Start finishing the braid once you near your ear, using a bobby pin to secure it. Clip the curls using a bobby pin, either pinning them to the side of your head or lifting a section of your curls and hiding the bobby pin underneath. Instead of trying to separate your curls as you braid, which can result in frizz, pull in the entire curl as you braid if necessary. Select the section of hair that you'd like to pull back and twist it a several times. Use bobby pins to pin the strand to the side of your head, or hide the bobby pinned section by securing it under a section of curls. This works well for both long and short curly hair. Put the headband on over your hair so that it rests at the curve in the back of your head. Tuck your hair into the band in 1-2 inch (2.5-5 cm) sections, starting from behind your ears. After passing a section through, you'll then re-tuck it so that it gradually forms a roll. Work your way towards the back of your head, until all the hair is tucked. Secure the roll with a few bobby pins if needed. The band will be exposed at the top of your head. Pull together the middle-front section of your hair, twisting it into a small bun that sits on the top of your head. Secure the bun using bobby pins or small hair clips. You can loosen the bun before pinning it so that it lays flat on your head. For longer hair, try pulling up the rest of your hair into a ponytail once the bun is secured on top of your head. Braid a 1-2 inch (2.5-5 cm) section of hair starting from above your left ear. Angle the braid to wrap back around your head and secure it with a small, clear elastic. Repeat this same process using a strand from above your right ear. Once both strands are braided and secured, cross them behind each other before pinning. Wrap the left braid back and around, towards the right ear. Secure with a few bobby pins. Repeat with the right braid, crossing it over the first braid and tucking the end underneath it before pinning it.
