Spring/Summer trend 3: Combinations of Texture and Mixed Braids

Examples: waves and braids, fishtail and three-strand braids, Dutch and pull-through braids, twists, texture in the crown and sleek at the ends, different size braids to add variety, etc.

Steps to accomplish the style pictured:
Step 1: Curl all the hair using the Beachwaver S1.25. Spray generously with texture spray. 
Step 2: Section out a few face-framing pieces in the front, then section the hair into two down the middle, and clip one side away. 
Step 3: On the other side, create a Dutch braid (like a French braid but cross hair under instead of over) that extends a couple inches past the ear. Pancake the braid (gently pinch and pull strands to loosen and add volume), and secure with a clear elastic. 
Step 4: Split this pigtail into two sections. Take a small piece of hair from the right section, wrap it over the right section and under the left section, then back over the left section and under the right section, ending back where you started (this is called an Infinity braid). Step 5: Repeat this process, tightly wrapping and weaving, for about an inch. Secure with an elastic, then wrap a strand of hair around the elastic to conceal. 
Step 6: Repeat steps 3 through 5 on the other side. 
Step 7: Tease and fluff each pigtail with a comb. Finish by “piercing” braids with hair rings and adding gold glitter.
