Here’s how to create a braided band updo:
1. Curl hair and brush through to create waves.
2. Create a side-parting
3. Pull your hair into a ponytail
4. Braid front section
5. Wrap braid around pony and secure
6. Create volume and texture

step one: Curl hair and brush through to create waves
Curl your hair in one direction using the ghd curve® classic curl tong and brush through using a ghd paddle brush to create soft waves on the ends of your hair.

step two: create a side-parting
Create a side parting and separate out a section of hair from this parting to behind the opposite ear – this section will form the braid.
step three: Pull your hair into a ponytail
Take the rest of your hair and pull it back into a ponytail, securing it with a hair tie.

step four: Braid front section
Start to braid the front section of hair, adding hair into the middle strand from each side as you work down towards the ends. Secure with elastic.

step five: Wrap braid around pony and secure
Wrap the ends of the braid around the base of the ponytail to cover the elastic, then secure the braid in place using a pin.
step six: create volume and texture
Add volume to your wedding guest hair by using fingers to pull each side of the braid.
If you’re looking to make a statement at your next wedding appearance, this look will exude elegance from the ceremony all the way through to the dance floor. Create this wedding guest hairstyle yourself with the help of the ghd styling kit.
