Step 1: Part your hair

Begin by parting your hair down the center. Apply TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Anti-Frizz Heat Defense Spray from roots to ends. Its non-sticky formula, with keratin and marula oil, protects against heat damage, fights frizz, and tames flyaways.

Step 2: Create soft waves

For your first bend, start at the roots. Clamp a small hair section, turning the iron away from your face. Gently glide it down to the ends to create your curl. Repeat this technique on all sections for consistent soft waves. Here’s how to do beach waves with a flat iron.

Step 3: Lift up

Need to boost flat hair or add extra volume? Spray TRESemmé Dry Texture Finishing Mist throughout your hair. This mist adds natural texture and creates lightweight volume hair without crunchiness or stickiness. It also enhances grip for your braids, ensuring accessories stay perfectly in place.

Step 4: Start braiding

Choose your preferred boho braid hairstyle: the classic Dutch braid or an intricate fishtail braid. Section your hair into two halves down the center. Create two braids, weaving playful ribbons and strings of pearls into each. Secure the ends with a clear hair tie.

Step 5: Loosen up

To achieve the authentic boho effect, your boho braid hairstyle should appear slightly messy. Use your fingers to gently loosen a few sections, pulling out the edges. This technique makes your braids look fuller and more voluminous.

Step 6: Add more accessories

Step 7: Give your hairstyle a neat finish

To ensure your hairstyle holds longer, finish with TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Hair Spray. This hair spray adds shine, reduces frizz, and provides perfect finishing touches for flyaway control. Seeking more braided hairstyles? Explore halo braids for a romantic half-up look.

Both Dutch braids and fishtail braids are ideal for achieving the signature boho style. These techniques create the textured, voluminous look characteristic of boho braids. Dutch braids offer a fuller, more prominent appearance, while fishtail braids provide an intricate, delicate base for ribbons and pearls.

Heat styling is optional but recommended for optimal results. Creating soft waves with a flat iron before braiding adds texture and volume, making your boho braids appear fuller. If skipping heat, apply TRESemmé Dry Texture Finishing Mist to add grip and natural-looking texture.

Ribbons, strings of pearls, bejeweled accents, and decorative bows perfectly complement boho braids. Weave ribbons and pearls directly into the braids as you create them. Add bejeweled clips and bows after braiding for extra embellishment and a personalized festival-ready or evening look.

To prevent frizz, use TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Anti-Frizz Heat Defense Spray before styling. Its formula with keratin and marula oil protects hair from heat damage. Finish with TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Hair Spray to reduce frizziness and maintain a smooth style throughout the day.
