1. Why This Salon Cut & Color Formula Works
One of my favorite ways to style a braid is to create a Dutch fishtail. I love how it reminds me of Rapunzel’s iconic locks!
To start, I’ll take a small section of hair from the crown and divide it into two equal parts.
Then, I’ll gently cross one strand over the other, picking up a small amount of hair as I go.
This creates a relaxed, effortless look that’s perfect for any occasion.
What I love about this braid is that it’s easy to customize to your face shape and hair texture.
For example, if you have a heart-shaped face, you can create more volume on top by gently teasing the roots.
And if you have fine hair, you can use a light-hold hairspray to keep everything in place.
