The Hunger Games: Mockinjay Part 2
French Fishtail Braid How-To from Jasmine Anna Galazka, Kérastase Artistic Director and Stylist at Warren Tricomi Plaza Salon, “when trying to achieve any braid you must have products in your hair as foundations. My favorite is Kérastase Matérialiste sprayed on wet hair and tousled blown dry, followed by Kérastase V.I.P texture spray on dry hair instead of hairspray. Both will give you the grip and hold allowing an everlasting style.”
Step by Step:
1. Create a slight off center part on top of your head and leave a few shorter natural pieces dangling around the face (you can use a 1inch iron to curl those away from your face)
2. Next section off the front sides behind the ear and style those 2 separate section by twisting them back behind the ear and bobby pinning them lower around nape area (secure the bobby pin up into the twist)
3. At this point you will swing the remainder of all the hair back and separate into 2 equal sections
4. Now is when the fishtail technique will fall into place. Shift the hair to one side over your shoulder, while holding 2 equal sections, use your index finger to grab a small section of hair on the outside of 1 of your equal section and add it to the opposite side. Switch to the other side and continue the same move, alternating always while holding the hair. Spray with a little Kérastase Laque Dentelle for hold.
