PANCAKE BRAID UPDO

Make your bridesmaids look breathtaking with this whimsical pancake braid updo. The trick is volume and texture - sculpt waves with the ghd® classic wave wand and add body with ghd total volume foam. With this gorgeous base in place, section the hair and create two Dutch braids that finish at the nape of the neck in a loose bun. Use your fingers to softly tug apart the braids to create that coveted pancake effect.

HALO BRAID

Add an angelic touch to your bridesmaids’ look with a pretty halo braid. Delicate braids are wrapped around their head and embellished with fresh blooms for a natural adornment. Finish with intentional tendrils – they’ll beautifully frame the face when curled loosely with the ghd® soft curl tong.

Pull hair back into a low-slung chignon, then add contrasting texture with a subtle fishtail braid twisting down from one side of your head and around the bun.
