As Seanhanna salons launch their
debut braid menu, we spoke to the team to find out how to create one of our favourite looks - the romantic braided updo.
Scroll down to see how the look is created, then see it brought to life in the video below!
Step 1
Prep the hair and divide into four sections. Section1 is curved like an alice band. Section 4 is also curved. Sections 2 and 3 should be divide into two equal sections.
Step 2
Start a three strand scalp braid in section 1 by pulling sections from the front. This will be the detail for the look. Make sure the sections are even.
Step 3
Slightly pinch and pull parts of the braid as it progresses to help create texture.
Step 4
Continue the braid to the end of the hair
Step 5
Backcomb the end of the braid to help secure it and create texture
Step 6
Lift the braid and check the texture at the front
Step 7
Start a three strand braid in section 2, using the same technique in section 1
