The Braided Up-do (& no heat!)

Hi my lovelies! Its been a little while since I've posted a hair tutorial so I thought why not today?! [since I finally have time... I hate school]. Over 2 months ago I posted about a no-heat braided updo. I literally learned how to do this hairstyle about 30 minutes before I actually tried it out. Now I don't recommend to do that at all.. but I was feeling adventurous that day. I needed a quick hairstyle that looked like it took a long time yet didn't require me to dry my [very long and thick] hair. Anyone remember that post? Here's a picture to remind you!

Sunday.

I woke up late this morning as always. I was planning on washing and drying my hair, straight, like normal. But the planned failed when I got out of the shower and I noticed that it was already 9am. Church starts at 9:30.... oh Lord. Typically, I would just throw it up in a bun and try to make it look decent but today I got somewhat adventurous. 

Usually, I always tell people to NEVER try a new hairstyle minutes before you are leaving to go somewhere... but I thought "what the heck". 

So, I needed a hairstyle that would work for wet hair because there was no way I could dry my hair in less than 15 minutes. So... I looked on pinterest for "Wet hairstyles" and found one that seemed easy yet beautiful! This braided updo is elegant and EASY! It took me probably less than 10 minutes yet looked like it took me at least 30. 

Let me know if you want me to show you step by step how I got this look! Enjoy your sunday.

C'est la vie,

J
