A piecey, side-swept Dutch braid created with Hairdo’s Invisible Extension is the perfect style for any free-spirited bride who needs more volume. Here’s how @Annette_Updo_Artist created the look.   (more…)

     Begin by sectioning the hair in a circle and apply the Invisible Extension by Hairdo® to add length and volume.

    Pull the hair through the band and comb.

    Then, shifting the extension from underneath, move it to the right to start building your base for the style.

    Pull the rest of the hair back in sections, twisting to the right. Then slowly pull out the twists for a soft, whimsical look and secure with a bobby pin.

    Taking the bottom section of the hair, create a single braid and pancake it out slowly to maintain the whimsical look. Secure with a bobby pin.

    Curl any loose or left-out pieces. 

    TIP: Remember when styling Hairdo’s Invisible Extension to let it cool in your hand before releasing the curl.

    For the final step, create a Dutch braid starting in the front and on the right side of the head. (The Dutch braid technique is a reverse French or 3-strand braid.)
