00:08Hi, I'm Ben Skirbin, and I'm the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Ambassador, and I'm going to be
00:12showing you how to pin flowers into a beautiful braid. First step is, I'm going to put in a
00:16loose side parting, just using my finger to part the hair. So the first section we take
00:20for the braid is going to be in the front here. The braid is going to go along the bottom
00:24of the hair, and come round, and then sit on one side. So you split the front section
00:29into three, take the top section over the middle, and then that section under there,
00:33and then as you take another section from the top part down the side in a diagonal, then
00:39you add this section into that middle section, braid over, and then take your next section
00:44again, again adding into the middle hair, and just continuing this method all the way around
00:50the head. And then once you get to the end of your braid, take a small elastic, and tie
00:55the end off. And once you've got the base in, you can then go through and break it up a
00:59little
00:59bit, just using your fingers, just to make it a bit softer, make it a bit fatter as well,
01:05because then that's going to be a great base for when you want to go in and pin your flowers
01:08into place. I've picked really quite small little roses. I just go into the braid, and
01:14if you turn them upside down, and push them in that way, so they're almost embedded into
01:21the braid. And then you take your bobby pin, and just secure the base of the flower into
01:27the braid. Also the thing is, not to overdo it, I think less is more with something like
01:32that, because you don't want it to look like a rose garden. And when you cut the flowers off,
01:37make sure that you leave a long enough stem. Also for me, I think it's really nice just to
01:43kind of focus on this area here, and not bring it round into this side. So it's just all
01:48concentrated there, and then comes into the braid. So just in the front here, I'm going
01:52to use a little bit of the Vidal Sassoon Colourfinity Dry Shampoo. And what this does,
01:56it just helps to give the hair a little bit of guts, and hold it into place. So here we
02:01have our beautiful Bohemian Floral Braid. As festival season is upon us, and you're getting
02:05bored of those crown braids, hopefully this is going to be something that you'll be rocking.
02:13in my heart, in my heart, in my heart, in my heart...
