Holiday Hair Part 3

Holiday Hair of the week....

 Step-by-Step on Jessica

Step 1. Part hair to the side.

Step 2. Grab a small section of hair.

Step 3. & 4. Split into 3 parts.

Step 5. Start French braiding, making sure to braid diagonally across the head.

Step 6. Secure braid with an elastic hair tie.

Step 7. Split the end of the hair into 3 sections and braid each section (tie off each braid with an elastic)

Step 8.Combine the three braids into one braid going down the side of the hair.

Step 9. Secure into a bun next to or above ear with Bobbi pins. Pulling out pieces to make it loose as you pin.

Extra Tricks

* You should always brush your hair before braiding.  Knots and tangles make it hard for the person braiding your hair. Spritz a little hairspray when you start to make the hair more workable.

* Part on your natural side.  Adjust instructions according to your part.

* Day old hair is best!!  A little grit is good for braids as they hold-up better. Clean hair is too slippery.

*This tutorial was written for someone to braid your hair, not intended for self-braiders. If you are a super expert braider then go for it!

- Put hair into side ponytail.

-Divide your hair into two sections above the elastic band then loop the ponytail through and pull it towards your neck, as in step 2 and 3.

-Continue dividing and looping your hair all the way down the ponytail and tie off with an elastic after each section. Each section should be around 2 inches.

Enjoy these gorgeous braided hair styles done by our amazing stylists at Suggestions..

 

 

Braids are one of the hottest hair trends and seen on catwalks all over the world during fashion week. Your hair is your best accessory and should always be treated as such! 

{Here are a few things you should keep in mind when trying your own braids at home}

1. Brush your hair before you braid. Remove any knots before you start to make braiding smoother and easier.

2. If you have thick, coarse hair, use argan oil to smooth your hair to achieve neater braids.

3. If you have fine, soft hair, use products like dry shampoo or sea salt sprays to add more grip to your hair. 

4. Stretch out your braids. This is the most important step people! Pull gently at the sides of your braids to make them look wider and thicker!
