Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol
To achieve this look at home, start by prepping your hair with a heat protectant spray and a leave-in conditioner.
Then, use a round brush and a blow dryer to smooth out the hair and create a sleek finish.
Next, use a curling iron to create a soft, effortless wave.
For the braid itself, use a small section of hair and start at the crown, then gently pull the strands apart to create a soft, relaxed braid pattern.
Secure with a small elastic band and finish with a spritz of hairspray.
