Pic: February US Vogue

Yeah I considered doing a picture by picture clip-in-braid tutorial the morning after winter formal but one of my trouble-seeking friends kept me awake until 5 in the morning chasing her annoying ass around. No, I'm not bitter. Here's the shorter version:
1. Buy some fake hair in your color. Fake=cheap Human=sketchy and pricey
2. Cut into smaller pieces..sew in wig clips
3. Tease your hair in the spots you put the clips in.
4. Braid one long braid down the side of your head, starting below the ear....hairspray
