Dove Hair is campaigning to remind and inspire women to love the hair they wear. Whether it be long, short, curly, straight, grey, brunette, blonde, red or any other shade on the ROYGBIV spectrum - we must celebrate all types of hair and textures... and it's a message I can certainly get on board with.

It's a sad world that we live in when young girls and women of all ages feel disappointed with their hair. We can't all have those strong, silky strands we see in the commercials. But that's ok. One of the greatest things about our world today is that we can be anyone we want to be, however we feel the most beautiful and the most like ourselves. If we want to have pink hair, we can go see our stylist. If we want short hair, we can grab the scissors. If we are dying for long hair but can't seem to grow ours past our shoulders, we can throw in some extensions. If it makes you feel beautiful and confident, then to me, that is a win! So today, I am excited to partner with Dove Hair to share why I love my hair and how I feel most beautiful.

For me, I feel most beautiful with my long blonde hair. I've had everything from brown chin-length to medium black to red highlights to long blonde hair, and I have always felt the most beautiful, the most like me, in my long blonde hair. Despite constant nagging from family members to "go back to brunette," (or from strangers online who always seem to have an opinion of how my hair should be), my smile shines a little bit brighter when I feel confident and beautiful, and that's the best version of myself I can be.

So in honor of loving my long blonde hair, today I am excited to bring you this fun and easy romantic twisted braid hair tutorial. It looks lovely on long hair but it can also be gorgeous on shorter hair too. Don't be afraid to play around with your hair and make it your own.

So, let's get started.

STEP ONE:

First, secure a section on the back of your hair with a small elastic. Next, pull the hair out a bit from the elastic to give it a little messy volume. This will help create the romantically undone look.

STEP TWO:

Next, braid the pony in a simple three-strand braid and secure the end. This will serve as the base of the look. (Note: you will want to keep the braid tight (no pulling out or "pancaking.")

STEP THREE:

Next, grab a section from the front and twist away from your face. I like to pull the twist out a bit to create more volume. Once you've twisted to the end, take it back towards your pony and wrap the tail around your elastic. Then, you can either secure with a bobby pin or simply tuck the remaining tail into a section of the braid.

STEP FOUR:

Repeat this step on the other side, wrapping the first section around the pony. Then, repeat again on the other side, but this time, simply just tuck the tail end into a section of the braid.
