Why this worksSeasonal braids can add texture and interest to your hairstyle, perfect for warmer weather. Spring is all about embracing lightness and movement, and braids can achieve that effortlessly. They also help manage hair while keeping it stylish and fresh.

The ritual, step by step

Choose Your Base Style Start with clean, dry hair. You can opt for straight, wavy, or even curly hair as your base. The style you choose can affect how the braid looks, so pick what suits you best.
Section Your Hair Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 2-4, depending on the braid style you’re aiming for. Use hair ties or clips to hold sections out of the way while you work.
Start Braiding Depending on your chosen braid type (like box braids or fishtail), begin braiding from the roots. Keep the tension consistent for a neat finish, but not so tight that it’s uncomfortable.
Secure the Ends Once you reach the ends of your hair, secure the braid with a hair tie. You can also use a small amount of styling cream or gel to tame any flyaways.
Accessorise (Optional) Add hair accessories like beads or ribbons for a playful spring look. This is a great way to personalise your braids and make them pop!

Where people go wrong

One common mistake is braiding too tightly, which can cause discomfort. Another is not sectioning hair properly, leading to uneven braids. Lastly, skipping hair products can leave braids looking frizzy and messy.

The pro moveConsider using a lightweight hair oil before braiding to add shine and reduce frizz.
