Day 5: Fishtail Braid

Girls who have watched Frozen will absolutely love the fishtail braid. Ice Princess Elsa had a hairstyle that was elegant and simple to create; It is elegant like a french braid, but easier to create because there are only two main sections of hair and adding strands from the remaining hair in an alternating pattern. 

This style is another one that’s exceptionally versatile and adaptable. You can transform this style into so many different styles – both pigtails and side ponytails look gorgeous with it! The only limit is your imagination!

Day 6: Woven Double Braid

Day 7: Waterfall Braid

There are a few basic steps for creating this gorgeous waterfall braid. Firstly, part of your hair is braided, and then alternating sections are left to cascade like in an actual waterfall. This  style creates volume at the top while leaving length on the bottom when you don’t want the hassle of a full-blown up-do!

Day 8:  Braided Bun

This polished braided bun hairstyle uses hair from the front top section of your hair to create an elegant braided border. It’s perfect for both daughters and moms alike!

Day 9: French Braid and Messy Bun

This style is a must-know for putting a semi-polished twist on the popular messy bun! 

Day 10: Braided Flowers Hairstyle

This trendy braided flowers hairstyle is way easier than it looks and is super girly and feminine. You begin by sectioning off three strands of hair into ponytail elastics, pulling each into a pull-through twist at the top. Then braid the section beneath the elastic and secure it. Lastly, twist the three secured braids into a flower and secure them with bobby pins. A surprisingly simple half-up half-down hairstyle.
