Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol

To achieve this effortless braided hairstyle, start by prepping your hair with a light-hold hairspray.

This will help you maintain the style and prevent it from falling apart.

Then, use a round brush to blow-dry your hair, focusing on creating a smooth, sleek finish.

Once you’ve achieved a smooth finish, it’s time to create the braids.

I recommend using a fishtail or Dutch braid technique to create a more relaxed, effortless look.

To secure the braids, use a few strategically placed bobby pins and finish with a light-hold hairspray.

Take a moment to review the proportions, textures, and timing notes on this page so each step adapts effortlessly to your own routine.

Preparing your core essentials and workspace before you begin ensures smooth, consistent results from start to finish.
