How to create
a cute front braid
This half-French braid is also known as a lace braid. This hairstyle is perfect if you’re growing out your bangs or just want a pretty style that frames your face.
Get the look!
Start by making a deep side part on the right-hand side and brush your hair to remove any knots.
Take a small section at the start of the part and split it into three.
Start your braid here and cross the right section over the middle, then the left over the right.
As with a French braid, start to add in small sections of hair,
but only from the right side. Don’t add in any hair from your hairline.
Angle the braid right onto your face and in front of your hairline. You want the braid
to sit grazing along the edge of your eyebrow, coming down the left side of your face.
Keep adding in very small sections as you French braid
until you reach around your cheekbone or jaw line.
Continue braiding in a regular braid and secure the end with a small clear elastic.
This hairstyle looks great in straight or curly hair. Here I’ve curled my hair with a large curling iron
and brushed the curls out with a natural bristle brush to create these waves.
