Hair DIY | Extra Long Beyoncé Braids

fashionlush, beyonce braids

A few weeks ago my best friend & I went to the Beyoncé concert (life changing!) & for it- we decided we wanted SUPER long french braids a la Bey in the Formation video + every member of Kardashian/Jenner clan.

Obviously my hair isn’t too long & getting extensions wasn’t gonna happen, so I went the loose hair route & it was pretty amazing.

Not to mention, the loose hair shouldn’t cost you more than $3 a pack (no need to get the fancy stuff), so you won’t be breaking the night for a one day hairstyle. Ya feel?

Check the video + instruction below on how to achieve this look in just a few simple steps!

Supplies: loose hair (from beauty supply store! it shouldn’t cost you more than $5), clear hair ties, hairspray

» 1. Starting at your scalp about an inch away from your scalp, grab a small section of hair.

» 2. Brush out your loose hair, making sure it’s free of tangles & look around the small section of hair.

» 3. Begin inverted french braid, adding loose hair to the other two sections.

» 4. Once you have three long sections, continue braiding all the way to the ends.

» 5. Secure with clear hairspray& spray the top of your hair to keep the fly aways to a minimum.

» Optional: when you hit the nap of your neck, you can always add in more hair to make the braids even longer!

» Optional: if you’ve got roots you want to cover up, we used a sponge root cover up to help make them darker!
