Step 5: If your hair isn’t long enough for the braid to reach your opposite ear, pin along the top of your head, and the two braids overlapping in the middle will create the look of a complete headband. Repeat this step on the opposite side of your head, placing the second braid just behind the first one across the top of your head.
Also use small bobby pins along the top of your head to keep the braid from falling.

The thickness of the braid will depend on how big of a section you braid, so depending on whether you want a thin headband or a thick headband, choose how much hair to take. Step 2: Starting at one side of your head, take the section of hair just below your ear and begin braiding, all the way to the end. Step 1: Begin by styling hair however you would normally, either straight, wavy, curly or a mixture of any of the above.
