Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol
For a gorgeous, effortless Dutch braid, start by brushing your hair to remove any tangles or knots.
Then, divide your hair into three equal sections and begin a regular braid.

This creates a more relaxed, undone look.
To finish, secure the braid with a small elastic band and gently tug on the ends to loosen it.
