Swept Away: DIY Side Swept Braid and Wave Hair

I love mixing and matching when it comes to clothing, accessories, and even home decor related design. So, why not take that approach for a new hair tutorial, right?

This side swept braid and wave is a little bit sweet mixed with a tiny bit of edge (it’s the slicked back side that does it, I think). And I’m kind of loving how they work together. What do you think?

Instructions

  1. Curl hair and prep with your favorite texturizing products. We used a texturizing powder at the roots and a texturizing spray all over the rest.
  2. With your hair parted on the side start a braid on the side with the least hair. Braid each strand under, continually adding hair to the strands as you go, creating an inverted french braid.
  3. Continue the process until you get to the base of your neck and secure with bobby-pins. After the braid is secured pull sections to give it a messy, textured look.
  4. Finish by teasing the hair left out of the braid and hairspray to keep the fullness in place.
