Here’s how to create pom pom braids

1. Blow dry hair

2. Add texture then backcomb roots

3. Create parting and run styler through from mid-lengths to end

4. Secure pom poms to hair and braid

5. Loosen pom pom braids

1. Blow dry hair

Blow dry hair with the ghd air® hairdryer and round ghd natural bristle brush.

2. Add texture then backcomb roots

Spray ghd root lift spray and ghd curl hold spray into hair to add texture, then gently backcomb the roots all over.

3. Create parting and run styler through from mid-lengths to end

Create a natural centre parting with fingers by zig zagging a finger down the parting then smooth the mid lengths and ends of the hair using the ghd platinum+ styler.

4. Secure pom poms to hair and braid

Pin and secure two different coloured pom-pom trims into the hair by criss-crossing two kirby grips over each other just behind the ear. Braid into the hair and apply a clear band at the ends to hold the plaits.

5. Loosen pom pom braids

Gently pull the pom-poms out of the braids so that they’re more visible and pull the braid apart to make it wider. Set with ghd final fix hair spray.
