Tousled, free flowing, informal, unconventional and maybe even a little bit messy, Boho Braids are all the rage right now. Tap into that retro, free-spirited look you’ve always wanted to try with some help from the Conair® Double Ceramic line of styling tools. Conair partnered with the ladies from Upstyle to showcase how to create one type of Boho Braid.
Start with clean, washed hair, then blow dry with an ionic hairdryer, such as the Conair 1875 Watt Double Ceramic Dryer. Use your fingers to enhance your natural texture. Be careful not to over dry!
Pro Tip: Pre-style your hair before drying to increase the hold and extend the life of your style. Apply some mouse to wet your hair before blow drying, or use one of your favorite liquid stylers that offers a light hold... nothing too strong!
When it comes to creating Boho Braids, there are dozens of variations to try. You can get a little swankier by sectioning off two hair portions, one from each side a few inches above the temples, and braid them together. (as shown in the photo above) You can create one, two, or three braids, wrap them and pin them in many different styles. You can incorporate colored string, ribbon or jewelry into the braiding patterns. You can also dye sections of your hair in different shades and colors, creating interesting contrasts into your braiding pattern.
