how to braid

Dual Texture Braid

Curl your hair first for added texture, so the braid has more grip — you can even coat it with some hairspray. Next, create a deep part on the right (this will allow more braid to show straight on), and then pull your hair over your left shoulder. Begin creating a regular French braid, pulling pieces from your hairline each time, and braid past your ear. Clip off the braid so it doesn’t unravel. Then, from your right temple, French braid the rest of the hair, following the nape of your neck until it meets the first braid.

To finish off the look, combine the hair where the two braids meet and fishtail braid all the way to the ends.
