Half up Half Down Flower Braid

To achieve this super pretty look, simply:

1. 1. Start by spritzing your locks with heat protectant spray and curling your hair to taste!

1. 1. Take a section where you want the super cute rosette braid to be. We love this look as it can be worn at either the side or back of your hair.

1. 1. Split the section into three and create a regular 3 strand plait, starting a third of the way down your hair and  finishing a third of the way from the tips of your hair. Secure with a clear hair elastic/tie.

1. 1. Once you've got your super pretty braid, start loosening one side of the braid by pulling sections, working your way down. Don't worry if it starts to 'arc' a little! This will aid the final step in creating your flower braid.

1. Now, take the end of your plat and wrap it around itself to create the flower/rosette shape! To finish, tuck the end of the braid on the underside of your flower and secure with bobby pins to make sure it's nicely disguised. And in minutes, you're done! A super easy prom hairstyle that combines the elegance of a braided updo without sacrificing your long locks.
