3 Ways to Wear the Same Braid

I used to hate doing braids.......I remember when people started requesting that I do braids on my YouTube I started to freak out because I was so intimidated by them. Luckily I have one of the most amazing hairstylists as my British bestie @efidavies who made me learn how to do a 5 strand braid. It took me a long ass time to figure it out. It’s funny that I made my weakness into a strength and semi known for my braiding. But over the years I have been so blessed to get to assist Efi at so many shows. I think it’s almost important to assist or collaborate when you can because you never know what you might get out of it. It’s important to see that you can learn a lot from other people. It’s the way we grow. And In this case, I learned how to braid. Thank you @efidavies heart you dear friend! ❤️ #braidedbabe #braidedcrown #updo #braidsfordays #instabraid
Photo tip alert! One thing I’ll do for my voluminous looks besides adding my hairband by @hairtalkusa is I take a photo first, analyze it and then I figure out where it needs more volume. I create the volume by backcomb underneath the hair and fan out the hair where it curves in and goes out using Texture AIIR. And it totally works! This is what I call the knocked me sideways braid into a half pony on cutie @alexis_vail using a scrunchy by @brooklynandbailey enjoy! ❤️ #hairstyles #halfpony #scrunchies #brooklynandbailey #bighair #ponytail #hairinspo #sexyhair
Ive wanted to quit........... As I was scrolling through old pics today, I came across this one. This photo was right around the time I started to really nail down formulas for AIIR (@aiirprofessional ) The product development for AIIR was the easy stage for me and it seemed like a walk in the park compared to the months and years following this time because the challenges for AIIR only got larger as the business development of AIIR and team grew. As AIIR’s full launch is approaching in the upcoming weeks, I cant help but think about all the times I wanted to take the easy route and quit. Growing can unravel insecurities from feeling you’ll fail, perfectionism or simply struggling to not let the negativity of others hinder you. Its a super uncomfortable process and sometimes you wanna throw in the towel and I just want to say that I have had more of my share of wanting to give up. Even in the last month I've had thoughts of WTF am I doing, this is too much I want to quit. I just want to share this with you because as im approaching launch a lot of my close friends keep on asking me how im feeling, and saying aren't you glad you didnt quit, and too be honest I am sooo glad I didnt quit. Im happy I have had the most supportive friends, family and team. Wasn't easy but we got though it. And you guys can too. Sometimes THE most uncomfortable challenge that gets thrown your way isn't a challenge at all, its setting you up for the next challenge and you can handle the next one, and the next one, and the next one because you keep leveling up and learning each time because you didnt quit. Just something to think about as youre navigating through your goals. Its tough inner work man, you can feel misunderstood and times feel like you are alone. But you’re not, there are people like myself that have gone through it, aren't perfect and have had feelings of quitting too. My recommendation is to give yourself a quick pity party to feel and then wake up that positive self talk and tell yourself you are one bad b*%$@ and you can get through anything. Just a reminder today! Go get it now. #azblogger #hairinspo #goals #dontgiveup
My confessions for IG worthy big braids! 1) Grit and volume by using the right product. Soon dropping a mousse you will all be gushing over that is perfect for giving long lasting volume, with some other mega perks ill fill you in on soon. 2)@hairtalkusa hairbands have been an absolute must for me. Pop a hair band in and you instantly get volume in literally seconds. 3)After curling the hair add Texture AIIR by @aiirprofessional a product I created because I was getting frustrated with texture sprays being too heavy and some creating knots. 4)Create your braid of choice and add a bit more texture spray before you delicately pull the braid a part. When you do this it allows the hair to have substance instead of falling flat. 5)Also helps to have a gorgeous and fun model like @alexis_vail #hairinspo #hairtalkextensions #hairtalkambassador #azblogger #fashionblogger #hotd #bigbraids #braidguru #romantichair
Twisted edge crown braid on @christa_sandstrom this is an oldie but goodie for sure! I just love the delicate pops of color using custom extentions by @hairtalkusa I hope everyone has an amazing weekend! ✨#hairtalkambassador #extensions #pastelhaircolor #braids #bohobraids #softbraids #azmodel
How angelic does this Halo braided crown style on angel face @alexis_vail look? Alexis has hair of a legit goddess and I added a @hairtalkusa hairband in it to make it extra full. I gently created double rope braids, draped across her hairline and pulled it out softly with Texture AIIR texture spray. I can’t get over how gorgeous she is! ✨ #milkmaidbraid #hairstyles #braids #braidedbabe #bohohair #festivalhair #romantichair #bohohair
