The braided trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. From the tight, refined
braids to the loose side braids, you have quite a few options! Blake Lively is
one of the trendiest girls on planet earth and she has been seen rocking a side
braid at many a social event. The side braid can be worn a number of different
ways – it is all in the presentation!
How To Style:
Apply a generous amount of gel or mousse to hair and comb through gently with a
detangling comb.
Blow dry hair with fingers until about 80% dry, then use a paddle brush to
smooth.
Gently back comb the crown and smooth.
With your paddle brush, pull all the hair into a low ponytail to just under the
ear and secure with an elastic band.
Spray your tail with desired hair spray.
Tightly braid in your preferred style (ie. fishtail, 3-strand, 4-strand, etc).
Secure with an elastic.
Cut the band under the ear.
Loosen the braid to desired look.
Use a finishing spray to protect the style.
Best Face Shape And Hair Type:
Again, this really looks great on everyone. It a trend every face shape can
enjoy! Just know that the thicker the hair, the bigger the braid.
Extra Tip:
Spray with a shine spray after you’re finished styling to really make it
shine!
