Busy Philipps Long Straight Light Golden Blonde Braided Hairstyle

Added: 11 Jul 2012
Busy Philipps is wearing a pretty braided hairstyle that can be done in minutes. If you want a folksy, artsy look to flaunt this summer, give this quick and easy style a try. These golden blonde locks are blow-waved smooth and left out to fall over the shoulders showing off the jagged cut length and long layers. The top is braided to expose the best facial features and completes the over-all style beautifully. This is the perfect 'do for attending a music festival. Coachella here we come!

This hairstyle works with any hair texture, but the braid is best seen on slightly wavy or straight hair. If you opt for straight hair, don't bust out the straighteners and do a rough blow-dry only - this style should look effortless.

Next, create a deep side hair part and grab a section of hair from the crown to start braiding. Busy has used a corn braid, which looks "raised" on top of the hair, unlike a French braid which is flat. To get this look, instead of placing the strands of hair on top of each other when braiding them together, reverse it and pull them underneath each other. Keep the tension loose and once you have reached mid-neck length, pin it back loosely behind your ear.

Voila' you have a boho braid in less than a minute!
