And here I can't even make a decent Ponytail😂🤣😂
A Hairstylist Creates Arabesque Hairstyles That Go Viral in the Blink of an Eye
A 21-year-old hairstylist Alejandro Lopez has recently made his dream come true. He learned how to make intricate hairstyles that get tons of likes and compliments once they appear on his Instagram page. Crochet braids, lemonade braids, fishtail braids. These are just a few braiding techniques that can make your imagination go beyond the ordinary ponytail.
Here at Bright Side we instantly wanted to have every hairstyle done by Alejandro, and we bet you’ll enjoy them too. In the bonus section, you’ll have a chance to take a look at how Alejandro rocks his ginger mane himself.
It all started with a simple fishtail braid and grew into a real passion.
Alejandro is a totally self-taught artist. In middle school, he started watching videos on how to do a fishtail braid. Then he got into a cosmetology school and braiding became his favorite thing to do in his downtime. For his 19th birthday, he only asked his mom to buy him a wig and that was actually the start of his more intricate work. After being at school for 10 hours he would then go home to braid on his wig.
The young stylist found the biggest inspiration in the work of recognized masters.
In his interview with Bright Side, Alejandro admitted that the hairstyling genius he’d always wanted to take after was Guy Tang, a hair superstar who documents his journey on Instagram and Youtube. Alejandro confessed that he loves the vivid colors and the braids that the stylist does, and he would watch his videos with his mouth open, wondering if he would be able to learn how to create such a sculpted beauty.
The first awards and recognition were not slow in coming.
As with any art, doing hairstyles has plenty of challenges and bottlenecks.
The biggest difficulty that Alejandro faces is making sure that his work is original and fresh. He wants to stand out from the crowd so he spends hours thinking about concept ideas using unusual materials in his braiding. Creating these looks can take him anywhere from 2 to 7 hours, and there have been many times when he has worked on something for a very long time, just to then take it all down because he ended up not liking it.
Bonus: Meet Alejandro in person, rocking his incredible ginger mane.
The young stylist never gives up and works around the clock on mastering his skills. His biggest wish is to travel around the world for brands and movie shoots or to even create runway hairstyles. He is sure that the sky is the limit and keeps his mind open for new hairstyle adventures that are waiting for him on his way.
What is the most difficult hairstyle that you’ve ever done yourself? What haircut do you have now? Do you want to change it?

This is really amazing. I kept scrolling and there was more and more wonderful hair styles. I always say when it comes to hair dressing, or cooking men can be very impactful in those areas. The skill set of this young man is incredible. You can do great & wonderful things once you practice, practice, practice. This has inspired me in my writing.
This is crazy! I have short hair and I already get annoyed by "grooming" it daily... all I do is just brush it backwards and I'm done... this is just another level
I would love to have something like this on my wedding!
Woooow 😯😯😯❤️
