Here in NYC, it went straight from winter to summer overnight. This cute side braid is my saving grace during the summer months because I sweat so much when it’s hot out. Having this go-to hairstyle that’s stylish but also keeps my hair from getting really frizzy while I sweat. The best part is that this side braid is incredibly easy to do. So easy that I created this quick tutorial so you can rock the side braid too and channel your inner Elsa.
Step 1: Brush Out Your Hair To Prep For Side Braid
I start out by brushing out my hair with a paddle brush. Working my way up from the ends to the root. This helps to release any tangles and prevent shedding. Gotta protect those bundles!
Step 2: Begin Braiding
Grab three strands of hair and start a braid like normal. Keep your hands relaxed and as you work your way down the braid grab another chunk of hair to incorporate into the braid. One you reach the bottom of the hair, take an elastic hair tie and put it on the end to secure the braid.
Step 3: Loosen It Up
I don’t like my braid to be to tight. So After I’m done, I go through and pull parts of the braid to make it looser and give off that effortless vibe.
All Done!
Boom, you just made a side braid. If you go and sing “Let It Go” from Frozen alone in your room, I totally won’t judge. I did the same thing! Seriously though, I hope this tutorial was helpful. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it quite right the first time. Practice makes perfect!
