Get the Look: Feminine Flower Crown Braid from Naeem Khan Spring/Summer 2018
It didn’t matter whether the models had long hair or a pageboy; Gilbert proved that the flower braid crown can work on any hair length. “I add the flowers into the hair as I braid, and use the hairspray to set it as I go,” she explains. This kind of style definitely requires patience, especially if you’re after a super neat finish. STEP 1: Start by washing hair with TRESemmé Repair & Protect 7 Shampoo and Conditioner to create a damage-free foundation. Editor’s note: The TRESemmé Repair & Protect line is one of our current hair care obsessions. This line was made to visibly repair hair damage caused by styling and coloring hair. For best results, use the system starting from the shampoo to styling for best results. STEP 2: Apply TRESemmé Repair & Protect 7 Pre-Styling Spray to wet hair, then blow-dry hair straight using a hair dryer and paddle brush. This spray also works as a heat protectant while gently detangling your hair and preventing frizz. STEP 3: Apply TRESemmé Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo to the roots and work through the hair, using your fingertips. Smooth hair and create a deep side part, beginning just above the arch of the eyebrow. STEP 4: Place the beginning of the flower crown just below the part, keeping a section of hair loose. Guide the crown around the base of the head, braiding the loose sections of hair around the crown to lock it in place and secure with an elastic. “Create a piecer-looking braid by placing a bobby pin at each new section of hair, entering the fold and tucking it below the flower crown,” Odile advises. STEP 5: Braid the end of the loose strands and tuck the ends into the end of the crown. Finish with TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hair Spray to lock the look in place.
