the messy braid

Started by Alexander Wang with his spring collection of 2010, the messy braid fever is still going on. its a style that makes you look effortlessly chic and can be worn with anything. plus its so easy to make. xx


How to make a messy braid:

• First, spritz on a texturizing wax or spray. For full volume, tip your head upside down and lightly blow-dry your locks while the product is still wet.
• Next, create a deep side part, and then section off the face-framing layers from the back of the hair. Braid the back section at an angle so that it sweeps from one side of the nape to the other.
• Tease or curl the front sections to create the desired effect of tousled tresses, and lightly break up the tightness of the braid by using your fingers to separate the strands. Spritz with a medium hold hairspray for further hold.
