Aveda How-To | Curls And Accent Braid Short Hair Tutorial With Chloe Brown

Hi guys., My name is Chloe Brown. And welcome back to Aveda's YouTube channel., I'm going to show you guys the super sassy voluminous hairstyle today with a cute accent. Braid.. This style is perfect to wear to any wedding or any concert or any formal event. You guys have coming up. In this tutorial. We are going to go over all of the styling products that I used on my hair. And before we start I'm going to show you two very important products that I used today to achieve this look.. The first one is the daily hair repair., And this is a part of the Damage Remedy. Line.. This stuff is amazing.. It is a leave in treatment., It has chemo proteins in it which help rebuild damaged hair.. It is just a great product to use, especially because I'm going to be using a little bit of higher heat today and I'm going to be curling every single piece of hair.. I wanted to make sure that I used protection on my hair.. The second product I used today was the Smooth Infusion.. This is the Style Prep Smoother., And I love this product because I know with this hairstyle my hair could get just a little bit fuzzy. If I start playing with it and really moving the hair around., So I wanted something super sleek to make sure that my hair continues to keep that shine. All right. Without further ado, let's get right into the tutorial., I'm going to be using a 3/4 inch. Curling iron today., You can also open the barrel or close it. And then make sure that your temperature is at 370 degrees., And here we are going to take small sections. Start curling away from the face. In your curls should be very curly, just like that.. For the rest of the section, I'm going to be doing the same thing, making sure that I go away from my face in the front and then alternating the direction of the curl each way until all my hair is curled., While I'm curling my hair notice, the Position of my hand, placement and the angle that the curling iron is going., I'm not just putting the curling iron up and down., I'm actually going over my head and tilting the curling iron down towards the ground. To make sure that I do not burn my head.. Also, when you wrap your hair around, you want to twist it as it's wrapping. You want it to have that twist and then making sure that your hair is altogether and not separated. The more separated it is, the looser the curl. The closer it is, the tighter The curl. Another tip about this hairstyle when you're curling do not touch your curls., Make sure that after you have curled each piece of hair, you let it sit to cool.. Now, as we finish off the top section of hair, I am making sure that the curls are so close to the roots., So that gives you so much volume and so much separation. That really helps bring dimension to the curls, especially when you shake them out.. So you want to make sure that you concentrate the main part of the curl at the root. And then the rest will kind of fall into place from there.. As you can see, I left out a piece of hair that I did not curl., And this is because we are going to braid it. A little secret that I like to do is adding hairspray at the beginning of the braid.. You can also use the volumizing tonic.. That would be amazing as well., But it just allows some grip to the hair as you're starting out the braid and really keeps it shiny as well. All right.. So what you're going to do is you're going to take a regular three strand braid. And we are going to French braid, just tiny sections of this hair of this side part., Especially since I have an undercut, we're not going to be able to do a full French braid, but we're going to make it look like it., Adding about three sections of French braided hair., Then you're, going to finish it out, like a three strand braid. A trick to braiding is wherever you want your braid to lay that's where you're going to hold Your braid. So don't hold your braid straight out or straight down.. You want it to be braided at the angle. You want your hair to go., Now you're going to hold the end of it and really pull out little tiny pieces of each side., And this is called pancaking.. This makes the braid appear larger and have more dimension. After you are done finishing the braid, secure it with an elastic. And then put two bobby pins crossed to make sure that the braid is secure.. The last and final step is adding Control Force Firm, Hold Hairspray.. If you need to go ahead and add volume to the top with a teasing, comb. And then you're going to shake out the curls, just adding some volume and separation so that these curls become really bouncy and voluminous. All right guys.. Here it is the final look..
