Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol

One of my favorite ways to style an open-ended double Dutch braid is with a 10-minute round-brush blowout.

I start by applying a heat-activated styling cream to the ends of my client’s hair, followed by a round brush and a blow dryer.

I then use a texturizing spray to add some volume and texture to the braid.

Another great way to style an open-ended double Dutch braid is with a curling iron.

I start by curling the braid with a 1-inch curling iron, followed by a light-hold hairspray to set the curls in place.

The result is a beautiful, effortless-looking curl that adds some extra glamour to the braid.

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.
