BRAIDED KNOT

For Elle’s boho braid, L’oréal Professionel Ambassador Adam Reed says, “Apply a styling cream and blow-dry the hair for a smooth prep.”

“Pull into a midheight ponytail and secure. Split the ponytail into two halves and tightly braid each one.”

“Wrap the braids around the ponytail, weaving as you go, and secure with a waved pin. Add additional pins until the braids are anchored. Finish with a lightweight hairspray.”
