Get The Braid How-To Steps
- Apply a palm-sized amount of amika Plus Size Perfect Body Mousse into your hand, then work from roots to ends. Blow-dry using the amika Immortal Power-Life Dryer and a round brush.
- Take a large horizontal section from ear to ear. Before applying clip-in extensions, prep the hair by backcombing and applying amika Vandal Volume Powder Spray. This will provide fullness and grit necessary to securing and blending the extensions.
- Create a large fishtail braid starting at the occipital and working down toward the nape, then moving toward one side of the head so its visible from the front.
- Apply Vandal Volume Powder Spray to the braid and pancake.
- Wave the face-framing pieces of hair using the amika Le Marcel Professional 2-in-1 Swivel Curler.
