How To Create A Side Braid In Your Fringe?

A side braid in your fringe is a unique look that can be adapted to suit you and your hairstyle.

You can create a side braid in your fringe in a few simple steps. Remember practice makes perfect.

A few things to consider before creating a side braid in your fringe:  

• It is easier to braid hair the day after it has been washed as your hair will have more natural oils and a better texture to hold the side braids in place.

• Apply moisturizer or serum to thick/curly/frizzy hair before you create the side braid as this will help to tame the hair and maintain the style for longer.

• Alternatively, if your hair is fine you may want to apply some styling products to your hair to help hold the side braid in place.

A few steps to create a side braid in your fringe:

• Section off the hair to be braided in your fringe by creating a parting. You can start the parting on your left or right hand side, whichever side you prefer.

• The size of the parting depends on how big you want the braid to be and the style you want to achieve. You can also create a middle parting for added effect.

• Once you have created a parting between the front section to be braided and the rest of your hair, check that the parting is even and brush the front section forward.

• Tie the rest of your hair into a ponytail. Once you have created the side braid you can leave your hair in a ponytail, create a funky updo or simply leave the rest of your hair down.

• Take the front section of hair and divide it into 3 separate and even strands as if you would when braiding/plaiting your hair in the back.

• Continue to braid the three strands of hair across the front section of your hair until you get to your ears. Avoid pulling the hair too tightly as this may become uncomfortable.

• Once you have created a side braid across your fringe, you can either include the braid into a simple ponytail, a styled updo or you can use a hair clip to pin the braid at the back of your ears. This all depends on the length of your hair and the hairstyle you want to go for.

That’s it you are good to go!
