How to Make It
Foundation Start
Make sure your braid base is clean and secure. Make sure the braids are neat and flat so the finished style lies smoothly.
The Main Section Work
Pull the curly hair through the braided base section, one section at a time, using the latch hook. Work on attaching the curls evenly and gradually build up the fullness, rather than packing too much hair into one area at once.
Resize
Keep going. Step back and check the balance of the style. Add more curls wherever you want more volume. Keep the hairline lighter for a more natural look.
Join or Shape
After the hair is in place, use a wide-tooth comb to separate and puff out the curls to shape the style. Mold the front and sides until the appearance is gentle and uniform.
Complete the Edges
Tidy the edges, smooth out any rough bits and finish off with a fluff to help the curls fall naturally.
Useful Tips
- Your braid base should be neat and firm but not too tight.
- Add hair gradually to keep the balance of the style.
- Use clips to hold sections out of the way during fitting.
- Lightly fluff the curls to prevent extra frizz.
- Check often in the front so you can see what the finished style will look like and it will look natural.
Common Errors to Avoid
- Putting too much hair on the hairline
- Too close packing of the curls
- Skip sectioning
- Tugs too strongly at the base
