Bold Siren Braid
Products Used:
- Ashtae Clarifying Shampoo
- Ashtae Volumizing Detangling Shampoo
- Ashtae Heavenly Silk & Shine Conditioner
- Ashtae Moisture Plus Leave-In Conditioner
- Ashtae Sili Gloss
Step-By-Step:
1. Cleanse with Ashtae Clarifying Shampoo and Ashtae Volumizing Detangling Shampoo, making sure to rinse thoroughly between each wash. For extra moisture and hydration, apply a dime-sized amount of Ashtae Moisture Plus Leave-In Conditioner.
2. Blow-dry and style the hair with big body curls, then part the hair in five sections that follow the direction of the style’s desired flow.
3. Loosely braid each section, while pinching out sections to create more volume, then combine each end of the five sections to form one large braid.
4. Leave out pieces of tasseled hair, as desired, then finish the look by applying Ashtae Sili Gloss for extra shine.

- Ashtae Diamond Hold Aerosol Spray
Step-By-Step:

3. Beginning at nape of the hair, part a 1½-inch section and clip the extra hair to hold in place. Apply Ashtae Diamond Hold Aerosol Spray to each section, then use a curling wand to curl each section.
