Do you love to experiement with different hairstyles and want to try something new to get the good attention you deserve? Well here is a hairstyle that is unique and easy and does no damage to your hair. In no time you will be the trendsetter of the town.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • small hair bands or rubber bands
  • brush
  • knowledge of braiding
  • water
  1. Step 1

    First it is best to style om damp hair so you can either start this hairstyle right after a shower or you can dampen your hair with a little water. Either way is fine as the water helps later to set the style. This style is also best done at night.

  2. Step 2

    After hair is dampened, brush out any tangles. Take 1-2 inch to 1 inch sections of hair and start braiding- (small braids make more of a crimpy style and big braid make a looser wave style). Secure each braid with a hairband or rubber band.

  3. Step 3

    Repeat this step for entire head of hair.

  4. Step 4

    Now all you have to do to set this look is sleep on it. How easy! In the morning when you take out all the braids, it is best to comb through with your finger or hair pick as to not make your hair to poofy. You can either end there or you can add a smoothing creme to hair. Voila! What a trendsetter you are.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you would rather do this stle in the day, you can dampen hair, braid, and then blow dry with a hair dryer if you prefer.
  • You may get attention as other will envy your style.
  • Be prepared for compliments
