Why this worksSpring braids are all about creating a relaxed yet stylish vibe. The key is to work with your hair's natural texture and embrace a looser, more carefree approach. This not only adds volume and movement but also makes the braids look more effortless and chic, ideal for the warmer months.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, dry hair. A light texturising spray can add grip and volume, making it easier to braid. If your hair is slippery, consider using a bit of mousse for better hold.
  2. Choose Your Braid Style Select a braid style that suits you, like a twist braid or a simple three-strand braid. For a more relaxed look, opt for larger sections of hair as you braid.
  3. Braid Loosely As you braid, keep your sections loose. This not only creates a more effortless look but also allows for fuller, softer braids. Don’t stress about perfection—embrace the messiness!
  4. Secure & Finish Once your braid is complete, secure it with a clear elastic. For added texture, gently pull at the braid to loosen it further. You can also add a light mist of hairspray to keep everything in place.

Where people go wrong

A common mistake is braiding too tightly, which can make the style look stiff and formal. Additionally, not using any product for grip can lead to slips and uneven sections. Lastly, overthinking the look can lead to unnecessary stress—embrace the casual vibe!

The pro moveTry adding small accessories like hairpins or flowers to enhance your braid and give it a springtime touch.
