Romantic Deconstructed Side Braid
Setup Method
A deconstructed side braid organizes massive hair volume into a soft, secure structure that sits comfortably over one shoulder. Apply a dry volume powder or texturizing dust directly to the roots of dry, wavy hair, massaging gently to create lift. Sweep all hair over your preferred shoulder and divide the bundle into three equal vertical strands. Construct a loose three-strand braid, keeping the tension minimal as you cross strands over the center. Secure the end two inches from the bottom using a clear elastic band. Starting from the bottom and working upward, carefully pinch and pull the outer curves of each braid loop to expand the braid width significantly. Pull out a few short, wispy wave tendrils around the ears and temple to frame the face naturally. This simple creative project turns thick, heavy strands into an elegant, airy side-swept look.
