DIRECTIONS:
- Start with hair that has some texture to it, like stated above, it can be a day old dirty (no more than that please), or you can spray a few of your favorite texturizing products in it for the extra body.
- Section the hair from behind one ear to the other ear and clip the hair from the back away.
- Start by grabbing a small section of hair (from behind the ear) that’s large enough to make a regular three strand braid.
- Braid the strand all the way to the ends and secure with a small elastic band. Repeat this on the other side.
- Then grab all of the hair that is remaining from the front section and start to backcomb/tease the hair for extra body.
- Lightly smooth that front section and comb the hair back. Try keeping some of the volume and don’t comb out all of the teasing.
- Then take one braid and cross it over the part and pin this section with a small bobby pin.
- Repeat with the braid from the other side.
ERICA’S PRO TIP: Once you have this in place you won’t have to do much to maintain it. If necessary you could place an extra (well hidden) bobby pin on the top to keep the braid in place. You can also put the rest of your hair in a high or low pony tail for an even cuter look!
