Too busy for style?

Something for the women among us, who do not like to spend a lot of time styling or simply do not have the time for it. You only need a few tools and tricks to achieve a perfect braid-look! The best way to obtain the braided hairstyles is to not braid your hair directly after washing it. If you wait, it gives you the required hold, ensuring a long durability of your braids-hairdo.

The following tools and products are the foundation of every braiding hairstyle:

- Brush and/or Comb with antistatic effect! 

- Bobby Pins; simple hairpins

- Thin and simple hair elastics without metal 

- Hairspray and/or hair mousse

- If necessary: use straightener or hair dryer for more complex looks
