Hairstyle:the impressive rose-shaped braids of an American artist

The braid is a bit of a hairstyle for sunny days. Whether it is Indian – that is to say, it starts from the top of the skull and goes down to the nape of the neck, doubled and distributed on each side of the neck à la Pocahontas or even on the cob, it presents the advantage of clearing the face while keeping a sophisticated look. And speaking of sophistication, we have found THE braided hairstyle that breaks all records in the field and is more appropriate for a big occasion (wedding season is about to begin, you said?!) than for a night out on the town. . It is the work of artist Alison Valsamis, originally from the American state of Connecticut, who was inspired by the rose and declined two hair styles:one which consists of displaying a giant rose in a bun at the back of the skull, another more relaxed one which includes 3 smaller creations with the effigy of the flower scattered on both sides.

Take care to loosen the braids

The professional explains to the magazine Allure how she did it:“To create these roses, I start by making a traditional three-strand braid that I wrap around itself. It serves as the basis. Then, I alternate wheat ear braids and Dutch braids [which are worked along the skull, ndlr] which I finally loosen to create depth ". After taking turns wrapping the braids around the base, Alison Valsamis explains that she creates one last chunky three-strand braid that she “rips out” even more than the others to look like the rose is blooming. Superb, isn't it? We're not sure we'll be able to reproduce such a style by following these few guidelines, but if the look appeals to you, we're sure that a photo brought to your hairdresser will be enough to transform you into an official botanical goddess. Again, for a wedding, we find the hairstyle absolutely CA-NON! And you?
