1. On the heavy side of your part, grab a 3-inch bit of hair and divide it into three small and equal sections.
-
2. Alternate pulling each outer section under and toward the middle: Weave section 1 under 2, 3 under 1, 2 under 3.
-
3. Repeat step 2, feeding in more hair from each outer side as you move along the hairline, pulling tight.
-
4. At mid-ear level, pull locks up to the back of your head. Braid normally (as in, don’t add hair!). Secure end with tie.
-
5. Repeat steps 1-4 on opposite side, creating a mirrored braid. Loosen both braids for a little bit of messy texture
-
6. Twist both braids together to form a bun at the back of your head. Secure with pins, then mist all over with hairspray.
