The Wrap Around Side Braid

Image
The Wrap Around Side Braid Steps :  1) Start with a dramatic side part.  2) Take a collection of hair from where your part starts and begin the braid only adding in hair from the front side or the side of the braid closest to your face or neck. This makes it an open, or one-sided french braid.  3) Keep braiding from underneath the braid, only taking hair from the front side of the braid. ~Always keep the braid on top of the loose hair you are braiding in.  ~If you mess up, it's OK. Unbraid the hair until you can find the 3 strands again. Stay calm and keep going. If it's not perfect it is ok. Sometimes the flaws in a braid make it better.  4) Once all the hair is braided in, continue with a standard braid the rest of the way down, or put it in a messy bun, or keep a smaller braid going with part of the hair left out and do a messy bun with a braid in it. There are so many options! CLICK TO READ MORE .

It creates the illusion of a stronger jawline, more chiseled cheeks and a slimmer face.
