'The Braid Up': How to Create This Layered Protective Hairstyle This look is seriously a head-turner. Jun 4, 2021 It's pretty mind-blowing how versatile protective styles can be. Case in point: the super-intricate style on this week's Braid Upthat we're dubbing "The Flower Bomb Braid." Hairstylist Tiffany Anderson is the mastermind behind this artful style, and let me just say it's definitely a compliment magnet. I mean, this look is absolutely layered—it's got longer braids in the front, Bantu knots up top, and a pretty flower design right in the back. We loveee a 3-in-1 concept! Do yourself a favor and check out the video above and prepare to make this look a staple in your summer lineup. I can already picture it with a pair of cute earrings and a little sundress—such a vibe.
