Editor’s tip: Before creating your loose braid wash your hair with the TRESemmé Collagen+ Fullness Shampoo and Conditioner. Then apply the TRESemmé Collagen+ Fullness Thickening Balm through your hair before blowdry. This range will give your hair lift, adding body, and make your braid look lovely and full.
