The importance of keeping locks hydrated during the summer

1: Apply a smoothing product to damp hair and blow-dry it out straight using a big, round brush

2: Work an antifrizz cream into dry strands; begin to braid the desired area

3: When the braid is complete, pull gently on each side, starting at the bottom, to make it look messier and less structured. Pin any out-of-place strands under the hairline with like-colored bobby pins

4: If your braid acts as a crown head-band, you'll want to make sure the look is neater. Work a pea size amount of pomade over the braid to tame flyaways.

5: Finish with a strong hold spray all over to keep the braid in place
