Braids are one of our favorite styles, especially in the summer. Easy looks to from day to night and all weekend long. Braids never go out of style and there are so many options available. Keep an eye out for our next class, “Babes and Braids” the date is coming soon!
Dutch Braids into Pigtails by Faith
Step 1: part your hair down the middle into 2 sections.
Step 2: pull one side into a small bun or brain to get out of the way
Step 3: start at the top, pull hair into three strands and begin the braid and add hair into each outside section, trading places with the middle strand each time. Tie off into a small pony tail before you get all the way to the bottom.
Step 4: take down the other side of your hair and follow step 3 for that side too.
Step 5: to finish off this look, I like to take a strand of hair from each pony tail and wrap it around the hair tie to hide it.
Love this look on a hot summer day, when I want a style in my hair but it’s too hot to wear it down.
Half-Up-Half-Down Dutch Braids by Riley
Step 1: Start by parting your hair down the middle
Step 2: Make your next part on the left and right side, from your temple to the crown
Step 3: Start your Dutch braid at your hair line and braid to your crown
Step 4: Once you reach your crown wrap an elastic around the braid at the root and flush the remaining hair.
I love to use Dry Lift for this braid to give it added texture.
Crown Dutch Braid by Jenna
Step 1: Spray Tousled Texture in your hair to add texture to your braid.
Step 2: Lean head forward to hair falls where it will live as you braid.
Step 3: Take a zig-zag parting behind your ear.
Step 4: Begin with traditional tree-strand braid. I like to work strands under, instead of over, for more of a 3D affect.
Step 5: Continue braid around the head, working towards your face first.
Step 6: Once you have all of your hair in the braid, start at the end of the braid and gently tug and expand your braid. Work you way from where you ended to where you began.
Step 7: Roll the end of your braid to the length you need to connect the tail of the braid to the beginning of the braid.
Step 8: Pin and adjust hair as needed to get your desired final look.
I love this braid because it is so fun to wear, practice it a couple of times and it will become one of your go-to looks.
June is jam packed, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. Save the date for the pop-up shop, make sure you enter our giveaway and we hope you enjoy these braiding tutorials.
