Are you looking for a unique style to freshen your look? A braided headband adds a fun twist to an everyday look and is surprisingly easy to pull off! We’re showing you how to get the look two ways. Follow along with Celebrity Stylist Cindy Duplantis for a six-braid coloured headband, or try a two-braid headband with Chatters Stylist Cia Hurlburt.
In order to create braids that are long enough to criss-cross over the top of your head, these braided headband tutorials work best on longer hair. If your hair is a bit too short, try extensions! Bellami Professional clip-in hair extensions can be applied at home and can add length and fullness to help your style.
To get started on creating your braided headband, the following products will help make your task a little easier.

Temporary Colour: If you’d like to add a splash of colour to your braids, try Kerachroma Coloured Dry Shampoo or KMS Style Color Sprays. KMS Style Color Sprays come in various colours, so you can really play to suit your mood! They have really great coverage, so even if your hair is darker they will still colour your hue.

First up, let’s try Cindy’s six-braid coloured headband! With the addition of temporary colour, this look would be perfect at a festival. If you’re not into colour, no worries! Simply skip the temporary colour spray and rock this style au naturel. Be sure to follow through to the end of the tutorial where Cindy takes the half-up braid and turns it into a full updo. Perfect for those sweltering hot days when you really want to get your hair up off your neck and forehead. Let’s check it out!

This style serves up major festival vibes. Since I’m writing this during the summer of 2020, (forever noted in history as the summer of the coronavirus pandemic) I can’t wait for future festivals and fairs. This will definitely be my go-to look! Until then, I’ll rock this look in my living room. |
Now let’s try the 2 braid version with Cia!

Loving these fun looks! And they're so versatile. The braided headband would look great on casual days: heading back-to-school, a shopping date with friends, or brunch, but could also be dressed up for more formal date nights and events. Or, really play it up and wear to a festival by adding colour, sparkles or embellishments. How will you wear your braided headband?
