Katie Cassidy rocks an awesome messy braid at the 2010 people’s choice awards. I’m Joey
Maalouf and with a few simple steps I’m going to show you how it’s done.
The first step is going to be a really simple sectioning in the front on both sides by placing our
pinky finger behind the ear and just sectioning of the hair to the crown of the head. This hair
we’re going to move aside to the front and we’re going to work on the back area and section it
into three almost equal sections, it doesn’t have to be too perfect.
Step two, we’re going to take this back section and create a sexy side braid. Since she has bangs
on this side, I’m going to go to the opposite side with the braid almost moving it forward towards
the shoulder. so that you’ll get more of a braid when you push it all the way forward and I tend to
let that tail at the end of the braid. So I’m going to leave about two inches and then you can just
take your thumb fingers and mess up the braid just by taking the heart shape inside the braid and
just push it up, it just makes a little more bohemian.
Step three, we’re going to take each side one at a time and I’m going to lightly tease the bottom
of the hair. We’re going to take the ends and just do a mini braid on the bottom of the section and
then wrap it around my index and middle finger and I’m going to pin it behind the braid three
times. And we’re going to repeat the same method on the other side and then when you put the
braid over it, it hides it. And just to give it a little extra texture I like to take a little pieces and lift
them up and just spray them slightly just to make it as messier as simple as you want.
You see the messy side braid on Katie Cassidy, Rachel Mc Adams and on the runway with
Alexander Wayne and now you know how to get the look.
