How to Braid Long Hair: Reverse Braid
Amaze people with your long hair in a reverse braid! It’s unconventional and definitely a scene-stealer.
Prep your hair
Frequent braiding can cause breakage and hair fall. For these tutorials, use a shampoo that helps reduce falling hair like Dove Hairfall Rescue Shampoo and pair it with Dove Hairfall Rescue Conditioner.
Spritz! Spritz!
Give your hair some grip by spraying TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray all over your hair. It keeps flyaways at bay and leaves your hair smooth.
Gather sections of hair
Take two small sections of hair from each side and combine them just below your chin.
Add more hair
Take another small section of hair from your right side and cross it under the middle section under your chin.
Take a section of hair from the left
Gather another small section of hair from your left side and cross it under the new middle section.
Continue the process
Repeat the braiding steps by crossing the right section again below the middle section. Do this until your braid reaches the tips of your hair.
Flip it!
This step needs the utmost care because your braids are delicate. Carefully flip your hair all the way to the back of your head.
Spray again
Spritz hairspray all over your hair again to get rid of flyaway and frizz. Insert baby’s breath on your braids to jazz it up and make it more appealing.
