Get inspired by these pictures of halo braids and learn how to create them.
1. Beginner: Half a Halo
If you’re new to the braiding scene, you’ll want to start off with something easy. Part your hair down the middle and create braids on either side of your head. This will break the halo braid hairstyle down into manageable parts. To get your braid on, create one Dutch braid at a time that starts at your part and extends down to the back of your head. Finish the style in a low tight bun for the streamlined effect of a real halo. If you need a little extra assistance in the braiding department, use TRESemmé Flawless Curls Defining Gel, to guide the strands and help them stay where you put them.
2. Mid-Level: Pancaked, Messy Halo
Halo hairstyles like these are best created on second or third-day hair. It requires a little more patience and a higher skill level. By choosing a pancaked, messier style, you’re giving yourself a little leeway with this halo braid hairstyle. Start off by refreshing your strands with a dry shampoo that will add volume. Dove Refresh + Care Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo is your best bet for hair that feels and looks clean. Next, create a part in your hair and secure all of your strands in a low ponytail at the back of your head. Make a three-strand-braid and make sure to pull each strand to create that pancaked, messy look. Once you’ve secured the bottom of the braid with a hair tie, gently pull the braid apart until you’ve got a 3D-looking braid. Wrap it around your head and secure it with bobby pins at the nape of your neck. Finish off with a quick misting of Suave Professionals Luxe Style Infusion Anti-Humidity Hairspray.
