How to Braid Hair into A Heart Shape
There are actually so many variations of heart braids, but this is the basic way to do it. Start with damp hair, so that you’ll have more control. Use the middle part, and the first step is to get a small strand from the one side. It should be around 1.5 to 2 inches from the start of the hairline moving down the middle part.
This is the moment when you start with a French braid on one side and move towards the ear, shaping one half of the heart. Continue moving towards the back until you get to the middle. Then, you do the same thing to the opposite half. This is how you achieve the famous heart braids in only minutes. Tie the leftovers of the hair in a fun tie.
