Week 1 - Protective Style #1

So as many of you will already know, this is my favourite protective hairstyle and it's basically two giant french braids. There are two ways of doing this hairstyle, most people cornrow with the braid on the inside however I've never been able to do that hence my braids being on the outside. I do this hairstyle on myself, usually once a week and spray my hair with oil and tie down with a silk scarf at the end of the night. I do either a middle or side parting however I prefer side as it looks nicer to me. I simple start by braiding one side of my head as if I was doing a cornrow and plait all the way down to the end. I repeat this on the other side and either pin the ends down with bobby pins or use a hair band to tie the ends back. I recommend this hairstyle for anyone with a busy schedule and may not have time to do their hair every morning, very quick and easy and looks fab!

Just as a finishing touch I usually gel down my edges with Gorilla Snot to keep it in place. There's my first protective hairstyle for everyone, if you have any questions on how I managed to achieve this then feel free to drop me an email or leave a question on ask fm, I promise I don't bite!
