"Our lovely West Coast editor Jen Weinberg stopped in to the the Braid Bar at Salon Nine Zero One in L.A. to try out a braid hairstyle called the Venice Hippie. And Jen was nice enough to document the process and even take pictures of the steps! And before you say it, yes, I know this could totally be my head, but it&amp;#x27;s Jen&amp;#x27;s, I swear. Take it away, Jen! &amp;quot;When Nine Zero One Salon invited us to try out their Braid Bar in LA, I first thought: Genius! And then: Yes, please! I&amp;amp;#8217;ve recently developed a total hair crush on all styles of bohemian glam braids, and their menu was a far cry from the French braids I knew too well in my not-so-hip junior high years. So, I headed on over to the Braid Bar, whose regular clients include Rumor Willis, Molly Sims, and Nina Dobrev, and met Shaylee Blatz, who gave me my very own braid tutorial to share with you! Here&amp;amp;#8217;s a play-by-play: Step 1: Part your hair on the side that is most natural for you. Step 2: On the smaller side of the part, separate your hair into three sections and start a loose French braid behind your ear. Step 3: Follow the French braid around your head above the nape of your neck, until you get it right below the opposite ear. As you get towards the front by your face, you can grab a thick section of any layers that fell out and sweep them into the braid. Step 4: Once all the hair is in, and the braid is right below your earlobe, take the 3 sections from the braid and divide them into 2 sections. Step 5: Start a fishtail braid with the remainder of the hair. For those of you fishtail novices, pull a small piece from the outside of one section and cross it over into the opposite section. (Note from Beth: Or check out my how-to here!) Repeat all the way down to the end, and finish it off with a hair tie. Step 6: Spread apart the braid with your hands to give it a messy, beachy look not-too-perfect look. They call this braid the Venice Hippie, and like a true Venice Beach hippie, I slept on it, put a couple pins in, and it was good to go on Day 2!&amp;quot; Thanks, Jen! What do you think, guys?
