Braid it

Remember side ponytails? Well, those are not in. Side braids, however, are the "it" hair do right now. Seen on the streets and paraded down every runway such as Alexander Wang and Lacoste, everyone can create this look. Easy and always chic, side braids are mainstream again.The nice thing about this hairstyle is that it can be worn a little bit messy or sleek depending on the mood and occasion.

To achieve the messy look, start with dry hair and pull tiny pieces out as you go. Spray lightly with L'Oreal Paris Ellnett Satin Hairspray and go. For the sleeker look, start with damp hair and run Kerastase Nutritive Serum through before braiding.  Blax clear snag-free elastics hold the braid in place. Now it is time to go! Kerastase available at Jefrrey Lyle Salon on 135 Newbury Street, Boston, MA.
