      INTRODUCTION

      Creating amazing braid designs is not only fun, it’s incredibly easy with just a few simple tools. It really requires no experience, and instantly adds a personal touch to any hairstyle. You just need to learn about a few basic tools and master the most basic braids to get the best results and achieve the hair designs in this book.

      The most important thing to remember is this: Practice makes perfect. You shouldn’t get discouraged if your first braid doesn’t come out exactly like the picture. While many of the hairstyles in this book are simple, others require a lot more braiding experience or a solid understanding of different braiding styles. But don’t worry—after a few tries and with the right tools, you’ll master these intricate braids and even be able to create your own original ones.

      So say goodbye to boring hairstyles that leave you wanting more, and hello to attention-grabbing braids! With this book, you’ll have everything you need to turn uninspired hair into fun, one-of-a-kind styles.

      CHAPTER 1

      HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

      You might think that hairstylists are the only ones who can create beautiful, intricate braids. After all, they’ve taken classes and have made a career out of giving thousands of clients the perfect style. But creating complex braids isn’t nearly as difficult as you might think. In fact, once you get started, you’ll wonder why you were ever intimidated by the designs you see in magazines and online. Best of all, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that not only did you accomplish this salon-quality look on your own, but you didn’t have to spend a lot of money doing so. There are just a couple of things you need to know before you get started.

      Prepping Your Hair for Creating Braids

      In order to get the most beautiful braids possible, you will want to make sure you prep your hair according to what best suits your hair type. Most women will be able to create the styles in this book using dry hair, but if you are new to braiding, you may want to start off with damp hair. Dampening your hair with a spritz of water will make your hair more manageable, make the braids look sleeker, and help prevent the hairstyle from falling out. If you have very fine, straight hair that tends to loosen up in braids, applying mousse right before braiding may help braids stay in place and reduce flyaways. Those with curly hair will want to apply a smoothing serum or curl cream before braiding to avoid frizz. It may also be helpful for you
