💬 Sienna’s What-to-Ask-Your-Stylist Script: When asking your stylist for a braid, let them know you want a 'soft, effortless look' to avoid tight, pulled-back braids. Also, ask for a 'side-swept fringe' to frame your face.

1. Why This Salon Cut & Color Formula Works

In my salon chair, I’ve seen so many clients struggle to find a hairstyle that works for their short hair.

But braids are a game-changer!

Not only are they easy to do, but they add a level of sophistication and elegance to even the most simple of hairstyles.

One of my favorite things about braids is how versatile they are.

Whether you have a heart-shaped face or a square jawline, there’s a braid style that suits you!

For example, if you have a round face, try a braid that sweeps across your cheekbone to create a longer, more angular line.
