Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol
When I’m getting ready for a night out, I love to create this braid as a quick and easy styling solution.
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.
Once I’ve created the braid, I’ll secure it with a small elastic band and finish with a light-hold hairspray.
This will keep everything in place and add a touch of shine to my locks.
