Justine Marjanâs Boho Braid Hair Tutorial
âAfter using a styling product, blow dry hair first using hot air to lock in the style then cold air to seal it,â suggests Marjan.
- Start by washing hair with shampoo and conditioner to protect hair against breakage.
- Create a center part and apply extra firm control mousse all over from root to tip, and work product throughout hair using your fingers.
- Take sections of hair into your hands and fold them up, 3Â inches at a time until it hits your scalp. Blow dry each section using hot air to lock in the style, then cold air to seal it.
- Define the textured waves by using a flatiron to create an âSâ shape with various pieces of hair throughout the head.
- Spray roots with TRESemmé Fresh Start Basic Care Dry Shampoo for a matte, lived-in finish.
- Separate the front piece of hair on each side of the part and gather the remaining section to create a loose braid leaving the front pieces out for a slept-in look. Secure the braid with bobby pins leaving out 1-3 inches at the end for effortlessness.
- Complete the look by spraying firm control hairspray all over to keep hair in place.
