"How to" do a Halo Braid

This hairstyle is simple yet effective in creating a soft look and being rather efficient to do. I originally learned how to do this from the lovely Zoella whose video can be found in the link below at the end of my post. I do believe that this particular hairstyle is more suitable for those with longer hair, but one could probably adapt it to their own length. Let me know in the comments if you like the style and if it worked for you or not. In this post I will outline the steps to creating a Halo Braid and hopefully with some extra tips from Zoella's video on hair products, you will be able achieve it (it took me a few tries to get it right).

 

Items you will need:
Hair grips/ bobby pins, two small elastics, a clip (to hold hair out of the way) and a curler is optional.

1. Separate two small sections of hair from both sides of your head (near your ears).

2. Tie the rest of your hair up into a loose ponytail or clip it out of the way until you are done. Whichever you prefer.

3. Holding one of the sectioned off parts, plait it normally and tie a thin elastic band at the end. Do the same with the other section.

4. Get your hair grips or bobby pins and take one plait over your head to the other side (the end of it should rest just above or behind your ear) and pin it in place.

5. Do the same with the other plait, making sure it overlaps the end to hide the hair grips/ bobby pins.

6. Let the rest of your hair loose and if you prefer, curl the ends to give it a nice finish.

I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if you want me to do more hairstyles. I'm thinking of eventually starting my own Youtube channel to compliment these kind of posts (along with makeup tutorials).

Much love,
