Get Ready for the Big Game with The Braid Up: A Rihanna-Inspired Hairstyle

Get Ready for the Big Game with The Braid Up: A Rihanna-Inspired Hairstyle

Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner and all eyes will be on the 57th annual NFL Super Bowl. While the football game may be the main event, let's be real, the real showstopper is the highly anticipated halftime performance by none other than the legend herself, Rihanna.

This hairstyle is perfect for those who want to show stop for the big game and make a statement with their hair.

Here's what you'll need to recreate this look at home:

  1. Secure your edges: To keep your natural hair from lifting after the braiding is done, start by wrapping the front part of your hair with a wrap to help mold the style. This will ensure that your hair looks sleek and secure after all the styling is complete.

  2. Stock up on hair: This look calls for extra-long braids, so you'll need a few packs of pre-stretched Kanekalon hair to achieve the desired length. Feel free to switch up the color of your braiding hair to give the style a personal touch.

  3. Use craft wire for structure: To sculpt the updo's design, intertwine craft wire through the braid. Make sure to use a wire that's not too thin (18 gauge or 1.0 mm is recommended).

  4. Perfect your edges: The final touch to this look is to lay down your edges with a good edge brush and edge control product. With the right tools, styling your baby hairs will be a breeze.
