Fancy Side Braid

If you’re going to wear a side braid, go all the way, starting at the crown and ending over your shoulder. If you’re doing this style on second day hair,  try Macademia’s Flawless Cleansing Conditioner to rid your strands of the excess oils that can make hair harder to work with. $33, macademiahair.com
