Braided Hairstyles Chicago IL

With tribal prints and embroidery adorning Lela Rose’s feminine frocks, her safari theme influenced the hair at her show as well. “Lela’s inspiration was about being in Africa,” says Ted Gibson, the creative coiffeur behind Rose’s braided tresses. “She brought me this really incredible book full of women with these beautiful, elaborate hairdos. In creating a modern interpretation of that, I envisioned a woman riding in a Jeep with her hair blowing in the wind—she braids it away from her face in a way that still looks really chic.”

The trick to achieving Gibson’s twists? “Make sure the braid isn’t too perfect and that it’s roughed up a bit,” he says. Before braiding, Gibson used his Tame It Shine Lotion to add texture. Next, he made a deep side part and braided a cornrow going from front to back. Placing a braided chignon at the nape of the neck, Gibson finished the look with his Beautiful Hold Hairspray.
