Tips & Tricks #4: Sharks (hair that pokes out)

Have you ever gotten completely done with a braid only to find one rogue piece of hair bumping out? These little flyers can ruin even the best of hairstyles!

Here’s a trick that works with most sharks. This one is hard to see, but if you look at the second braid to the left, right where the braid changes from a french braid to a regular braid, you will notice a shark (yes I’m really quite picky!)…

Take a bobby pin and grab the middle of the shark. Push bobby pin down into hair until hidden. This takes the excess hair in the shark and incorporates it back into the braid…
