HAIR: simple party idea // Cerys

Welcome to my blog post, please follow us and comment anything you would like us to try review and any other blog posts or tags you want us to do, all beauty or fashion related please ;) it would help a lot! <3

This is the under 5 minute side sweep i will be showing you how to do, i hope this helps with any occasion really, especially help you all will last minute party's for the new year, enough rambling ;) now let me show you what you need and how to do this side sweep, enjoy! you can find us on twitter @TeensWithABlog <3 (p.s this hair do takes practice but once you know how to do the snake braid you will be a pro)

What you''ll need:

How to:

First you need to brush all the hair so there are no knots, 

Then take a section of hair from the front of whatever side you want (about and inch or two),




Put the rest of the hair away out your face in a loose pony tail,




Then split the section of hair in to two equal pieces,





Then grip one to the back of the head out the way,







we now are going to do something called a snake braid (i will show you how but i can't promise it will make sense, not very good at explaining ;) i'm sure if you get stuck youtube will have a tutorial somewhere)

                                              You just do a normal 3 strand braid/plait,

Then you take the two side strands and put one over the middle to the other side strand so you should have two strands together on one side then the other strand should be by its self. (confusing right? pictures will hopefully make more sense),

Where the side stands meet (should be on the middle strand) you pinch then you pull up where you are pinching while holding onto the middle strand with the other hand,


Try and follow the numbers on the previous pictures if you are completely confused ;)







You then slightly loosen the braid so it has a snakey looking wave going through the braid. it should be half the length of the braid you started off with,





Then grip back the braid then do the same with the second section of hair you griped back earlier. you can backomb the hair to add volume and then apply hairspray where needed. you can curl or straighten or wave your hair but my hair is naturally straight so i left it and backcombed a little :)

Thanks for reading hope this helped! Happy New Year! <3
