HOTD: Braided Headband

I'm currently growing my hair out and my bangs are all over the place and I just hate that! Sometimes I just want to keep my bangs off my face without my hair looking flat and boring. Then I came across these hair tutorials by my two fave YouTube beauty gurus, Jen (frmheadtotoe.com) and Elessa (pursebuzz.com), and decided to try braiding my bangs into a headband. (watch videos below)

After countless attempts, I ended up with this.

Excuse the bareness of my face. It was around 2 am when I took these pictures ^^,
What I did:

First I decided where I liked my braid to start. I started my braid on the side to make it look more like a headband. Then I applied a little bit of styling gel to the part of the hair that I was about to braid to prevent little strands of hair from sticking out of the braid and keep it neat. Then for the braid itself, I just followed what Jen did on her video.


It's overwhelming how many types of braids there are!

    @Cream Puff, my sleeping habits are so screwed up. O_O BTW, I just used the old Splash control styling gel that I found lying 'round the house.

    @The Odd and Chic, thanks! I just hope I can create this look again. Haha!

    Cool blog, by the way :D
