We admit it: we're gaga for curls in any form. Give us your loose waves, your super-tight spirals — we love them all. And, we love figuring out new ways that girls with curls can show off what they've got. Enter the braided headband: Our newest hairstylist crush, Michael Duenas of Hair Room Service, thought it would be the perfect way to frame Candace's face while allowing her to flaunt her fabulous blonde coils.

00:08Hi I'm Candice and I'm Michael Duenas and today I'm going to show you how to do a half braided
00:12headband. You want to start with completely wet hair. She's going to mist herself down with a
00:16spray bottle but I highly recommend getting out of the shower with saturated hair. Once you're
00:20finished wetting your hair down take conditioner, emulsify it very well in your palms and rake it
00:25from your scalp to your ends. So once you have finished running the conditioner through your
00:30hair take a paper towel and start from the ends of your hair and scrunch your hair all the way
00:34to
00:34your scalp. Do not use a normal terry cloth towel. This will pull the fibers of your hair apart. Use
00:39a t-shirt, paper towel or microfiber towel. So once you have scrunched all the moisture out of your
00:43hair flip your head back to move your hair into the place you want to be and then start diffusing
00:48until it's completely dry. Try not to touch it whatsoever with your hands. The less you touch
00:52your hair the less spritz you'll have. Once your hair is dry you want to flip your head
00:56upside down and scrunch from the ends of your hair all the way to your scalp. It's going
01:01to help them break apart the curls and give it more of a natural look. Once you have broken
01:04up all the product in your hair then you can flip your head back and you're ready to style.
01:09For the half braided headband you're going to start at a deep side parting, braid along your
01:13hairline to just past your temple and then you're going to start braiding towards the back
01:18of your head all with doing a French braid. Once you've braided to the round of your head
01:22in the back you're going to braid from your deep side parting to just past your temple
01:26and keep your French braid to the round of the back of your head. Once you've reached
01:30that point continue braiding normal down towards the side of your face. Braid halfway to the
01:35ends of your hair and secure it in elastic. Secure your braid with a bob pin towards the nape
01:40of your neck. And that's the half braided headband.
