i have a love/hate relationship with braiding. yes as a young basketball star i would spin my hair into a lovely frenchie to get it out of my eyes, but would this be my cutest style? nah… never. plus i was sweaty. this aside a long sweeping braid could not be prettier when done correctly. if it is not done correctly you can definitely look a little sister-wivesy or like you belong in avonlea with anne of green gables. keep it loose but in control and you should have a perfect twist to the day. 

now for the no-ropes. with braids come strict rules:

1) If you put a bow on it, you have gone off the road of chic and driven right into the town of polygamy. Be careful of your accoutrements. Cute doesn’t mean cutesie. 

2) So you gotta lot of hair, huh? Tame that shit. No one wants to get lost in a nest when sitting behind you on the train. 

3) Over 15? Don’t do two. DO NOT DO TWO! That means you old lady who works out next to me at the gym. You look silly.

i’m not quite sure what it is, but an icy blonde just looks so badd, so mischievous, so slyly naughty. perhaps its because a true platinum blonde is just two - three minutes from having no hair at all, but the danger behind a white blonde is just too much to take. 

platinum blondes gotta look like a million bucks so invest in a top-notch conditioner and stay away from the heat of curling irons, blow dryers and flat irons or else your color me badd will just be color BE bad

As a child of the 90s grunge era, I am no stranger to hearing my mom say “get that hair out of your face!” I completely agree, I think pushing that hair behind the ears or pulling it off your face occasionally, can really brighten you up. One day I pulled my hair behind a headband and into a tight bun, and I could NOT have received more compliments on my make up or face. One day next week, you should blow dry it back and enjoy the “did you do something different today?” comments. 

While I’m down with the bun and a well-coifed pony, I just can’t get behind this wet trend with hair gelled down. 1) You automatically look dirty like you’ve been digging for meth behind a trash can 2) I can’t even imagine touching that hair, how disgusto?

This style reminds me of an Onion article:

swooped, whispy, blunt or parted, bangs are a welcome addition in the fall. no longer does one have to worry about the sweaty curtains that sometimes stick to the forehead, chilly weather make fall fringe a must have under hats. 

unlike many, i believe power bangs can elongate your forehead. be careful of how you bang.

case in point:
