Okay, before I share this hair tutorial, you should know: I was not a hair stylist in a former life, so I’m no expert. However, being a bored only child growing up I spent a lot of time in the bathroom making all sorts of crazy makeup looks, taking selfies before they were a thing of my “work,” and doing all sorts of strange hair styles. What can I say, I was a creative one. Or a weirdo, whichever. Some of them still work, like my beloved top knot. (Sorry, this is not a top knot tutorial, but I promise I will post one soon!) Some of them, well, probably did not.

But something I’ve never been able to master? The french braid. I’ve had many different people try to teach me how to french braid, and for some reason I just can’t get it.

So, instead of doing one of those fancy french braid things that wrap around my head, or even fancier, the fishtail braid, I thought I’d attempt something a little easier, so I started with a simple volume hair tutorial, then created this super simple partial crown braid, and pinned back to add a little volume up front.

So, have a few minutes to spare? With the help of a few new products from Suave’s Luxe Style Infusion line found at Walmart for everyday low prices, I was able to blow dry my damp hair and get it styled in about 10 minutes. The perfect amount of time for me in the morning! ;)
