Scott Wasserman: Hi! My name is Scott Wasserman from Dex New York Studios with howdini.com. Today, I did a very sexy boho chick braid on Kyla’s hair that all the Hollywood starts are wearing. And I’m going to show you how to create the look. You’re going to need a tail comb, some bobby pins, some hairspray and some clips to hold the hair back.
So, my model Kyla, she has beautiful long locks. This type of braid or this type of style can go with any type of hair. It could be curly, straight, short, it doesn’t matter. What you want to generally look at though is where you’re identified part starts. If your identified part starts on the side, you could start the braid from where the part starts. If you have a natural part that’s in the middle, you’re going to want to start the braids here and work your way back.
With Kyla’s hair, because her hair is parted on the side and it looks great, all nice and curl, like this, we’re going to start from right here where her natural part starts. So, I’m going to take the section that I imagine that I want to braid. And I’m just going to take that out. Okay.
Then what you’re going to do is you’re going to start from the top. And whatever the part is, take a little piece of hair, a little piece. You’re going to break it in three. I have it in three sections right now. I’m going to do my first braid, which is going to be like this. I’ve already started it. There’s my start. I take this piece and I connect it to the underneath hair. So, now, I’m taking it. I’m bringing it over.
I’m taking this piece and I’m connecting it with the underneath hair. See how I just connected it? So, basically, what I’m doing is called the technique, it’s sort of like a French braid. But now, I’m in the front now. This hair, I’m going to connect it with this bottom piece. See? So, I drop that with the bottom piece and them I’m connecting it. Then I’m going to do the same thing on top. I’m going to take the underneath hair and I’m connecting it with that. And then I’m bringing it over.
Okay, in this piece, there’s no connection. I’m connecting it to the bottom. Any hair texture, any type of haircut, unless you have a Sinead O’Connor bald cut, it’s not going to work. But any texture will work with the braid. Alright, so, we’re almost done with the braid. I had made it a little bit of a loose braid because it’s very relaxed bohoed look. It’s okay if some of the pieces are sticking out because this hair is going to go underneath and then you’re going to trap it. You’re going take this little bit right here. And you’re just going to bring it behind the ear.
Now, when you’re securing it with a bobby pin, you want to do an X formation. The X formation is what’s going to hold the hair into place without it moving. See? Then you’re going to take the hair that you’ve separated in the beginning. You’re going to throw it over the braid. I’m going to finish it off with Pantene Ice Shine Hairspray just to hold down the baby hairs. And voila! There you have it. I just created the boho chick braid on Kyla. I’m Scott Wasserman for howdini.com.
