We got to work on a fun little hair tutorial with our girl Erica Beukelman of 1011 Makeup that's perfect for any of you ladies who are trying to up your hair game this year. We are always trying to keep our beauty game on the natural side so we tied in one of our favorite Herbivore Botanicals products too! Follow along and learn how to do the perfect messy topsy tail braid!

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Hot tool of your choice (curling iron, flat iron, etc.)
• Coconut Sea Mist Hair Spray
• Kenra Finishing Spray 
• Bobby pins & small rubber bands

STEP ONE: 
Using a hot tool of your choice, put some texture into your hair with waves or curls. The amount of curls/waves you place in your hair will determine how textured the end result, once style is complete, will be. 

STEP SIX:

For a more finished look, take a small section of the pony tail, from the underside, and wrap it around the rubberband securing it in the back with a bobby pin. 

STEP SEVEN:
Beginning at the bottom of the braid, pull apart the braid. Using your thumb and index finger, tug on the outside edges of each braid, gently loosing the hair to create a fuller and more undone braid.

You can repeat the technique on each section until you have reached the texture you desire. *for shorter hair, and heavily layered hair, you may see a lot of wispy hairs or ends come undone, begin by using smaller tugs on the hair...although we think the messier the better :)

STEP EIGHT:

Finish the look by touching up any of the pieces framing the face, or by pulling out any additional hair you would like to be loose. Lightly spray with Kenra finishing spray. 

There's no better time of year to get decked out in head to toe sparkles and sequins than the holidays. Christmas parties and New Year's Eve parties are the perfect excuse to get over-the-top festive and layer on the jewels. We worked with the raddest dream team to pull together a festive and fun inspirational editorial to get you excited about sparkly holiday soirees... enjoy!
