HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Mist dry hair with ColorProof DrySpell Color Protect Dry Shampoo to produce texture and “grip” that will prevent the braid from slipping.

• 

  
  2

  Wind random strands around a closed curling iron or curling wand for polish and control. Twist each section, wrap the twisted hair around the barrel, hold and release.

• 

  
  3

  Gently work ColorProof RuleBreaker Firm Flexible Wax through strands for definition and control.

• 

  
  4

  Create a side part. With the start point at the parting, begin a Dutch (inside out) braid, incorporating hair from the hairline and from the other side of the section.

• 

  
  5

  Continue braiding, curving the braid around the head, behind the ear.

• 

  
  6

  At the nape, begin incorporating all of the hair into the braid.

• 

  
  7

  Complete the braid, secure with elastic and wrap a small section of hair from the tail around elastic to conceal the band.

• 

  
  8

  Insert pins into the braid at intervals along the head, to secure it and prevent bulging.

• 

  
  9

  “Pancake” the braid by gently stretching the sides of each loop.

•

  Curl the ends with a curling iron and mist once more with DrySpell, followed by WickedGood Weightless Shine Spray.
