How To Style:

1. Prep clean, dry hair with a light hold working hairspray.
2. Brush hair with a paddle brush and slightly back comb the top crown area. Create a soft parting in the fringe area.
3. Beginning on the right side, gather hair in the fringe area and begin your Herribone/French braid. Pick up small sections of hair and add them to your braid as you work your way along from the side to the back. Continue braiding until you reach the end then secure with a small rubber band.
4. Still working on the right side, create your second braid just below the temple area, using the same technique noted above in step three..
5. Move over to the left side and repeat steps three and four.
6. To style, gather a braid from either side and twist and pin as desired in the center back area of the head. Repeat again for the lower set of braids and twist and pin as desired in the nape area.
7. Finish with a medium hold hairspray.
