Faux Hawk Braid & Wrap Ponytail with Swell Beauty, Laguna Beach

A 10-Minute Faux Hawk Braid Tutorial

I am a sucker for braid hairstyles and have posted Swell Beauty tutorials for various braids here, here, here and here. This braid hairstyle is fairly simple to execute and had an edgier look so I styled it with a 90's, punk-inspired look which I'll post soon! Here's what you need to create this hair look:

1 Rubberband (Your Haircolor)
1 Hairtie (Your Haircolor)
5 Bobby Pins
Sexy Hair Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo
TiGi TIGI S-Factor Dream Drops Shine On!
Redken wax blast 10 - high impact finishing spray wax
Tigi Bed Head Headrush
Tigi Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray
*You can substitute products with what you already have

1. Start with dry hair. Pull hair from the top and use the dry shampoo on the roots. Section the sprayed hair into three parts to braid and secure with 1 rubberband at the end of the braid.2. Grab a section of hair from the ponytail and wrap around the rubberband. Secure with bobby pins.3. Grab the rest of your hair and pull into one ponytail with the smaller ponytail and secure with the hair tie.

4.Grab a section of hair from the big ponytail and wrap around the exposed hair tie, pin into place with bobby pins. 5. Use the Redken Wax Spray to tame any flyways, the S Factor Dream Drops for the ponytail hair ends, the Headrush shine spray for overall shine, and the Hard Head hairspray all over to keep the style intact.
