The Prep Work

 

 

To best achieve the look, wash with BLONDE.ANGEL.WASH and BLONDE.ANGEL. Then, work our any knots with UN.TANGLED and blow dry hair to add volume using ANTI.GRAVITY.SPRAY. Apply EASY.RIDER to keep any flyaways at bay while you work.

Styling: The Steps

 

 

STEP 1. Start by sectioning the hair on a side part and continue section to just on top of the ear.

STEP 3. Pull out braid only around perimeter, and continue braiding around the nape of the neck.

 

 

STEP 4. Begin to braid hair parallel to the floor and secure ends with a bobby pin.

 

 

STEP 5. Shape the loose end of braid into a round shape working from the outside in and bobby pin into place. Finish with SHIMMER.SHINE and SESSION.SPRAY.
