MAMA STYLE: BANG BRAID TUTORIAL

after getting many many requests, i decided to ignore the fact that i'm horrible at this kind of thing and do a bang braid tutorial. it's the simplest way to get your hair off your face, it's perfect for frizzy weather, bad hair days, and dealing with post-partum hair loss. and hopefully i was able to show you that and you get something out of this, and that you don't walk away thinking, "that natalie, i swear...."

right!


derp derp.
p.s. much better tutorials for this found HERE and HERE.
p.p.s. our blowfish shoes giveaway winner has been announced! right HERE.

  32. Does this work if you actually have real bangs? I feel like it would be really pokey. And yes, I realize that the easiest way to answer this question is to try it, but Im stuck here nursing anyway..so I typed it out instead

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thank you! This tutorial is exactly what I needed!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Love this tutorial! Now as I grow out my stupid bangs that I stupidly cut I have something to do with them besides my plethora of headbands.

  37. Thank you, thank you, THAAAANK YOUUUUU!

    I watched it, I executed it successfully, and many happy times ensued. By which I mean I nonchalantly did a happy dance and squealed barey audibly. (I was at work.)

    Also, you're adorable and fabulous! :-)

  38. I watched Chopped All-Stars and Anne Freitag(one of the judges) totally stole your bang braid. You should request royalties. :)

    Totally love your blog--obviously, cuz I was thinking about it while watching tv. now that's sayin' something.

    :)
