Day: Braided Side part

Step 2. Create a deep side part and separate a one-inch section of hair from the part. This section of hair should be pulled from the area closest to the hairline.

Step 3. Braid the one-inch section of hair. You may choose a traditional three-strand braid or a fishtail braid.

Step 4. Once you've created the braid, secure it behind the ear using bobby pins.

Step 5. To add texture, curl face-framing layers with a one-inch curling iron. Run your fingers through the curls for an effortless vibe that's perfect for daytime. Spray a light hold hairspray to finish.
