with a bit of practice, this can be your go-to 2 SECOND HAIRSTYLE.
tip #1 before you BRAID prep the hair with nvenn ‘fix’
i’ve let my hair air dry about 2/3rds of the way before i decide to add a bit of TEXTURE and blow-dry my hair. to do so, i work ‘fix’ flexible working hair spray throughout my hair.
to get the BEST RESULTS from blowdrying your hair, here are a few #PROTIPS that will elevate your style:
- wait until your hair is about 80% dry before using a blowdryer.
- use the RIGHT blowdryer. you can see our favourites here.
- always blowdry your hair from ROOT to END.
- use a product like ‘fix’ to ADD TEXTURE to the hair.
this is the PERFECT way to add volume to your hair.
tip #2: take 3 BIG sections
pick what side you want your braid to rest on and get ready to section.
this starts like a lot of your FRENCH BRAID HAIRSTYLES with separating the hair into three even parts.
tip #3 and #4: BRAID from the side you want the braid to rest on AND start by pulling away from the face
on the side that you want your braid to rest, grab the frontmost section and start the braid by pulling that section back.
don’t braid the hair too tight. the key to making the braid looks BEAUTIFUL is loose sections.
tip #5: LOOSEN the braid
once you have the hair tye secured, it’s time to loosen the braid.
starting at the top of the braid, you want to gently pull the braid apart and loosen it. this is the part that’s science ;) you don’t want to pull too hard and compromise the style, so take your time. if you have any strays, you can always RETIE the hair tie and secure the look.
there you have it! the PERFECT LOOSE BRAID. the secret is all in the hair prep. if you have any questions or want me to show you a different style, leave a comment @nvennhairbeauty.
