Hippie Braids

1

Section your hair.

Start off with hair that hasn’t been freshly washed! This will give your hair some grit and hold and allow your braids to stay put without too much-added effort. Section off a 2-inch piece of hair at the front of your head and use a clip to keep it out of the way
