How-To: Chic Shoelace Braid

If you think this style is impossible to replicate, think again. Hairstylist Cash Lawless shows you exactly how to recreate this chic, badass shoelace braid in minutes!

The tools you'll need:

1. Volumizing mousse

2. Hair elastics

3. Bobby pins

1. Give your hair grip.

Apply Philip B. Russian Amber Imperial Volumizing Mousse from root to end to give your hair grip, so your shoelace braids stay in tightly and the hairs don't slip out.

2. Begin tying two pieces of hair, on either side of your part, like you would a shoelace.

Part your hair down the middle, and then grab two pieces of hair on either side of your part at the point of your hairline. Tie them in a loose knot as if you're tying your shoes.

3. Add small pieces of hair to the sections you're tying.

Similar to French braiding, add small pieces of loose hair to the sections that you're tying in knots as you angle the braid down toward your ear and back toward the crown of your head.

4. Pin the shoelace braid halfway between your hairline and your crown.

Hold the braid in place by crisscrossing two bobby pins. Repeat steps one through four on the other side of your head.

5. Gather all your hair in a ponytail.

Once your two shoelace braids are secured with bobby pin "X" formations, take all the remaining hair and pull it into a high ponytail, securing it with an elastic hair band.

6. Fishtail braid the ponytail.

To fishtail braid, divide the ponytail in half and take a tiny piece of hair from the left half of the ponytail and cross it over to the right half. Then, take a piece from the right half and cross it over, incorporating it with the left half of your hair. Continue all the way to the end of your ponytail.

7. Wrap the fishtail braid around the base of the ponytail. 

Position the braid in a circle on its side so you can see all the detail, and then pin it down with a bobby pin.

Glam Half-up Bouffant Tutorial

Some of us just can’t manage to do the complicated beautiful hairstyles that professionals do at home. That is why we are showing you how you can make your appearance a little different without having lots of skills. For this retro hairstyle you just need some hairspray and a thin comb.

• When doing a special hairstyle, it is better that the hair is not freshly washed, since it is less manageable.
• Using the handle of a thin comb, divide your hair and place your hairline on one side.
• Tease the hair on the back of your head with the comb to get more volume there.
• Tame any frizz at the back of your hair and pin it through the mid-lengths.
• Pull out the front locks of your hair in front of your ears. You may slightly shift the front locks upwards for a more retro look.
• Fixate the hairstyle with some hairspray. 

You are done and looking gorgeous like a diva from the 60s!
