How to Master the Rodarte Rosette

During the Fall 2013 runway shows, one thing was apparent… Braids are IN. The models on the Rodarte catwalk stood out above the rest so we did a little investigating on how to do the “Rodarte Rosette”.

1. With Damp Hair start by adding curl reviver mousse spray to add some texture. Blow dry with your fingers to create a loose wavy look. Finger roll some of the strands in the front to create a tighter curl.

2. Use a curling iron and hairspray to create curls from mid-crown down.

3. Grab a section of hair from each side of the front, and braid, connecting at the back of the head. Wrap the ends of the braids into a rosette shape, and secure with bobby pins.

4. Grab a section of hair directly below the rosette you’ve created, and braid this straight down to the ends of the hair, securing with an elastic.

5. Smooth out some of the ends, try not to polish the hair too much though because you want a textured, almost messy look to pull this off!

Love braids, but don’t know how to make them? Grab a comb, clip, and elastic and get started now!

1. Part your hair down the center. Beginning on the right side of your part at your forehead, twist a one-inch section of hair away from your face.

2. Use a comb to separate a 1/2-inch section right below the first section along your face and twist that piece away from your face, combining it with the first piece.

3. Continue adding 1/2-inch pieces along your hairline down to your neck. Use a clip or a bobby pin to hold the hair in place at the nape of your neck.

4. Repeat the twisting on the left side, starting at your forehead.

5. When you reach the nape of your neck, unclip the right side and hold both the left and right sides in two separate sections.

6. Pull a 1/2-inch section of hair from the right section and add it to the left section. Repeat with a piece from the left section, adding it to the right section.

7. Continue adding 1/2-inch pieces down to the ends and secure with an elastic.
