Heidi braids with fabric

How pretty are these heidi braids from the Rachel Roy fall 2011 show? Refinery 29 just did a great tutorial. (And it would be cute with the new heart scarf from ban.do.)

P.S. More pretty hair!

  26. Whoa! $95 for a scarf?! That's way out of my budget. Its very pretty, but I much prefer the hunt for vintage Vera scarves. I found one for .50 cents one time at a vintage by the pound store here in SF! Others I've found on etsy average around $30.

    I wish my hair was long enough already for all these cute ideas! Grow hair, grow!

  31. Braids are such a simple way to make the hair look "done", I don't have very long hair so I just tie the braids back in a ballerina knot.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  33. I know lots of 13 year olds who would LOVE this look, thx

  34. I remember asking my mom to braid my hair like this when I was about six because my babysitter always braided fabric into her hair. Everything always comes back!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I've never had a long hair to do these kind of hair-artworks, but all your hair tutorials and hair posts in general make me want to grow my hair really really long.. and while waiting I'm still going to get inspired by your cute hair posts :) have a nice weekend!

  44. GASP!
    You know what I'm going to have to do now? I'm taking out my mama's old scarves that I've saved from years ago and I'm going to do my very best at working one or two into a braid in my hair. And you also know what? I'm going to put on a sassy little dress and be decked out in both for a picnic my husband and I are having (in a field of wildflowers!) to celebrate our wedding anniversary this coming week. Perfect! Thank you for sharing this...
