Whether doing a regular braid, French braid, Dutch braid, fishtail braid or any type of braid, here is my secret tip for making your braid look more impressive.
Stretch it out
Gently pull at the sides of your braid to stretch out your braid.
This technique of stretching out your hair softens the look, makes your hair look thicker and emphasises the shape of the braid.
Here’s the full tutorial for this braided hairstyle.

Hi there .. love your blog and I have it streaming into my RSS feed 😀
Can you advise what products to use to help braid hair without it snarling into knots or unbraiding itself due to serums. I’m still struggling to get smooth braids without it looking like I’ve wrestled with it to make it!! Especially for french braids :S
Thanks

Thanks Cathie! Will do! Serums can be part of the problem, they are too soft. A dry shampoo would offer a little more grip to help keep your braids in place. Also, brushing your hair with a bristle brush before you begin really smooths your hair so you start with a good base.
