1. Spray your roots with dry shampoo and work the shampoo into your roots with your finger tips. Take a segment of your hair from the right side and start to french braid. Secure with a rubberband.
2. Take a segment of hair from the left side and french braid. Secure with a rubberband. With your fingertips, pull on the sides of each braid to make them look fuller (below far right).
3. Below the right side braid, grab another segment of hair and french braid parallel to the top braid. Secure with a rubberband. Use your fingertips to gently pull on the sides of the braid to make it look fuller.
4. Take the two right side braids and pull across the back of the head to the left side. Bobby pin under the left braid. Take the left side braid and pull across the back of the head under the two pinned braids. Bobby pin the left braid down, tucking the end of the braid underneath the right side braids and bobby pinning. 5. Brush out the un-braided hair with the soft bristle brush, add the Dream Drops to the ends of the hair, and use hair spray all over. You're done!
