Crafted by Herbal Essences’ celebrity stylist Charles Baker Strahan, this is a fun party look that is styled without being overdone. It’s also perfect for all the ladies with curly or wavy hair!  Here’s how to get the look:

• After washing, build body by flipping hair upside down, using either the Tousle Me Softly Spray Gel for fine hair or Tousle Me Softly Mousse for thick hair, scrunching product throughout the hair. Use a diffuser to dry hair, creating texture.
• Once dry, leave the front strands loose, especially face framing layers/bangs.
• Either pull hair straight back or create a side part. Gather hair to one side of the head and begin a loose, low French braid.
• Allow the braid to remain loose, embracing any pieces that fall out, giving the hair more texture.
• Leaving the last few inches of hair unbraided, secure the braid with a hair elastic and pin the hair under at the nape of the neck, hiding the end of the braid under your hair.
• Backcomb the loose, face framing pieces, and loosely pin them back into the hair, creating more volume and texture.

For a more polished twist (maybe for a wedding), wrap the braid into a chignon, rather than tucking the ends in, embracing the loose texture for a perfectly imperfect, ethereal style. Feel free to accessorize!
