The braid in the front of the hair is one of the main trends for this season.

Typically, these braids are thin and delicate as they hang loosely framing the sides of the face. And since they don't need a lot of length and volume to be done, they are one of the best hairstyle options for short curly hair.

Another benefit is that the braid in the front of the hair can be combined with several other hairstyles that you will know in this list, such as the double bun, the ponytail and half-up hairstyles, for example. To contain frizz and keep your braids neatly aligned, nothing better than finishing the strands with a hairstyle cream for curly hair rich in shea butter and linseed oil, such as Cachos do Seu Jeito, to hydrate and give definition to the locks.

The root braid enhances buns, ponytails and other hairstyles for curly hair

To reproduce the look, simply braid the strands as normal, but keep the loose ends to create a bun or ponytail. If you want, you can braid only part of the strands or one side of the head. Another alternative is the half-up hairstyle with root braid, which emphasizes the curvature of curly hair leaving part of the strands loose.

Did you have a little john cut and want to renew your look? It's possible, diva! And the secret to that is to bet on the finger waves. The idea is to make waves in the hair with your fingers (finger = finger; waves = waves), but in fact they serve as a support for the fine comb that is essential in creating the look, since it will be with it that you will create the hair. waves drawing. Another essential item is a finisher that gives definition and fixation to the locks to guarantee the durability of the styling. Therefore, the Definition Pudding combined with a capillary gel is a good bet.

See the step by step of the finger waves:

Step 1: With the fine-toothed comb, make a side parting in the hair. You can split it to your preference.

Step 2: Apply the Definition Pudding and the capillary gel all over the hair, using your hands to spread the products and a fine-toothed comb if you need to align or detangle any part.

Step 3: With the fine-toothed comb, start creating waves throughout the hair and use your fingertips to secure the design. Tip: keep the comb slightly angled and only use the front part, so you don't undo the waves in the already styled areas.

Step 4 and 5 (optional): If desired, use a small hairbrush to style the baby hair. Next, wrap the strands in a scarf and wait for it to dry.

Step 6: After complete drying of the strands, the finger waves are more apparent and the look will be complete.

Half-up with a braid, with buns and accessories: bet on these hairstyles for curly hair

When it comes to versatility, half-up hairstyles are champions in this regard. Perfect for short curly hair, they can be styled with braids, buns and accessories. The semi-updo with side braid and front of the hair is a minimalist and delicate version of the look and one of the most used. The half-stud with little coconuts, on the other hand, is a great alternative to vary the look on a daily basis with an extra charm. For the more practical ones, the tip is to bet on the half-up hairstyle with accessories, which can be positioned on one side of the head or on the front.

As only part of the hair is caught in these hairstyles, usually the top part, it is important to take great care in finishing so that the loose part does not clash with the rest of the look. Our suggestion is to enhance the texture and volume of curly hair with a finisher that stimulates this characteristic, such as Volumão Jelly, making volume one of the protagonists of the look's composition.
