Tutorial: Creating Braids with Ribbon
Prep your hair.
Start off by washing hair with a shampoo and a conditioner (we love how Love Beauty and Planet Indian Lilac and Clove Shampoo and Indian Lilac and Clove Conditioner revive dull hair and give it a glossy shine.) Next, prep your hair with Bed Head by TIGI Superstar Queen for a Day Thickening Spray to add volume and thickness to your style.
Tie the ribbon around the base.
To start your braids with ribbon, secure the ribbon around the base of the ponytail by looping it in a small knot around the hair tie.
Begin braiding.
Begin your three-strand braid and include the ribbon in one of the three strands. Be sure to keep the ribbon at the front of the style to ensure it remains visible.
Secure the end.
Grab a clear hair tie and secure the end of the braid by wrapping the hair tie around the tail a few times.
Knot the ribbon.
Knot the ribbon around the clear elastic to create smooth finish to the style. Your braids with ribbon is almost complete!
Secure the style.
Finish this look off with a mist of Suave Professionals Natural Smooth Micro Mist Hairspray to secure the style.
Done!
That’s it! You can use your fingers to spread the braids with ribbon apart and create a pancake effect for strands that appear thicker than they are.
