Transcript

I just got my hair braided. I think it looks great, but I still need to make it like a little bit more me. So what we're gonna do. First, I made sure we had some edges out and used a little edge control. Now we're gonna add some layers. I'm gonna cut about this much off. Now I'm just pulling different sections of the hair and layering as I go. Don't feel like you have to rush it. Now we're gonna try something. I'm actually gonna blow dry these a little bit more straight. There we go. And now we're just gonna add a few curls. Obviously with the bundles are human hair. You can't go too hot. You see the difference? This almost kind of reminds me of a hybrid between boho and like a French curl braid. And finally, I'm just gonna take a Bobby pin and just kind of push these pieces back and bring a couple of these pieces to the front. And that is it. If you're like me, no matter how pretty it is, sometimes it just takes a minute to get used to a very new hairstyle. My braider did an amazing job, but sometimes it's still little tweaks that you do at home that are really gonna make the look feel like you.
