What You Need
To create lemonade braids with a heart on the side, you will need several supplies. First, you will need a tail comb, which you can find at any beauty supply store. You will also need a spray bottle with water, elastics, and some styling products. If you have an edge control product, such as Edge Booster or Eco Styler, this would be ideal. Lastly, you will need several packs of kanekalon hair, which comes in various colors and textures. Make sure to choose a color and texture that will match your natural hair color.
Step by Step Instructions
Begin by sectioning off the hair into four equal parts. Once you have done this, create a small part along the edge of the hairline. This is where you will be creating the heart. Now, begin to create two-strand twists on each side of the head. Make sure that the twists are tight and secure. To do this, spray each twist with a little bit of water. Begin to braid each twist and secure the end with an elastic. Once you have finished both sides, you can begin to create the heart. To do this, you will need to create a small part along the hairline. This should be about three inches in width. Begin to braid the hair in a circular motion. Keep braiding until you have reached the end of the part.
Adding Extensions
Now, you can begin to add extensions to the braids. To do this, separate each braid into two sections. Begin to add kanekalon hair to each section, making sure to secure the hair with a secure knot. Continue to do this until you have reached the end of the braid. Once you have finished, spray with a little bit of water and apply a styling product, if desired. Make sure to use a light hand, as you don’t want to weigh down the hair. You can also use a curling wand or flat iron to give the hair more volume and definition.
Creating the Heart
Now, it is time to create the heart. Begin by sectioning off the front of the head into two parts. Now, begin to create two-strand twists on each side of the head. Make sure that the twists are tight and secure. To do this, spray each twist with a little bit of water. Begin to braid each twist and secure the end with an elastic. Once you have finished both sides, you can begin to create the heart. To do this, you will need to create a small part along the hairline. This should be about three inches in width. Begin to braid the hair in a circular motion. Keep braiding until you have reached the end of the part.
Finishing Touches
Once you have finished braiding the heart, you can add a few finishing touches. To do this, you can use a curling wand or flat iron to give the hair more volume and definition. You can also accessorize the heart by adding beads or other hair decorations. Once you have finished, spray the hair with a little bit of hairspray to keep it in place. You can also apply a little bit of edge control to give the hairline a polished look.
