If you’re always on the lookout for trendy new hairstyles, you’re going to love this.
Tools and materials:
- Comb
- Clip
- Hair ties
- Bobby pins
- Curler
1. Clip up bangs
First, separate out your bangs and clip them at the front of your head so they’re out of the way.
2. Tie hair into pigtails
Next, divide your hair down the middle and tie it into pigtails.
3. Braid pigtails
Braid each pigtail and tie the ends with elastic.
4. Pull out hair
Next, pull out your hair gently to make it more voluminous.
5. Loop the braids
Next, take the bottom of each braid and tuck it into the hair elastic to loop the braid.
6. Cross loops over
Next, put one loop through the other to cross them over one another.
If you’re wearing hair extensions, this step will ensure that the tracks are hidden away.
7. Add bobby pins
Now add bobby pins to pin your hair down.
8. Curl bangs
Finish up by curling your bangs.
