Half Up Hairstyle, The Arrowhead Braid

A braided tie back style

Our hair tutorial this week shows how to create a braided half up style featuring a unique inverted triangle, or "arrowhead design."  This pretty tie back would be a great hairstyle for teens, women, and girls & for everyday occasions such as school, work, and other outings.

Now that "The Princess" is approaching junior high school, she has been excited about wearing more "down do's" or half up, half down hairstyles for school. Since she will no longer be out at recess several times a day during school hours, she is thinking that her long hair won't get tangled as easily, even when her hair is left down.

We love that this hairstyle is fairly simple, yet still unique.


Supplies needed:

• 1 small elastic
• pomade, gel, or hair wax (optional)
