If you’re looking for a creative yet convenient way to keep your long tresses under control this season, a simple braided hairstyle can save you from the trouble of constantly pushing strands away from your visage. Whether you’re heading out for dinner with your girlfriends or simply looking for an easy hairstyling fix for a weekday morning, here’s how to achieve a quick front row braid in a few simple steps.

1) Start off with smooth and sleek middle-parted hair: Carefully untangle and brush your locks, and then divide your hair into a neat middle part. Next, pull back one thin segment near your visage, and clip back into place with a hairstyling clip.

2) Create a thin front braid: Once you’ve clipped back a segment of your locks, start plaiting a face-framing section of hair into a skinny braid. Fasten your braid with a clear hair elastic.

3) Repeat the process for the other side of your hair: After you’ve crafted a gorgeous thin plait on one side, use a hairstyling clip to secure another thin section of your hair into place on the opposite side. Repeat the process by creating a matching skinny braid and tying it into place. Next, use your fingers to loosen both braids slightly for a natural, textured effect.

4) Wrap both braids back and fasten them at the back of your head: At this point, you should have two skinny braids which are hanging on either side. Carefully wrap them against the back of your head and fasten them in place with an elastic band. Brush out your locks again for a smooth, even look, and fix any flyaway strands before showcasing your feminine yet fuss-free braided hairstyle.
