DIY: Glam Braids
What you need:
Two hair ties/elastics
A brush
Knot-free hair
How to Get the Look:
Step 1: Keep hair in place by creating a deep side part,
then use a mixed bristle brush to smooth down flyaways and
frizz.
Step 2: Apply a small amount of pomade to your fingers to
give shine and hold to the braid. Start French-braiding a
three-inch piece of hair at the full side of your part.
Step 3: Pull the rest of your hair into a low side
ponytail. Wrap the ponytail around its base to form a bun. Secure
with bobby pins.
Step 4: Hold your style in place with a mist of light-hold
hairspray. Apply a little extra on the braid to keep it from
unraveling.

braid
The cascade braid recently exploded as the new "trend braid" of the season. The waterfall effect looks cool and complex, but it's easier to style than you think. Give this beautiful braid a try when Beautylish takes you through the how-to!
STEPS 1 + 2 Section OffThis style works best on straight or loose waves. Brush out all the knots with a wide tooth comb. Part your hair how you normally would, and begin your braid on the right side of your part. Grab the top section and divide into three strands.
STEPS 3 + 4 Braid As UsualBraid your strands regularly three times, beginning from the right strand. When you get to the left strand (the part closest to the middle of the scalp), add more hair to it like a French braid and fold that strand to the center.
STEP 5 Drop the StrandThis is where it gets tricky. After you've French braided your left strand (now center), drop the right strand and let it fall down. Pick up another small section of hair next to where your original strand fell—that's your new right strand.
STEP 6 Step and RepeatRepeat this process—French braid the left strand, drop the right strand, and pick up an adjacent new piece. Gradually cascade the style towards the middle of your head.
STEP 7 Pin and SecureOnce you've reached a comfortable point to stop your braid, secure it to your scalp with bobby pins. You don't have to pin up your hair perfectly in this section since you'll cover up the pins with a hair accessory later.
