Now that you’ve mastered the braid, let’s talk about how to style it at home.

First, start with a round brush and a heat protectant spray.

Then, use a blow dryer to smooth out your hair and add shine.

Next, take a small section of hair and wrap it around the barrel of the curling iron. Hold for 10-15 seconds before releasing.

Repeat this process for the rest of your hair, and finish with a light hold hairspray.

For an extra touch, try adding some texture to your braid with a texturizing spray.

This will help add volume and a more undone look to your style.

Simply spritz the spray onto your hair and rake it through with your fingers to distribute the product evenly.
