the hair only, using a curling wand, leaving the underneath layers as is. I then gathered all of the hair to the side by the right ear and created the fishtail braid. Once the braid was finished, I secured it with the hair elastic and tugged on the sides of the braid just to make the braid appear more loose. Then I rolled the braid up into a bun and pinned it just behi! nd the ear. To avoid having to use so many bobby pins, I used 3 Goody Spin Pins. These pins are the perfect solution for holding hair buns together all day! I figure that each spin pin saves you from having to use 2-3 bobby pins, and they come in colors to match your hair type. If you would like to purchase Goody Spin Pins, you can find them at Wal-Mart, Target, Sally's, etc. You can also find them on Amazon here... tinyurl.com This braided updo hairstyle is perfect for prom, homecoming, weddings, or ...
