Day 3: side braid with curls

Disclaimer:  today I used lotsa heat, but Sunday is the one day a week I allow such a cheat :)

So today's braid is really quite simple.  I started by blow-drying my hair with a good moisturizing serum (matrix exquisite oil) and a fantastic volume mousse (Redken guts).  Then I curled all of my hair with a 1 1/2 inch barrel iron.  I always curl my hair starting at the scalp and working down the hair shaft.  Then I made a deep side part and start braiding down the side.  Once you get behind the ear and are braiding across the nape of your neck, only add to the braid from the bottom so that your hair can fall over it.  Once you get to the other ear, fasten with a clear elastic and PRESTO!  Fantastic hair!
