Cross Your Braids in the Front for This Headband Look

2 Materials
10 Minutes
Easy

In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to cross your braids in the front to create a natural headband look.


All you need is a comb and some hair ties. Let’s jump on in!

Tools and materials

  • Comb
  • Hair ties
Sectioning hair

1. Section off hair

First, section off the front part of your hair and then divide that section into two equal parts. Tie up the rest of your hair.

Braiding

2. Make first braid

Now take one of the front sections of hair and clip the other one up.


Braid the section, but you want to do it diagonally so that it falls down the opposite side of your face.


Then gently pull on the braid to make it more voluminous. Tie the braid with a hair tie when you reach the bottom.

3. Repeat

So the same to the other front section of hair, braiding it so that it falls down the opposite side of your face.

Tying braids behind head

4. Tie braids behind head

Bring each braid to the back of your head and tie them together.


Then let the rest of your hair down, which will conceal the ends of the braids.

Here is the finished look. The two braids crossed over one another look like a natural hairband using my own hair.


When you want to wear your hair down, this adds a really nice touch to spruce up your look.
