Braids are an effortless protective style suitable for any special event or formal gathering, adding elegance to your look when embellished with accessories. Stephen advises washing and moisturizing your hair first to maintain healthy braids that look their best. Once this step has been accomplished, dry shampoo or texturizing spray may be applied for additional grip in braided styles.
Senegalese twists add a burst of color and are ideal for longer hair as their mixed thicknesses blend seamlessly. Start by sectioning off a small portion of your own hair into two equal parts and applying a light spray of leave-in conditioner or hair gel to detangle and moisturize them, followed by attaching thin sections of extensions and twisting them around natural strands – this technique will ensure longer-lasting braids while giving you that “wow!” factor!
Fishtail braids are an effortless way to elevate your everyday look, from formal events such as weddings to at-home updos! Their luxurious texture looks beautiful – make a statement with it today! To create a fishtail, divide your hair into two even sections as though creating pigtails, using loose clips to secure each section. Now take one thin strand from one area and cross it over into another section before tucking and incorporating it. Repeat this step until you reach the ends of your hair. Pull out some strands for volume and secure with a hair tie; finish by spraying some hairspray to ensure your look lasts all day long.
French braids are feminine locks that show off every woman’s feminine charm, making an impression statement about who she is and her lifestyle. They work well, whether worn center parting or side parting. Prepare your hair by combing and brushing to remove tangles, pulling out some front strands to thicken and widen your braid and give it an attractive floral twist. Launch with a classic three-strand braid and add pieces by crossing right and left sections over each other – like when braiding bangs – until reaching the nape of the neck. Finally, finish this style with a mist of hairspray to keep it all in place!
A sleek braid ponytail is a beautiful protective style suitable for any special event or celebration, such as proms or weddings, where looking polished and sophisticated are priorities. A key to creating this look is using a quality hair moisturizer such as Yummie’s non-sulfate lemon tea tree shampoo or Oribe’s Superfine Hairspray to keep your tresses healthy and to prevent dry, brittle ends. Before going to sleep, wear a silk scarf or satin bonnet to protect your sleek ponytail and to avoid breakage due to friction from your pillow. Doing this may also prevent conflict, causing split ends!
For those with fine, textured hair, the waterfall braid style can help them achieve an eye-catching waterfall effect. Tie several ponytails and braid through them for a fantastic braided effect! If your braider can’t manage their tension correctly, ask them to use less. Additionally, consider using a scalp-soothing spray to give your braids slip and reduce itchy scalps. Curls will add extra volume but remember to keep your braids moisturized with a deep conditioner or hair oil to avoid a scratchy or sore scalp.
Braids with bangs are an elegant and appealing way to give yourself an eye-catching appearance on special occasions such as weddings and parties while working well for medium to long hair length. This braid style is similar to the fishtail but features different lines for an original appearance. Zig-zag lines create this distinct style and offer something new for those wanting something different. This hairstyle makes a great statement! Dependent upon how well it’s maintained, this type of braid may last three weeks before needing retwisting. Blotting sheets may help it last longer. Also important is taking regular steps to let your hair breathe and prevent headaches caused by having braids on.
