How to make a star braid with mini buns
The starry protective style in this week’s episode of The Braid Up is an absolute head-turner folks.

Watch it all come to life in the video above—and don’t forget to check out the four pro tips below if you want to give this style (or any protective style, TBH) a spin for yourself.

Use a pre-poo on your wash day
Doing so will prevent breakage and tangling while washing. Plus, pre-poos have conditioning properties so your hair will be seriously softer and shinier too.
Play with colors
This style is just begging for a two-tone vibe. Even if you’re not into bright shades like the purple in today’s episode, adding honey brown or platinum blonde braids will give this look a little something extra.
Finishing gloss is your friend
When you hit the two-week mark and notice that your style is starting to lose its luster, grab a finishing gloss to restore its original luster. Just make sure the one you choose is alcohol-free so you don’t dry out your hair.
Try this look with straight braids
Instead of wrapping the braids in the buns, you can seal them with warm water for an equally cool vibe.
