Hey chic-ies! It’s Tutorial Tuesday!! I wanted to share real quick how I do a SO Easy side braid when my hair is just feeling blah and the way it falls around my face needs a little extra umphh, you know what I mean? Watch the video above and check out these tips on getting the perfect braid below. . . Subscribe to my Youtube Channel if you’re feeling generous 😉
Tip 1: This hair style works best on second or third day hair, or for gals like me who go a week before a hair wash day 4 or 5 is perfect!
Tip 2: Keep the piece of hair combed and braided in the same direction you want it to lay on your head.
Tip 3: Bobby-pin back the braided piece where it lays over some hair so it’s not completely hidden and also where some hair can lay naturally on top. I like to secure the bobby-pin behind my ear. It’s just like the perfect spot, ya know? My ear keeps it in place and also helps hide the bobby-pin.
Tip 4: Pull some of the braid upwards from the bobby-pin giving some slack to loosen up all the pieces of the braid. This helps make it look fuller and thicker and also more noticeable! -We definitely want this cuteness to be noticed!-
I can’t wait to see your Side Braid creation!
