If you read my earlier post on achieving the perfect side braid, you probably noticed that I highlighted all the reasons I’m in love with the look and a few of the products I use to get it. But I didn’t post the DIY side braid tutorial video on how to get the look at home, so now we can all resume normal breathing, get our hair tools ready, and be the glam side-braided Winter princesses we all rightfully deserve to be.
Dove® Celeb Stylist Mark Townsend (you know, the go-to guy for every fab A-lister, ever) whipped my plain-Jane hair into a perfect messy side braid in under a minute with Dove® Hair products. Is that magic or what?
After Mark helped me nab the nearly effortless look, he confessed that nourished hair is the base of any good, lasting style. The Dove® Nourishing Oil Care Detangler (nourishes, detangles, and adds nutrients) and the Dove® Nourishing Oil Anti-Frizz Serum (kills frizzies and fly away drama while adding a crazy amount of weightless shine) basically saved my tender hair cuticles. I know it sounds dramatic, but when you blow dry and style as often as I do, you’ll take all the nutrients and shine you can get.
After completing the style, the Dove® Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray totally set the look and kept it perfectly in place till the next morning (I loved it so much I even slept on it). Since then I’ve been hooked on the Dove® Daily Moisture range of shampoos and conditioners, because extra moisture in dry, cold NYC weather is basically an added holiday blessing… #amiright?
Although this post was sponsored by Dove® and Style Coalition, I truly loved the side braid hairstyle (and still rock it at least once a week), the product line, and the fabulous opportunity to work with such an esteemed Hollywood hair legend.
