Incorporate a length of colorful cord to upgrade your braids. Leave one side loose to show off your curls.
Steps
Step 1
Begin with damp hair (prep with Advanced Climate Control® Defrizzing Shampoo and Conditioner and Detangling Heat Spray for frizz-free results).
Step 2
Apply Advanced Climate Control® Featherlight Styling Cream using the Rake and Shake technique: Rake a nickel-size amount of cream through each section of hair. Hold the ends of the section and shake curls into place.
Step 3
Use a towel to scrunch curls—this removes excess water and helps curls look more defined.
Step 4
Blow dry with a diffuser.
Step 5
Once hair has dried, create two sections for braids. Tie a length of cord or ribbon around one of the sections.
Step 6
Braid each section, weaving in the cord.
Step 7
Pin the braids at the nape of your neck to create a side-swept style.
