In this guide, we’re going to be taking you through a step-by-step process on how to achieve this hairstyle.

Prepare Your Hair

Before you begin, make sure your hair is clean and dry and if need be, you can texturize to make braiding easier.

Section Your Hair

Divide your hair into the top, middle, and lower section in order to make your braids come together perfectly at the middle.

Create the Braids

Braid the upper, middle, and lower sections to bring them together. After braiding, you need to bring the ends together to form the updo. Gently tug at the braids to create a more relaxed, vintage feel. Use hairspray to hold everything in place. If you want to enhance the look, add decorative hairpins or flowers for a touch of elegance.
