The Halo Braid

1. Moisturize, seal and detangle hair. (I started on previously tension dried and bantu knotted hair.)
   Split your hair from ear to ear. Finger comb the front section forward covering your face.
2. Start your flat twist, dutch braid, or two strand twist at your ear. 
3. Braid along the perimeter of your head until you get back around to your starting point. 
4. Tuck the ends behind the original braid with a bobby pin.  

Tips & Tricks

1. Need Staying Power? Use as many pins has you have to get get the shape that you want. Just be sure to hide them well.
2. Can't braid? I did a giant flat twist instead of the double strand twist in the tutorial. It was just easier for me.
3. No shine?  Try applying an oil or butter before styling. I use my kitchenista Tangerine Vanilla Whipped Hair Butter.
4. Frizzy Edges? Pick up some gel or wax and apply a bit to slick your edges down. Then cover with a scarf for 5-10 minutes.

I love everything about this style and it's totally going into my weekly bun-less hairstyle rotation. Protective styling never looked so cute! What updo did you try this week? Link it up for us to see below!

Besitos!
