What you need
The good news is, you probably have everything you need already:
- Hair Elastic
- Hairspray
YUP… that’s it!! We told you this one was easy!
Necessary Steps
Step 1: Start with your hair down. You can choose to do this look curly or straight.
Step 2: Section off a small portion of the hair at the top of the head & pin out of place.
Step 3: Section off 2 small portions along each side of the head, directly below your top section. Then secure with an elastic.
Step 4: Release your top section and create a basic french braid. Finish off with your favorite hair spray!
Wrapping Up
Get creative and play around with this look. This style flatters a variety of hair types and face shapes, adding instant volume and drama. You can easily switch up the feel just by changing your braid style…. Maybe a Fishtail, Dutch Braid, 5-Strand French Braid, or even a Rope Twist. Give it a try!!
Excellent job Sierra! Thank you for the great tips & for participating in today’s #LjicTuesTorial!
