Okay, now this one is an easy one and everyone is seeing this hairstyle made famous by Lauren Conrad from “The Hills” on MTV. (I even saw a few variations the other night on Dancing with the Stars.)
Items Needed: One rubber band (preferably small and clear), and a couple bobby pins.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes.
There are likely 101 ways to do this braid… pinching off with a rubber band just after the French right above the ear, braiding through as I have done (with a bobby pin tuck), tucking the braid behind the ear, etc. It all is a matter of preference and hair length. Try each out and see which works best for you.
Many of you may think that this was too simple or common of a hairdo to post here, however this was a special request from Samantha (a fan of the site who is only 12 years old). Sam, this one’s for you!
Thanks ,everyone!

Hey,
when i do a messy bun and at the end of the day when i want to take it off it tangles my hair.does that happen with your daughters hair? I think its it cuz my hair is so Long ;(
Hey, i’m Brazilian and i’ve found your wonderful website today, i really love it! But, when i saw these Lauren Conrad pic, I thought this was a relief braid (i’m sorry if this is wrong, my english is just for fun, so…), u know what i’m saying… the hair is braided through out, the entire braid is made inside out, to make a relief (i really think that ‘relief’ isn’t the word i want, i hope u understand it). Thanks for those great hairstyles and i hope u continue doing that!
so its kind of like a quinn fabray braid right????
in this water fall braid video you look so thin !
Mirelli it does tangle my hair and my hair is to my shoulders. It also tangles my sisters hair. Hers its to her chest. So I think really it tangles all hair.
Thank you so much for this! i have wondered how to do it for so long!
Hi, i love the hairstyles you create for girl and i’m a 14 year-old girl myself, i find that this is one of the most simplest and quickest hairstyles you have created! it’s very beautiful too! I also find that i can’t seem to do the french braid on myself, because i have trouble looking and my sense of hand coordination…i braid really slow, kind of messy, and not really organized…can u make a video to help guide me??? please, my world revolves around cute fast hairstyles! -Thanks!
Hi, i love your hairstyles that you post and i am 11 and love this website!!! Also if you can please post some videos that you can do a lot on your own hair. Thanks!!!!!
What is the metal circle that you have your hair rubber bands on? It looks like a mess-free solution to keeping track of hair rubber bands.
It is a band holder from Goody. Not sure what it is called… it came with a package of hairbands that I bought several years ago. I cannot find them anymore, so I wrote Goody to ask where they can be purchased. Once I hear back, I will let you know. Thanks for writing!
