A few new hairstyles for the brave in heart

With the risk of being trite when I'm supposed to be posting something I did for someone else (are we still doing that?), I wanted to share two new awesome hairstyles I discovered.

1. The classic fishtail. Contrary to how it sounds, it does not look like this:

(thank goodness). It looks more like this:

It didn't work as well with my hair since it is layered, and is a little tricky to get at first, but I think it's a great spin on the classic braid once you get the hang of it. Click here for a great tutorial online.

2. The Waterfall Braid: I am yet to perfect this (obviously) but there are a lot of tutorials online

3. The "Vintage Bohemian Updo!" I found this one randomly online here. If you can ignore all the times she says "vintage," it actually makes for a great tutorial. I haven't actually done it yet, so no pictures yet. But it looks like it would work great for shorter hair.
