Look of the Week – Boho Braids

Boho braids are right up there among my favourite hairstyles! This week I wanted to try out a version of boho braids, but a little neater and tighter, so that the style would hold all day.

Since I had the whole boho thing going on with the hair, I wanted to wear a girly, lacy dress that would compliment this look. My cream, Bershka dress was perfect!

To keep the look current without making it look too “bridesmaidy”, I wore a chunky neckpiece with pearl accents, and although I didn’t shoot any pics of my shoes, I wore nude, leather sandals.

The hair style

My hair doesn’t usually hold braids too well (as it is superfine), but since discovering  TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturizing spray, my braids stay put all day!

After I washed my hair, I sectioned it in two layers – top and bottom. On the top layer I sprayed a little Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturing Spray, and avoided spraying it on the bottom layer (tell you why just now). Then, I just rough dried my hair, combed it through and my lovely sister in law, helped me create this neat and tidy braid.

On the bottom layer, we just ran a straightening iron through hair and done! The reason I tried to avoid spraying the texturizer on the bottom layer, was because I wanted to straighten that hair, and leave it sleek without too much texture.

Here’s a closer look at the hair deets…
