Blake Lively's braid, rather simple to achieve, does not require extraordinary dexterity. You just need to have a nice length of hair (for others, patience!). As far as equipment is concerned, just plan a few basic accessories:a brush, a fine comb, rubber bands, a pin and a hairspray fixing spray.
To start this hairstyle, brush and straighten your hair well to tie it into a high ponytail. Take out a small strand, wrap it around the elastic and secure it with a pin to hide it. Next, divide the ponytail into three strands and plait them to the tip, without over-tightening. Secure at the end with a small rubber band, then pull both sides of the braid as if you want to undo it, to make it more fuzzy and loose. Then backcomb it to the tip to accentuate the wild side of the hairstyle. You're done:all you have to do is fix the braid with hairspray, without excess, so that it lasts all night.
Blake Lively also sports a beautiful cornrow braid, worn low and to the side – a hairstyle that ensures an elegant bohemian look. Even easier to reproduce than the chic braid, it nevertheless requires a certain dexterity. To redo it, first make a very loose low tail, on the side. Separate it into two large strands (instead of three). Take a small strand on the right and fold it to the left, then take a small strand on the left that you bring back to the right, and so on. It is each time a new small wick that will cross the two large sections of the braid. Continue like this to the ends, tie with an elastic band, and you're done! And next time, why not go for a fishtail braid?
