Sporty Look How To: Parallel Plaits by Frank Rizzieri for Aveda

Aveda Artist, Frank Rizzieri, created side-by-side plaits for the Stella McCartney for Adidas SS17 Collection presentation – learn HOW TO!

We had to create a style that would stay put during a high impact workout,” said Rizzieri. “With a little assistance from Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray we were able to add lasting hold and humidity defense to set the style.

How to Get the Look

  • Step 1: Apply NEW Damage Remedy™ Split End Repair to the ends of completely dry hair to instantly draw separated ends back together and help prevent new splits from forming.
    Step 2: With a wide tooth comb, create a middle part from the forehead to the nape of neck. Divide hair into right and left sections.
    Step 3: Gather three small sections of hair from the forehead on the right side and begin to French braid hair slowly so that the braid gets thicker.
  • Step 4: Secure the end of French braid with a thin elastic and repeat on the other side.
    Step 5: Spray Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray directly onto a fine tooth comb and finish the look by gently combing flyaways into place over the entire head.
