  7

  Roll the braid up and under, and hide the ends by tucking them away. Secure with bobby pins.

• 

  
  8

  Gently pull at sections of the braid for a messy effect. Add more spray wax if more texture if desired.

• 

  
  9

  Create a standard, three-strand braid on the first side section.

• 

  
  10

  Wrap the braid low and tight around the back of the head, and secure the ends with bobby pins.

  Repeat on the opposite side, joining the ends of the braids, the spray with Kenra Volume Spray 25 to lock the look in place.
