New Braiding Techniques: The Braided Beret Tutorial

The Steps

Step 1: Apply mousse to your damp hair and part your hair on the right side.

Step 2: To give your hair more volume, apply a lifting product to the roots of your hair and blow dry them using your fingers.

Step 3: To make your hair softer and shinier, apply a little bit of hair balm.

Step 4: Taking a few strands of hair from where you have created the part, start braiding your hair that will go downward your face all the way to the back of your head. Secure the end with an elastic band. To add more texture to the braid, you can also use hair extensions of a little lighter shade.

Step 5: Try to give your hair a little bit of messy look by roughing it up with your fingers.

Step 6: To be sure that the hairstyle lasts during the whole day, apply a little bit of hairspray.
