We’re starting week four of quarantine, and I’d say that I’m formally settling into my at-home type. I’ve come to phrases with the truth that the few items of clothes I’d bought for spring might not see the sunshine of day for awhile, and I’m okay with embracing a comfier, extra pared-back look throughout nowadays at dwelling.

And nowhere is that extra true than with my hair. Whereas I’ve mastered the 5-minute make-up routine, I simply actually can’t carry myself to tug my hair dryer out of hiding. Enter: my in a single day french braid waves to the rescue.

I posted a snap of my waves on Instagram Tales the opposite day, and lots of of you guys DM’d me asking precisely how I do my french braid waves. So, right here’s the way it goes down:

• I bathe within the night, comb out my hair, and let it largely air dry.
• Then, whereas I’m watching TV (we’re at present doing an episode of Ozark every night time earlier than mattress), I divide my damp hair into two elements and french braid every part. Do not fear if you happen to’re not an professional french braider… I solely realized find out how to do it final 12 months from watching a YouTube video, and whereas my expertise are nothing to brag about, they get the job completed.
• Safe with skinny elastics, and fall asleep.
• The subsequent morning, I warmth up my flat iron and take 30 seconds to go over my cowlicks within the entrance of my hair, and frivolously straighten my ends so that they’re not flipping out at bizarre angles.
• I spray frivolously throughout with hair spray, shake out the braids, and if I have a pair further minutes, I add a couple of waves with my 1″ curling iron simply to the highest of my head that didn’t get braided.
• Spritz with slightly extra hairspray, add some texture spray, flip my head over and tough all of it up.

Accomplished and completed, out the door. Er, ought to I say… into my front room the place the remainder of my day will start, however I’ll at the least really feel slightly cuter.
