Whether you’re an expert at creating braids or just beginning, there is a foundational starting point for each and every look. Starting off on the right foot will ensure your look stays in place and looks great! Keep reading to see some of our top tips for creating any braid.
Textr Iron
Utilizing the Signature Series Textr Iron before braiding will add volume and grit to the hair, giving your braids more depth and texture! On dry, straight hair, utilize underlying layers by taking random sections and running the Textr Iron through it and combing before braiding. Watch the video below to see how Sam Villa Professional uses this technique to prep for a beautiful pull-through braid!
Sectioning
If you look at any great braid style, you’ll note that the sectioning is on point. Taking a step back, you have to think about the geometry of a head of hair and how you can break it up in countless ways. You’ll want to come up with a game plan and use clean sections – utilizing Dry Sectioning Clips to keep things tidy.
Tail Comb
When it comes to sectioning and creating an intricate braid, a tail comb is vital. It can also work wonders to pick apart your braid to create more volume in each wrap. Try: Sam Villa Professional Signature Series Tail Comb
