Hi, I'm Aisha, and I'm a natural hairstylist. Today, I'm going to show you how to create a Boho braided hairstyle. It can turn any casual outfit funky. So, let's get started. Here are the tools that you'll need to get started, a paddle brush, duck clips, straight pins and rubber bands. For Boho braided hairstyles, you can do as many braids as you'd like. For this style, I'll be doing two braids on either side and you want to take the braid from the temple and section off the hair. You braid the braid down, downwards and then put a rubber band to hold it. Then, once you've completed that, you take both braids from either side, join them in the back with straight pins and then pull the hair, the remainder here that's loose out, twist the bottom and bring it around loosely over the remaining. Use your straight pins to secure the bun. I'm Aisha, and this is how you create a Boho braided hairstyle. It's fun, easy and fabulous.
