Braided Side Topsy Tail.

Don't worry. It's not that bad. Trust me, if I can do it... you can do it!

Last night I just didn't feel like washing my hair. I had done the Zoë Twist yesterday, and I really wanted to give my hair one more day to grease itself up before I washed it. And no-- that's not gross. It's good for my hair, OK? So, instead of the whole shampoo routine, I tried something different. I Wrap Snap & Go curled my dry, dirty hair.

When I woke up, I took out the curlers and was a little dismayed to find that the back hardly curled at all, whereas the front was all spiraled. Bummer. But I gave this style a go anyway and this is the braided side topsy tail that I came up with:

Oh my, I loved it! It's so simple. Here are the steps:

Begin with wavy, crimped, curly or whatever hair you prefer.
Create a deep side part in the front of your hair.
Braid the front sections of your hair and secure them with clear plastic bands.
Pull your hair into a side ponytail.
Using a Topsy Tail tool (or just your own awesome skill), create a small hole right above your ponytail holder.
Pull your ponytail up and through the hole to make a topsy tail.
Finish with a flower or leave it as-is.
Voila-- you're finished!

This style would be so beautiful for those ladies with longer hair. I just can't wait until mine is longer so it will cascade over my shoulders in soft waves. Oh, that will be the day!
