Trending: Side Swept Goddess Braid

Hair by Benita Blocker

I have seen all races of women, Celebrities all with this Side Swept Goddess braid.  It starts with a side part.  It is a trendy, elegant style!

I used Expression length Jumbo braiding hair. I was able to braid to the end because of the two different lengths. (84" and 85")

Pictured is how I got started. I used the headband curling technique to achieve this style.  My locs required a couple of hours drying time plus an overnight sleep.  I believe I have talked about this headband method in another article on this blog.  It is a "no heat" styling technique, but it has a long drying time.  Actually, it is probably an excellent workout updo.  Be careful not wrap the hair or locs too tightly around the headband.  You do not want to stress the roots.

I had a mushroom look when I took the locs down from the headband so I decided to go with a side sweep styling.
