Braids were brought back a few seasons ago and have transformed themselves since then. Reading through all the fashion magazines I noticed that a lot of the models are wearing some kind of braid in their hair. With fashion week coming up in a few weeks here I'm sure you'll be seeing a ton more! Regular braids, fishtail ,french, halo braids, honestly you can pretty much do whatever you want with them and your safe! You can keep your braid(s) tight with more of a slicked back feel or keep them messy and loose and let them lay low on your shoulders. Braids are really an easy way to do your hair when your wanting something low maintenance yet stylish for the day! For those of us with a lot of layers or bangs it may take a few minutes longer but still manageable with a few bobby pins and hair spay. So as I always say give it a try play around with your hair find YOUR braid!
Halo Braid Instructions:
- Spray a volumizer or dry shampoo all over to give hair some volume.
- Start with a classic french plait from the nape of the neck just above the left ear and then work your way around the hairline from left to right (you are braiding from ear to ear) ensure that you bring the hair up to the front of the head as you braid.
- Continue to braid around the head in a circular motion clockwise. When you reach the opposite point, start to pull in the isolated section of hair to continue where you started. Once you get to the end, finish the lengths and ends with a normal plait and secure with a clear hair band.
- If you have any excess hair, fold this back on itself and tuck under the original plait to disguise where the plait starts and ends. Then hold in place with a couple of grips to secure the style.
- USE LOTS OF HAIR SPRAY TO KEEP THIS LOOK FOR ALL DAY!
