Gather your essentials
Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary tools and products to create the perfect side braid attached to the head. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Hairbrush
- Comb
- Hair elastic
- Bobby pins
- Hairspray (optional)
Step-by-step guide
1. Prepare your hair
Start by brushing your hair to remove any tangles or knots. This will ensure a smooth and sleek braid. If your hair is prone to frizz, you may apply a small amount of anti-frizz serum or hair oil to keep it under control.
2. Decide on the side
Determine which side of your head you want the braid to be on. This is a personal preference and depends on your face shape and style. Once you’ve chosen your side, comb your hair neatly towards that direction.
3. Gather a small section
Take a small section of hair near your hairline on the chosen side, and divide it into three equal parts. These will be the strands you will use to start your braid.
4. Begin braiding
Cross the right strand over the middle one, then cross the left strand over the middle. Repeat this process, adding a small section of hair to the right strand before crossing it over the middle. Continue braiding in this manner, incorporating small sections of hair into the braid as you go.
5. Secure with an elastic
Once you have braided all the way down to the nape of your neck, secure the braid with a hair elastic. Make sure it is tight enough to keep the braid together but not too tight to cause discomfort.
6. Attach to the head
Take the end of your braid and gently bring it towards the opposite side of your head. Use bobby pins to secure the end of the braid to your head, ensuring it lays flat and is not visible from the front.
7. Finishing touches
You’re almost done! Gently tug on the sides of your braid to loosen it a bit and create a fuller, more voluminous look. If desired, you can apply a light mist of hairspray to hold the style in place.
With just a few simple steps, you can achieve a stylish side braid attached to the head. This elegant hairstyle is suitable for any occasion, from casual outings to formal events. Don’t be afraid to get creative and add your own flair to make it unique to you. Now that you know how to do it, go ahead and give it a try!
