How to Create a Boho Braid

Create a simple boho braid with little effort.

A boho braid looks very pretty and stylish. It goes great with a long, flowing dress, or even just with a tank top and shorts for summer. The look is relatively fast and easy to create. You're simply creating a braid that's slightly messy and frames your face nicely. Pull it to one side for an asymmetrical look or run it straight down your back and let the pieces frame your face at your shoulders.

Instructions

1. Wash your hair and towel it dry to remove excess moisture. The braiding process is easier if your hair is damp, not wet or fully dry.

2. Comb your hair to remove any tangles. Apply styling product to your hair to minimize frizz and help keep the braid in place. You want a messy-looking braid, but one that stays in place.

3. Separate the sections of your hair and decide where to start the braid. If you are wearing the braid to one side, pull it over your shoulder and start the braid at your collarbone. If creating a braid to pin up, start it at the nape of your neck.

4. Braid using a simple three-section method, bringing each section over the top of the next. Smooth each section as you add it to the braid. Don't braid too tightly as you want the look soft and messy.

5. Strategically loosen sections around your face to provide a frame. Leave your braid down your back or over your shoulder. Alternately, pin it up for a chic, but boho look.
