Braided Backward

This is a great look for day old hair, where a little frizz and texture go a long way. Celebrity hairstylist Andi Scarbrough of Byu-Ti Salon tells us how to get the look:

1. To avoid flatness at your crown, take a fine tooth comb and tease the roots, only of the top/back area.



2. Create a side part and French braid your hair on each side, starting at your temple and working your way back.



3. Once the two braids meet, stop adding new hair and braid the two braids together until you reach the ends. Temporarily secure your ends with an elastic.



4. Take all your hair and secure it into a medium-high pony at the back of your head, make sure to include the braid in it.
