Bridal Braid Hairstyle

Instructions

Step 1: Start by separating small face-framing pieces from the bulk of your hair. Section out pieces from either side of your middle part and in front of your ears.

Step 2: Separate the framing pieces from the rest of your hair using the Reign of Romance White Pearl Beaded Headband with the framing pieces pulled to the front.

Step 3: Pull the rest of your hair to one side and create a basic three-strand braid. Stop braiding about 3-4 inches from the bottom of your hair.

Step 4: To secure the end of the braid, split one of the three sections into two, then wrap them around the two remaining sections of the braid. Secure the wrap with a clear elastic or one that matches your hair color.

Step 5: Gently pull on the braid to create fullness and loosen it.

Step 6: Use clear eyelash glue to secure half pearls to the front of your braid. Have fun with placement, and don’t be afraid to experiment!
