Braided Partings
Say hello to another braided trend! Braided partings! Yup, this is the super cool result when braids combine with your hair part! The style is simple yet statement making. Read on to find out how to achieve braided partings.
BRAIDED PARTINGS
The braided part has been spotted on the likes of Cara Delevingne and Gigi Hadid, for good reason! The look is simple, yet intricate and eye-catching. There are also many different variations on the style! Whether you opt for a classic middle or side part, this braided look is super striking from all angles.
What we love most about the braided partings is that they are surprisingly easy to create! For those of you gals who've got the french braid down pat, you're sorted. If not, we take you through exactly how to achieve braided partings. And as always, practice makes perfect!
GET THE LOOK
- Start by choosing your parting! Use a tail comb to achieve a clean line.
- Once you've got your desired part, create two more partings either side. This will form the section of hair you'll be braiding.
- Now, it's time to create your dutch braid. If you're not familiar with the technique, it's similar to your regular braid however you take each section underneath rather than on top. To secure the braid in place, the dutch braid requires pieces from either side added into the section whilst you braid.
- Repeat this technique until you reach the back of your hair - from here you can continue the braid to the end of the section & secure with an elastic.
- Finish the look by either leaving your locks straight, adding some curls with the ZALA Cosmo Wand or tying your hair back into a sleek low pony. A braided parting paired with beachy curls is the ultimate hairstyle. Or if you prefer something more chic, have the braid peek through a low bun or ponytail.
What do you think of this new way to part your hair? We are LOVING the trend at ZALA.
