Carolyn Braden: NKOTB Concert Hair

Here is my concert hair. I was prepping to go to the "Package Tour" concert with NKOTB, 98 Degrees, and Boyz II Men. I loved NKOTB as a kid and they delivered an excellent show last night. Of course Donnie ripping off his sweaty shirt and throwing it to women in the crowd was a little over the top for the older "boy band", but all in all, a good show. I wanted to dress a little 80's but age appropriate. I found the asymmetrical mesh adorned top and Sam Edelman boots at T.J. Maxx. I wore my old school NKOTB watch with a Tarina Tarantino necklace around my wrist. I like the modern hair cut of shaving one side and leaving the other long, but when thinking about the growing out process for that cut.....  no way. I improvised with a french braid. I started with second day hair. I sprayed some dry shampoo on my hair so I could get a good tight braid. I started the braid on the left side and continued until I almost reached my right ear. I put a small plastic hair tie on the end. I teased the other side of my hair and sprayed more dry shampoo in it and the style was done. 

Carolyn Braden's Creative #hair #fishbone #style

Here is a creative fishbone hairstyle I created for a night at the ballet. I wanted a little height so I teased the front and pinned it back before creating the fishbone braid.

Easy Summer Braid Style

I did a side braid that wrapped around my head. I pulled the other side back and twisted it all together in a small bun. I'm experimenting with styles that will prevent me from getting sick of long hair and chop it off. Braiding keeps it off my neck and keeps me cool in this hot summer-like heat.
