US Flag Hairstyle

Happy 4th of July to all you loyal blog readers! <3

In honor of Independance Day tomorrow, today I'll share a cute hairstyle that s based off of the United States flag. There are 2 ways this hairstyle can be done: a simpler, more everyday look (which is my favorite of the two), or if you want to go all out tomorrow, you can spruce it up with red and blue beaded necklaces!

For both hairstyles, you will need many bobbypins, and jeweled swirl/spin pins. If you add the beads in, you will need one red beaded necklacd, one blue beaded necklace, and more bobbypins.

To start, part your hair on one side, then section a little less than an inch down. Make the length however long your part goes back. It should be just a few inches. 

Take that piece and, starting at the hairline, twist it all the way back horizontally to the end of that section of hair. Take a bobbypin, and slide it in with one side of the pin on each side of the twist, starting at the end of the twist, and pushing it all the way in. Let the ends hang down. Then, part another section below that, and do the same thing. Continue this for as many twists as you'd like. I did four twists.

Now, add in the spin pins. This part is pretty self explanatory. All you do is place the spin pin on where you want it to be, and spin it into the hair as if you're screwing in a lightbulb. I placed mine in a square pattern, next to the twists, as if the twists were the stripes and the jeweled spin pins were the stars. 

Now, you can be done if you are satisfied with this hairstyle. I prefer it like this, but if you want to go over the top, you can add beads for some color. If you want, it would be easier to cut up the red necklace and pin it with each twist, but if you want to save your necklace, just fold it in half, and bobbypin it around the twist going in an S shape to get to all the twists.

To add the blue beads, I just pinned it in a square around the twists and let the rest of the beads hang down, while I pushed some hair over to cover it.

It sort of looks like it reads OS, so that'd be a cool thing to do, make it look like it says US! 

This is a fun hairstyle, but even if you don't use it for the national holidays, the twists would be cute for an everyday look as well.
