M-4 before wearing a bikini... Like every year, mid-March isn't just the start of spring, it's also the start of diets! Who says diet, says sport and who says sport says jogging and look of... There you have understood me! In general, our look is far from being at the top! However, there is a hairstyle that we see worn by all fashionistas and which comes to us from sports:Boxers Braids ("les braids des boxeuses "). You've probably seen them everywhere on
Instagram and in fashion magazines:they are braids glued to each side of the skull that reveal pretty faces.
This is THE hairstyle of the moment and we understand why:it's simple, practical and feminine! Enough to knock out fashion in no time. It's perfect for going to the gym or doing your yoga and going for a drink right after.
You should know that these braids cornrow of African origin are not for everyone:you need long to mid-length hair (or ladies, clip in extensions!). Seemingly complex, they are actually quite easy to achieve. It just takes practice! For the first times, count anyway a good hour or exploit your girlfriends … They are there for that!
To make Boxer Braids, you will need:
– A comb or nimble fingers
– A small mirror to check that everything is going well behind (mirror mirror technique)
– Two rubber bands to choose from depending on your hair color
… And a good jar of dexterity with possibly a little detangler (so as not to ruin your makeup every time it pulls!)
So let's take a deep breath and let's get started.
Detangle your hair well, make a parting in the middle (or improvise… it can be great too!) and divide it neatly into two nice equal pigtails.
If it's not perfect it's not a drama, if you're a perfectionist you'll spend hours on it... Anyway the end result will be beautiful!
Then, detach the side you want to start with and the braiding begins... It's the most complicated part, it's a small step to take and then it rolls on its own! I promise!
Select the section closest to the forehead, without including all the hair, then divide it into three equal parts. Braid tightly close to the root. It is necessary to make outer braids so upside down (or from below) to obtain relief. After two or three crossings, you can then add the remaining locks as you go...Continue to the ends and tie.
Well, we still let you discover tutorials on the internet to do it because on paper it seems super complicated, but it's really a great hairstyle idea that can be worn for all occasions.
In addition, when you remove them you have superb waves... So why deprive yourself?
