Braided Low Bun
We love a pretty updo, especially when braids are involved. Add texture to your hair with a 1-inch barrel, and then wrap hair into a low bun, leaving out two sections (from behind your ears forward). Braid the two front sections, and pin into a bun.

Half-Up Braids
This braided look is sure to put a spring in your step. Curl your hair with a ¾-inch barrel for an allover beachy wave. Next, braid two sections from the front, pull both back, and pin. Hint: Apply pomade to the ends of your curls by separating and gently tugging down for a piece-y, mussed-up texture.
