How to bob French curl braids
Start by parting clean and stretched hair into your desired sizes using a rat tail comb.
For this look, the smaller the parts and braids, the fuller your bob will look.
Apply shine n jam to tame flyaways and to give you clean/well-defined parts.
Just like you would in the knotless braiding method, start by plaiting your natural hair and feed in small pieces of the French curl braiding hair gradually as you move along the length of the braid.
PS– i)To create the wispy look, you MUST feed in small pieces of the French curl braiding hair.
ii) Your natural hair length will determine where the braid ends and a knot is tied.
iii) The bob length you’re going for will also play a key role in where the braid ends.
iv) If you have long hair, you’ll need to either go for a medium shoulder length bob look, fold your hair in the braids or trim your hair if you dare.
Once you have your desired length braided, tie a knot using a strand of the hair three to four times at the end of the braid leaving the curly ends out. This will ensure the braids don’t unravel.
You can also apply some glue to the strand of hair you’ll use to tie the knot to make it more secure.
Make sure you braid the hair a couple more inches below where your natural hair ends before tying the knot to avoid cutting your hair when it’s time to take the braids out.
After you’re done braiding your hair, take a pair of scissors and start cutting the curly ends shaping each section as desired.
To create face framing layers, cut the front pieces at a 45 degree angle.
For the finishing touches, apply some mousse, lay your edges and you’re ready to rock your new hairstyle.
