The classic braid
Step 1: Gather a small section of hair from the front and scrape back – it’s a good idea to apply hair serum to the hair first to avoid stray hairs and make it easier to style.
Step 2: Divide the section of hair into three and then begin to french braid.
Step 3: Braid by looping each section of hair underneath the other. As you do this gather hair from the sides and add these to the sections of hair whilst looping.
Step 4: Continue all the way down, making sure you pull the hair tight so that it stays in place.
Step 5: Tie hair together with a hair band, spray with hairspray to keep in place, and you’ve got yourself one Freeletics proof hairstyle ready for training.
