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 into
00:29three, take the top section over the middle, and then that section under there. And then
00:33as you take another section from the top part down the side in a diagonal, then you add this
00:40section into that middle section, braid over, and then take your next section again, again
00:45adding into the middle hair, and just continuing this method all the way around the head. And
00:51then once you get to the end of your braid, take a small elastic and tie the end off. And
00:56once you've got the base in, you can then go through and break it up a little bit just
01:00using your fingers, just to make it a bit softer, make it a bit fatter as well, because
01:05then that's going to be a great base for when you want to go in and pin your flowers into
01:08place. I've picked really quite small little roses. I just go into the braid, and if you
01:15turn them upside down and push them in that way, so they're almost embedded into the braid.
01:21And then you take your bobby pin, and just secure the base of the flower into the braid.
01:28Also the thing is, not to overdo it, I think less is more with something like that, because
01:32you don't want it to look like a rose garden. And when you cut the flowers off, make sure
01:37that you leave a long enough stem. Also for me, I think it's really nice just to kind of
01:43focus on this area here, and not bring it round into this side, so it's just all concentrated
01:48there and then comes into the braid. So just in the front here, I'm going to use
01:52a little bit of the Vidal Sassoon Colourfinity Dry Shampoo. And what this does, it just helps
01:56to give the hair a little bit of guts, and hold it into place. So here we have our beautiful
02:02Bohemian Floral Braid. As festival seasons upon us, and you're getting bored of those crown
02:06braids, hopefully this is going to be something that you'll be rocking.
02:08I'll be safe and forever. In my heart, in my heart, in my heart, in my heart, in my heart.
