About Intricate Braids & Open Styles

For these intricate braids, the secret is not just in the braiding but in the base prep. I teach my students to focus on the 'pulling and spreading' technique, which gives that signature volume you see in my work. Without the right crimping and texturizing spray, the style will fall flat.
