Braided Darling

A luxurious braided style, perfect for an elegant evening out.

How To Style:

1. Prep clean, dry hair with a light-hold working hairspray. You will be creating seven (7) three-stand braids for this style.
2. Create a deep side part and separate hair into three sections: the right side, the top crown area and the fringe. Pin these sections away and leave remaining hair loose.
3. Take the loose hair and divide into four sections to create four different braids. Begin in the nape area, create a simple, three-strand braid. Loosely coil and secure with bobby pins. Begin your second braid on the bottom left side of the head, coil and secure the braid into place. Create your third braid just above and secure behind the ear. The fourth braid will begin just above and in front of the ear. Keep this braid soft so it sits tightly against the head and secure.
4. Next, move to the right side to create a low-slung braid and coil it up above the braid in the nape area. Move on to the top crown area, gently brush hair smooth and create another low-slung braid and pin it above the second braid created on the left side of the nape area. Now, move on to the fringe area to create the last braid. Brush hair smooth and create a soft braid along the face and secure with a bobby pin.
5. Pull out a couple of face framing strands and finish with a medium-hold hairspray.
