How to make bohemian side braid: Easy 10-step guide for beginners
Here’s how you can make the perfect bohemian side braid for elegant Christmas look
Christmas is finally here, bringing an opportunity for all girls out there to slay not only a chic and stylish fit but also a perfect and easy hairstyle.
If you are looking for some quick and stylish hairdos, perfect for the occasion and go with literally all kinds of dress ups, then bohemian side braid is the one for you.
Before actually learning the steps to tie a fine braid, you need to have a few important things, including a hair-tie, a hairspray, some dry shampoo and a teasing comb.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make a bohemian side braid:
Leave out the dry shampoo if your hair already has structure; if not, spray on a small amount for added hold.
Use a teasing comb before you begin if you want to tease your crown a little for volume. If your hair is silky or fine, hairspray will help the style stay in place for longer.
- Begin by choosing a deep side part and sweeping the hair around the back of your crown so the part doesn’t continue down the back of your head.
- Separate a triangle at the top of your part, divide it into three sections, and
- Begin a French braid by alternating each of the side sections over the middle section and under the one on the opposite side.
- When pulling from the back of your hair just keep taking hair from above your ear and back a bit, not from the very back of your head.
- Continue your French braid down as you remember to add in a little more hair from each side before you send that section over and under.
- Twist the hair above your opposite ear upwards and back, tugging a bit of hair out at your temple to keep it loose and flowy-looking.
- Swoop it around the back to join it in your braid. Now that you have all of your hair in one hand, proceed to turn your French braid into a fishtail by splitting it all roughly in half and grabbing a small chunk of the hair from the back of your right section.
- Bring it around and over the right section, combine it with the left section, and now repeat that with the left side, back and forth alternating till your fishtail braid.
- Finish it all off by tying up the braid with a hair-tie, and by tugging your hair out here and there to loosen everything up.
- Spray a bit with some hairspray if you want and you’re all good to go!
