For those of us who haven't mastered the most intricate braiding styles, there are a handful of techniques that deliver equally cool results. In today's how-to video, Sam Villa, Redken global artistic ambassador, breaks down a simple style that's full of texture and gives your client the unique braid they desire.
Step-by-Step:
- Prep the hair with Sam Villa Professional Texturizing Iron to enhance volume.
- Use Redken Iron Shape 11 when working with the texture iron, and Braid Aid 03 to add the right amount of slip for braiding.
- Create a pony tail at the back of the head and slice it into two sections.
- Slice the right section and create an opening to pull the left section through.
- The braid will create the illusion of a fishtail braid without having to fishtail.
- Finish off the style with a clear elastic and cover it up.
