The LaPointe Autumn/Winter 2024 collection pushed boundaries with eye-catching colors and textures. Session stylist Joey George used Oribe products to bring the LaPointe innovative spirit to life with variations of forward-styled cornrow braids, finished with space buns.
Get the Look: Reverse Braided Buns
- First, prime damp hair with Foundation Mist and Invisible Defense Universal Protection Spray to protect the hair from heat damage.
- Next, spray Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray and blow dry the hair straight to elongate texture.
- After the hair is dried, apply Gel Sérum Radiance, Magic and Hold and Rough Luxury Molding Wax to form and gather the hair at the nape of the neck.
- Starting at the nape of the neck, create forward-styled cornrow braids. To begin the braid, cross the left strand over the middle strand, then cross the right strand over the middle strand. Every time you cross over a section, add a small strand of hair from the same section. Repeat this motion toward the top of the head until the braid meets the base of the hair.
- Wrap the base of the hair into a small bun at the front of the head and secure with a pin.
- Set the look with Superfine Strong Hair Spray for long-lasting hold.
