Woven Braid Pull Back Hairstyle

This week we are showing a fun half-up woven hairstyle that "The Princess" has been wearing a lot lately. This style has a relaxed, soft, bohemian feel to it (which is so trendy right now) and would be great for teens, women, and girls. I could see this style working for casual occasions; A day at the beach, hanging out with friends, a date, or school.  But, this would also be pretty for more formal events such as a wedding, prom, etc.

Although the braiding/weaving in this hairstyle looks to be quite intricate, it is actually fairly quick and easy to create (as shown in our tutorial, above.) This style should work with long hair and medium length hair.  If your hair texture tends to frizz or is prone to flyaways, I would suggest weaving the hair while wet, or use pomade/gel to help keep the braid smooth for you.

Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:

• 1 medium size, clear elastic.
• 2-3 alligator clips/claw clips to help hold things together while you are weaving.
• Pomade/gel/hair wax to help control flyaways.

Over the past 8 years that we have been hair blogging/vlogging, we have done quite a few woven hairstyles and they always seem to become our favorites.  I think the weaving pattern is just so beautiful! One of the very first hairstyles we posted on our blog (and still one of our all time favorites) was our "woven pigtails" in 2008.  And then the basket weave half-up in 2009. This "woven braid pull back" is a more grown up version (which my daughter loves now that she is a teenager!)
