Braids, French Braids, and Dutch Braids

There are many different types of braids you can do.  There is the regular braid.  Another type of braid that there is is the Dutch braid.  That is the same thing as a regular braid and the only thing that you do differently is instead of crossing the strand over the other you cross it underneath.  You can also do a french braid.  I like these because you can start at the top of the head and add pieces of hair in as you go down.  This type of braid is good because it helps keep your hair out of your face.  The Dutch French Braid is my favorite braid out of all.  This braid is almost the same type of braid as the french braid expect you cross the hair underneath and that makes the braid pop out.  It looks really cool and difficult but it really isn't!  Those are four types of braids that I love!

How to straighten and curl your hair

There are many different ways to wear your hair for school.  Sometimes it can be hard to chose how you want to wear it. One way you can wear your hair is straight.  Some peoples hair is naturally straight, but if your hair isn't all you have to do is use a hair straightener and straighten your hair!  Another way to wear your hair is curly.  There are many different ways that you can do this.  Some people have naturally curly hair so they can just wear it natural, but if your hair is not naturally curly there are many things you can do to make you hair curly!  One way to make your hair curly is by using a hair curler.  Take a piece of your hair and wrap it around the barrel, hold for 30 seconds, then release your hair.  That piece should now be curly!  Continue to do this all to all of your hair.  You can also use a curling wand.  A curlying wand is almost the same thing as a hair curler expect there is no clamp and it is bigger at one end.  To make your hair curly you wrap your hair around the wand (make sure the smaller part of the wand is facing down!),  hold for a few seconds then release.  This will give your hair nice bouncy waves.  You can also make your hair curly by rope braiding it.  To do a rope braid you split your hair into two, then you twist both sections to the right, next twist the sections together by twist them to the left!  (You must twist them in different directions, if you don't the braid will not stay and your hair will not be curly!)  You should do this hair style at night and make sure your hair is damp!  Sleep with you hair like that and when you get up in the morning take it out.  Your hair will be nice a curly!  That is how you straighten your hair and curl it!
