Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol
One of my favorite at-home braiding techniques is to start with a center part and then braid the hair from the crown down to the nape of the neck.
To add some extra texture and interest, I like to use a curling iron to create loose, effortless waves.
Simply clamp the curling iron at the roots and wrap the hair around the barrel, then release to create a beautiful, bouncy curl.
For a more polished look, you can use a round brush to blow-dry the hair while it’s still damp.
This will help smooth out the cuticle and add a healthy shine to the hair.
Simply section the hair into two parts, clamp the round brush into the roots.
And blow-dry the hair while moving the brush down the length of the hair.
