Why this worksBraiding adds texture and dimension to your hair, making it versatile and chic. Incorporating braids can also help keep your hair managed and looking put-together, especially as the weather cools down. Plus, they’re a fun way to express your personal style without too much effort.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a light styling product, like a mousse or texturising spray, to add grip and hold to your braid.
  2. Section Your Hair Divide your hair into sections based on the braid style you want. For a simple braid, split it into three equal parts. For twist braids, you’ll want two sections.
  3. Begin Braiding If you're doing a classic braid, cross the right section over the middle, then the left over the new middle. For twist braids, take one section and wrap it around the other, alternating sides until you reach the end.
  4. Secure the Braid Use a small elastic band to hold the end of your braid. If desired, gently pull on the sides to loosen the braid for a fuller, cozier look.
  5. Finish with Hairspray Lightly mist the braid with hairspray to keep it in place. This will help your cozy braid withstand November winds!

Where people go wrong

One common mistake is not adding enough grip to the hair before braiding, which can lead to slippage. Also, many people forget to secure the braid properly, resulting in it falling apart. Lastly, don’t pull too tight; a loose braid looks cozier and more relaxed.

The pro moveTry adding some decorative hairpins or ribbons for an extra touch of style.
