Double Infinity Braid Tutorial

I board a plane to Hawaii in just over a week, then a flight to Australia just a couple days after that, and have been preparing like crazy! One thing I have been thinking about is how I want to do my hair for the long flights ahead. The style has got to last all day, be no fuss, while also being comfortable and something I can keep in for hours on end. So, after a lot of thought, I think I have decided on a double infinity braid! Its an easy style that is sturdier than a regular braid, while still something I will be comfortable in. (tutorial below)

To keep my hair in place, all day, I'm also going to be using the breakthrough NEW TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Texture. I've been loving this hairspray and how it gives style without stiffness for a natural, lasting hold that moves with me. I've never been a fan of extra-hold hairsprays, so this is right up my alley! This hairspray has even been reinvented with compression technology, so it creates a fine, weightless mist that provides a flexible hold and uses 50% less gas per spray than 11-ounce cans! Win-win.

Here's how to get my Double Infinity Braid look:

Step 1 - Separate your hair into two equal sections. You can tie off one side while you work on the other, to keep it out of your way, if needed.

Step 2 - Begin a Dutch Braid (which is the same as a French Braid, except the strands go under each other as they cross, rather than over) at the top, inside corner of your hair (near the part).

Step 3 - Continue your Dutch Braid until you reach the nape of your neck.

Step 4 - Turn your three strand braid into a two strand by splitting the middle section between the front and back sections. Begin your infinity braid by taking a small strand from the outside of one section, crossing it over its own section, then under and around the opposite section. Add it back to its original section, then repeat on the other side. You're basically creating an infinity sign.

Step 5 - Continue your infinity braid until you reach the end, and secure with a clear elastic. Then pull the braid apart a bit, to give it a messier look.

Step 6 - Repeat on the other side, then pull out a few baby hairs to frame your face and add to the messy look.

Step 7 - Finish off with some TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Texture to secure the braid, but to also let it move, naturally.

Step 8 - Top your hairdo off with an accessory, if you want to give it an added punch.

You can pick up the new TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairsprays at your local Walmart! It comes in four varieties from TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Texture, which I used, to TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Extend.

How would you do your hair for a long flight?
