Pipe braids: Create a pretty ‘do with ribbon

Whatever hairstyle you’re about to create, it’s best to start with soft, smooth, and manageable hair. Get this by washing your hair with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo. It helps control frizz and makes hair easy to style. If you have salon-treated hair, this shampoo is your best bet. 

Complement your shampoo with Cream Silk Dry Rescue Daily Treatment Conditioner. This product helps revive severly damaged hair and gives you the benefits of hair spa, hot oil, and keratin treatment in one wash. 

Use a tail comb to part your hair in the middle from your hairline to your nape. Then, spritz TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray to give your hair some grip and make your braids last longer.

Clip one section of your hair afterwards so it stays in place as you work on the other one. 

Take a small section of hair near your hairline and another one below it. Then, hook the second section onto the main section by forming a loop, wrapping the second section on the first, and inserting the second section onto the loop.

After that, grab both ends and tighen to form a knot. Set aside the top tail by clipping it on the other side of your head. 

Take a new section beside the tail of the knot that has been left. Again, create a loop, wrap the knot tail around the new section, then insert the tail into the loop. Tighten the knot, switch the knot tails, and clip the top tail on the other side of your head. 

Remove the first knot tail that you clipped on the other side of your head. Put it back to the side that you are working on and create another loop-and-knot combo. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until you reach neck level.

Secure the braids with an elastic. Don’t worry if your hairstyle doesn’t look perfect. It doesn’t need to be, so just relax as you work on your hair. 

Now that you’re done with one side, it’s time to create pipe braids on the side of your hair. Again, your hairstyle doesn’t need to be perfect. 

Loop a cord or a slim ribbon into your pipe braids to make it more interesting. Work on the right side first, starting from your hairline and working your way up to the elastic. Then, cross the cord over to the left side and loop it from the bottom up to the top. Then, cut the cord or ribbon and tuck the end into your hair. 

With pipe braids, ever strand of your hair will stay in place. This hairstyle is perfect when you’re attending a party outdoors, or when you’re spending a day at the park or playground with your nieces and nephews. You can also style your hair this way when you’re going sightseeing in your city or elsewhere.
