Jetting off to your next holiday party just got easier with this ultra simple, statement-making holiday hair tutorial. Perfect for the girl-on-the-go, this quick and easy tuck braid headband tutorial can get you out the door in a hurry.
Creating this tuck braid headband provides quickly groomed hair that’s away from your face and way cuter than simply tucking your hair behind your ears. (Plus, this is a great style tip for bangs or layers that are being grown out.)
Why it’s great for the holidays & more:
- It’s easy to do just about anywhere
- It’s simple and pretty—the simplest styles sometimes attract the most eyes
- It’s fantastic for any type of holiday soiree
- It’s quick
- It gets you out of a hair rut
- It turns a bad hair day into something polished and presentable
- It lasts all day
- It gets your hair out of your face
Supplies:
- Two small rubber bands
- Large hair clip
- Four hair pins
- Holding hairspray
Instructions:
Step 1: Lift up your crown and secure with a clip.
Step 2: Take a small section of hair on both sides of your head. (Usually the amount of hair that lies in front of and on top of each ear is best.)
Step 3: Start creating a french braid near the scalp, and then continue braiding until you’ve reached about halfway down the parted section.
Step 4: Secure with a rubber band or use a hair clamp to hold braid in place. (The need to use a rubber band depends on the thickness of your hair.)
Step 5: Tuck the braid underneath your hair that’s being held in the large clip. Hold your side braid in place by criss-crossing two hair pins together. The weight of your loose hair in the back will disguise the pins when you let it loose.
Step 6: Repeat on the other side.
Step 7: Spray both sides in place with firm holding hairspray.
