Braided Half Up | Hairstyles for Prom

BONUS VIDEO! Be sure to check back here this coming Wednesday night, to see a bonus family video! It'll be a Room Tour of Daxton & Paisley's room! Paisley is so excited for you to see her new bed!

With Prom season right upon us, the girls and I wanted to give you an easy half-up hairstyle perfect for the dance. This is an updated variation of our Pancake Braids w/Sock Curls tutorial that we put up years ago {   • Pancake Braids w/ Sock Curls | Bohemi...  }.

We began by curling Brooklyn's hair with a wand, and helping set the curls with hairspray. For the accents, you can use any type of braids you want, but I feel the best are Dutch Fishtails and 3-strand Dutch Braids. {This is because they pancake the best.} For this tutorial, and for the sake of time, we used Dutch Braids here.

The twins are not going to Prom this year, since they have chosen to not date until they are 16, but they are helping several of their upper classmate girls to do their hair for the night!

To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our app, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGHBraidedHalfUp

This would also make a wonderful Festival Hairstyle, something you could wear to Coachella or a medieval or renaissance fair. It pretty much looks great for any occasion!

Please be sure to give this video a BIG "👍" if you loved it, and leave a comment below telling us if you would like to see me post a Prom Prep & Texture tutorial!
