Styling Method

A lace braid only picks up hair from one side (the front hairline side), creating a clean, floating braided edge across the head. Start at the top corner of the forehead and Dutch-lace-braid diagonally across the crown toward the opposite lower corner. Because hair is only added from the front, the back remains smooth. Gather the end of the diagonal braid and the remaining hair into a mid-height side ponytail, fluffing the ponytail with a little leave-in curl cream for extra bounce.
