How-to : Textured Side Braid

Toni Ekim 18, 2022

1.
Prep hair by applying a volumising spray and then blasting with a hairdryer to create texture and volume.

2.
Sweep the hair over to one side. We’re not going for a slick part here so keep it a little messy and undefined
Pull the hair into three different sections to start the loose braid.

3.Start to braid the hair, adding sections into the braid loosely to keep a softness around the face.

4.
Continue to braid to the end of the hair, keeping width and looseness.

5.
For a nonchalantly messy look without any hair tie, wrap the hair around the bottom of the plait and spray with hairspray. Then use a straightening iron to set it in place (this gives a more lived in feel that works with the texture of the plait).
Tip: you can use your fingers to create more width and texture if desired. Spray with hairspray for extra hold.
