A modern take on the Bardot beehive, this look is kept fresh by adding a cute fishtail braid with long loose waves - the ideal relaxed, dressy, summer style.
In this simple step-by-step, the Headmasters artistic team demonstrate how to create a boho beehive in five simple steps.
1. Spritz L'Oréal Professionnel tecni art pli throughout the lengths and ends, and apply tecni art volume riche to the roots for additional height. Divide the hair into large sections and, with a large barrel, tong for subtle movement.
2. Take a horseshoe section from around the crown and gently tease the hair for extra volume.
3. Take 1" sized pieces from one side of the horseshoe section and split into two.
4. Cross one section of the hair over the other section to create the fishtail braid adding hair from the top only, as this will help define the plait so that it hangs over the loose hair. Repeat on the other side.
5. Secure the plait together using a clear elastic hair band between the crown and the nape. Tease the plait and brush through the curls to keep the look loose and undone.
