How To: Bohemian Braids

✯✯✯

Create Bohemian-style braids in minutes.

✒ On damp hair, apply a styling aid. (preference: Bumble & Bumble Texture)

✒ Air-dry or Blow-dry

✒ Braid! Create small individual braids sporadically or for a braided-headband: Part hair in three sections (2/sides – 1/back) braid each side and wrap from ear-to-ear – pin to place.

✒ Modernize this look with the following tip. Spray each fastened braid with a dry shampoo (preference: Psssssst) – hold braid at the band and then muck it up! Distort braid by pulling/stressing/tugging at the hair.

✒ Hairspray or for added body use a texturizing hairspray (preference: Oribe Texturizing Spray)
