For Spring 2016, hairstyling addicts can easily take their cues from signature looks of the past and channel their inner 1960s goddess with intricate braided locks. Just in time for the season of bohemian chic fashion, Sixties inspired locks can easily offer you a boost of volume. If you’re looking to capture your inner Brigitte Bardot, try achieving a flawless side braid with this simple hair tutorial.

1) Start off by dividing your locks into a half-up hairstyle with volume at the crown: To begin creating your hairstyle, start off by brushing out your locks and pulling your tresses into a neat half-up and half-down hairstyle. Create a bouffant in order to offer yourself volume at the crown, by backcombing a small section of your locks. Next, twist the locks together to craft a perfect half updo. Use bobby pins to hold your tresses in place.

2) Wrap your locks into a sleek bun: Bring your hairstyle to the next level by carefully wrapping your styled locks into an intricate, thin rolled bun.

3) Plait your free-falling locks into a ladylike side braid: Next, gather your loose locks from underneath and weave them into a girlish side braid which falls softly over one shoulder. Hold your braid in position with a hair elastic, and allow a few face-framing and wavy loose strands to bring softness to your look.

4) Bring texture to your braid for a finishing touch: Next, use your fingers to carefully loosen the sections of the braid for a pancaked, textured effect. Continue to loosen your braid from the bottom up, until you reach the top of your hairstyle. Adjust any flyaway strands, and get ready to stun with your new vintage inspired style.
