Florida Hair Styles

I'm finally back from Florida! I feel like I haven't blogged in a long time....so prepare for lots of new posts! I took over 200 pictures in Florida and I can't wait to share some of them.

I got to hang out with my awesome cousin the whole time I was there and we loved doing our hair. Here are some of the flower hair styles we did. 

Back In Time

Lately I've been busy studying American Literature. While learning about all these amazing authors and seeing all their pictures, I've become inspired by the fashion in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These self-portraits are the result of my inspiration. 

Spring is Sure to Follow

"No matter how long winter is, Spring is sure to follow."

 The ground at my house may be currently covered in snow but I keep reminding myself that spring will soon come! I've recently created this new Pinterest board with inspiring spring images: Lexalex: Spring 

13 Ways To Wear a Knit Headband

I'm always trying to find easy new ways to wear my hair with a headband. 

Here are 13 of my favorite ways! 

1) Headband Over Hair

Simply throw your headband on over your hair. This is probably the most popular way to wear a headband

2) Headband Under Hair

This is anther popular way to wear a headband. You pull the headband down to your neck and then pull it to the top your head.

3) Pony tail

Here's a cute way to wear a headband! Simply pull your hair into a pony tail and then put a headband on. This is great for keeping the hair out of your face.

4) Low Up-Do

This is a little more difficult. I put my hair into 2 loose pig tail braids and then arranged them in a low up-do with bobby pins. This hair style reminds me of the 20's.

5) Pigtail Braids

 Just separate your hair into 2 parts and braid away! 

6) Side Sock Bun

For this hair style, it's best to have wavy hair. You'll also need a sock to create your sock bun! I love this hair style for special occasions. 

7) Headband Under Messy Side-Hair

For a messier look, you can tease your hair, brush it all to the side, and then pull on your headband.

8) Headband Over Messy Side-Hair

Do the same thing as the previous style, just put the headband over your hair rather than under.

9) Side Pony Tail

This is pretty easy! Just put your headband and then pull your hair into a side pony.

10) Side Braid

I like to braid my hair to the side before I put on the headband. 

11) Sock Bun

This is like the Side Sock Bun but it is a little less fancy! Once again, you'll need a sock.

12) Pony Tail Braid

This hair style is great if you want to make a fashion statement. Put your hair in a pony tail and then fishtail braid it. 

13) Side French Braid

You'll need to be able to french braid for this hair style. I started with my hair like it was for the messy side hair. After that, I began to french braid it. 

Hope this gave you some ideas for the next time you wear a headband! What are your favorite headband hair styles? 

Half-Braid Hair

Here's the hair style I decided on for my Birthday a few days ago. My hair is now to my hips (quite past my bellybutton!) I love this half braid because it keeps the hair out of my face but I'm still able to keep it down.

French Braid Waves

One of my favorite hair styles is french braid waves. All I do is french braid my half-dry hair, leave it in for a day, and then enjoy big waves! It a great summer style.
