5 Ways To Wear Your Hair In A Braid

The best part about braiding our hair is that it doesn't have to look perfect. It can be messy, creative, and we can even twist one together without a mirror (we love when we can do our hair like that).

Instead of pinning tons of gorgeous images of hairstyles & braids, we encourage you to actually try one this week! Yes, try one! The Dainty Hooligan Team found inspiration in the following braid weaving tutorials, and we certainly hope that you find some, too!

1) Crown

This tutorial shows you how to create your very own crown...with a braid! This look is perfect to wear to an elegant occasion. 

2) Waterfall 

This waterfall braid may look complicated but it's actually not so difficult to pursue. Check it out.

3) Fishtail

If you spend your fair share of time on pinterest, this braid is no stranger to you. The fishtail is definitely one of our favorite braid styles to wear...

4) Five Strand

Who said you only needed three strands to braid your hair?

5) Lace

This lace braid is cute, simple, and perfect for casual events.

Outfit Of The Week

This week we're keeping it simple chic and in the theme of pink! (Valentine's Day is so close!)

We paired our Love Lucy Dotted Dress with these super cute tan wedges. The best part about these wedges is that they will match a variety outfits (which is pretty much our favorite thing to find in shoes)!

We tied it all together by keeping the jewelry simple. Featured is a gold statement bangle (that matches those adorable gold buttons at the front of the dress). 

Wear this outfit out to a special occasion or if you just feel like being a total classy babe! 

This look is definitely February ready. <3

Hair Color Trends of 2015

We are currently loving the unnatural hair color trend! With gorgeous shades of pinks and purples, it's really hard not to. We’ve seen this hair trend everywhere and we honestly can’t get enough of it.

If you’ve been thinking about trying it, but haven’t quite committed to the idea, the following inspiration we found on Pinterest just might be enough to convince you to actually go for it… yes you!

1) Pink

This pink color is soft and sweet. Of course, you can choose how intense you would want the color to be...

2) Mint

Whether you choose to add mint as highlights or to each strand of hair, it adds that perfect pastel color to your look. 

3) Purple

This color is extra fun and vibrant. There are so many different shades of purple to choose from. This could take awhile...

4) Two Tone

If you're feeling extra adventurous, try a two tone look with colors that would naturally blend well together. 

5) Pastel

Or, you know, just mix all of those pretty pastels together and rock it!

What do you think of this hair color trend? Which of these colors (or colors not mentioned) have you been wanting to try on your hair? Let us know in the comments!

Cute Nails To DIY

While many looks may be going in and out of style, it’s always comforting to know that manicures are always in… (Phew!)

When we sit down to paint our nails, we become artists. We invent our own patterns or even emulate looks we’ve favorited and gawked at on Pinterest for hours. Either way, there’s always somewhere to look for awesome nail inspiration.

Here are some manicures that we found and absolutely love:

1) Metallic Half Moons

OK, does it get much simpler than this? Probably not, but how cute are these diy nails nonetheless?

2) Disco Mani

These diy disco nails are perfect for any girl who loves to add a bit of glam to her look.

3) Golden Triangles

A simple triangle with a touch of sparkle. These nails are adorable.

4) Pink & White Nails

Try using two tones and experiment with different colors. Simply put, these nails are classy ;)

5) Polka Dot Nails

We always love an accent nail! It's what makes these polka dot nails extra unique.

Which one of these is your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
