You can also make a bun with half of the braid and leave the other half hanging. This hairstyle is more exquisite and neat and it is appropriate for official events, meetings and a classy night out as a whole.

Hair band

It is truly a classical beginning when you start doing this haircut. Make a hair band around your forehead. Braid a tuft and row it around in any shape you like – this may differ with the length of your hair and your preferences. A more complicated version is if you make two or more braids with the fringe and comb them in some fun pattern across the forehead. You can make your hair more obedient with the flat iron, but be careful to put it on lower temperature.

After you have done the braid you make another one with the rest of your hair. It should be the bigger one and its end must be significantly tighter the rest. After you have finished, tuck it into the hair band and bend it in two, leaving the main braid hang. To fix all this use a fixing spray and be sure to make the braids strong, without tufts pointing anywhere.
