How To Braid Short, Wet Hair For Waves : Shoulder-Length & Short Hairstyles

Hi, I'm Michelle Simone and I'm a hair stylist. Today, I'm going to show you how to braid your hair short hair for waves. So once your hair is wet and you've towel towel dried, it you're going to take your hair into two sections and to make French braids. If your hair is longer, you can do a regular braid and that will give you larger waves in your hair, the bigger the braid. You use the bigger the wave smaller, the braid that tighter the wave for this we're going to do a French braid, because I think it's easier with short hair to get all Y of your hair into it. It also makes the most even wave all the way through your hair, so to make the French braid you're just going to start by taking the top section split it into three and braid the top section over the middle and then the right section over the middle. Take a piece from the top near your part. Add it to the left section and fold it over the middle same thing on the right grab a piece. Add it to the right section and go over the middle you're going to go all the way through your hair, this way down to the bottom. What'S nice when your hair is wet - and it's short is that more of the pieces are likely to stay in place, whereas when your hair is dry, sometimes you get the stray pieces that fall out, so you can do this hairstyle at night before you go to Bed or you can just wear it in the French braids out for the day and by the end of the day, your hair will be nice and wavy when you pull it out, once you get to the bottom, just secure it with a hair band. I like to only wrap it twice, because the looser the hairband, the less likely you are to get a kink in your hair at the bottom. But then you're going to go ahead and just do the same thing to the other side. You'Re going to take the top section, split it into three and start folding over adding a little piece at a time exact same thing on the other sign the other side, so once you've braided it all the way down, you can let your hair dry either by Sleeping on it or with a blow dryer, whichever you have enough time for and then when you take it out, it'll be a really nice, even wave all throughout your hair. So we just showed you how to braid short, wet hair for waves.
