4th of July Outfit          From almost the beginning of June, I have been stressing about what I am going to wear for the fourth of July. It has to be kinda cool because it is in July, but it also has to be patriotic. I finally found a cute shirt I really like from Old Navy   in the Juniors section. It is cute, patriot, and modest. Then I am just wearing denim shorts and my hair in two braids so it is out of my face or a high ponytail. I also have a cute navy blue headband I might wear. Then my earings! I have super cute earings that are red, whilte, and blue stars! I hope this helps you figure something out for you to wear on the fourth of July!!

Here are some really quick hairstyles to make it look like you spent a lot more time. These hairstyles are also super cute for a normal, unrushed day. I hope these hairstyles really help you get ready faster on those last minute days. Enjoy! Double Twist:     This hairstyle is super easy. All you do is part your hair down the middle in the front.

Hair Towel     Because I have long hair after I take a shower and wash my hair I have to put my hair up in a towel. When you have a big towel on your head it is hard to do anything because the towel will just fall off your head. Recently I got a hair towel from Norwex I immediately tried it out.  It is so light I could barely even tell it was there. It also dried my hair really well.     The hair towels are also really easy to use. All you do is tilt your head down. Put the towel on with the button right where your hair starts. Tuck all your hair inside. Then, just twist the towel and button it up.     Go buy yourself one of these towels  here .

Beauty Comes at A Price, But is it Worth the Price? I tried using these silicone no heat curlers. Click  here  to buy them at Walmart. How to Use Them To put them in you take the hook and put it through the curler. Then you put some hair on the hook and pull it through the curler. Sleeping You sleep in them for the whole night. They are really uncomfortable. While sleeping in these curlers, I woke up a bunch of times and it was really hard to find a comfortable position. But, you can also wear them during the day if you wanted to have curly hair in the evening.  Results As you can see in the picture the left side of my hair is longer than the right side. Also, the right side has tighter curls than the left side. I did the same thing to both sides, so I do not know what makes the difference. So, basically other than the two sides being different, they work. It just depends on what kind of curls you like.

First, you need to brush your hair out and spray with some water and gel.  Then you want to start at the  top of your head and divide your hair into three sections. Start braiding like normal. Take the right side of the middle piece so the middle piece is now on the right. Now take the left piece and bring it to the middle. With that left piece add some more hair to make it a bigger piece. Then take the right piece and bring it over the middle piece and add in more hair.  Continue doing this until you run out of hair to add in. Then just braid your hair normally till the end.
