I like starting off the week with some hairstyle inspiration for our workdays, so below is my boho chic braid, which takes about three minutes to do once you get the hang of it. It looks lovely with a piece of jewellery as well and below I am wearing it with a gold coloured brooch with faux pearls and rhinestones from the 50s.
I am wearing a 1950s brooch as a hairpiece with this super messy braid.
… and this is what it looks like from the other side. You can also continue braiding all the way with all your hair – and rolling up the end of the braid into a side bun!
Allow the braid to chase around the back of your head. I could have made mine a bit more structured by tightening up the braid, but here I chose to go for a really loose look.
1. Get some texture in your hair before you start – either by curling it quickly or by useing thickening hair spray or a bit of sea salt spray.
2. Start making a French braid on one side of your head and incorporate strands from the top and the bottom – as you can see in the second picture below.
3. When you get to the other side of your head keep the braid in your left hand and with your right hand take a good strand of hair from the other side of your face. Put these two up in a small ponytail and loop your hair back through it, as you can see in the top picture.
4. Continue braiding a simple braid with the remainder of your hair and secure it with a headband. Finally you will wrap another teased strand around the band to hide it.
This hairstyle can be varied in so many ways so have a play around with it to see what you like the most!
