夏天不再单调：8大技巧助你变身编发达人

 　　1.Practice Blind

　　盲编

　　“Make sure when first starting out to braid, you do it without looking in a mirror,” suggests Michael Boychuck, celebrity¹ stylist and owner of COLOR Salon² in Las Vegas. “It’s best to get the feel of how to braid your hair without looking at what you’re doing. Once you get the hang of where your hands should go, you can take your braiding to the next level.”

　　名流造型师兼拉斯维加斯COLOR Salon的经营者迈克尔·伯伊柴克建议道：“在你第一次开始编发时，请确保你没有看着镜子来编。在编辫子时不看镜子是让你找到编发感觉的最好时机。一旦你掌握了手该放哪的窍门，你就能在编辫子上更上一层楼。

　　2.Braid Dry

　　勿编湿发

　　“Don’t braid your hair wet because it will be too heavy,” says stylist Kaylee Pak of John Barrett Salon. “When your hair is wet, it extends at least 15 times more than when it is dry. You don’t want to weaken or break your hair.”

　　来自John Barrett沙龙的造型师凯丽·派克解释道：“不要在湿头时编发，因为湿发太重。当你头发是湿的时候，它的长度至少比干爽时拉长了15倍。你不想要让头发变得脆弱或是损坏你的头发吧。”

　　3.Add Texture³

　　增加头发质感

　　“When braiding hair, I always start by spraying both roots and the length of the hair with dry shampoo,” says celebrity hairstylist Brian Magallones of Exclusive Artists Management. “My favorite is Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk. Clean hair can be too sleek⁴ and slippery to braid, so the dry shampoo gives hair the perfect texture to work with.”

　　来自Exclusive Artists Management的名流发型师布莱恩·玛戈隆尼介绍说：“当我编发时，我总是会在发根和发丝上先喷点干洗香波。含有燕麦牛奶的Klorane干洗香波是我的最爱。干净的头发因为太顺太滑而不容易编，干洗香波则能给头发完美的编发质感。”

　　4.Refrain from Product Overload⁵

　　定型喷雾不要用得过多

　　“Don’t overdose on products because your hair will be too stiff,” says Pak. “When you have too much product, you can’t put your fingers through your hair—to French braid, for example—and it is harder to separate [each strand].”

　　派克提醒道：“不要过多使用定型水，因为那会让你的头发变僵。当你用得过多时，你就不能把手指插入头发中了，像是要编法式麻花辫的话，你会很难把头发分成几股。”

　　5.Jazz It Up

　　让你的头发活跃起来

　　“Use a fine-tooth comb to tease hair at the crown to add volume and grip,” says stylist and braid specialist Erika Arzate of EDEN by Eden Sassoon. “It makes the style look more elegant.”

　　EDEN（伊登·萨松为创始人）的造型师和编发专家艾瑞卡·阿扎特说：“用齿密的梳子从头顶后部梳头可以增加发量和发根的抓力。这样会让整体造型看上去更加优雅。”

　　6.Go Two-Stranded

　　编两股辫

　　“If a three-strand braid is too difficult, create a rope braid with two strands,” says Arzate. “Twist two sections, and then join them together by twisting in the opposite direction. Use a clear rubber band—they’re so fine and thin, they look like they’re almost not there.”

　　阿扎特还说：“要是你觉得三股辫太难了，那就尝试下编两股。挑起两股头发，将它们向各自的反方向交叉扭转，再用一根橡皮筋绑紧就好了。橡皮筋很细小，不容易被人看出。”

　　7.Tighten⁶ the Fishtail

　　收紧鱼尾辫

　　“Remember to keep the pieces you are taking from each side small,” says Dana Tizzio, stylist at Butterfly Studio Salon. “[And] keep the tension tight the entire time, or else it will loosen and you’ll have to start over.”

　　来自Butterfly Studio沙龙的造型师黛娜·提西欧表示：“记住你每次从旁边取一点发丝就够了，至始至终都紧绷鱼尾辫，不然它会松散，这样你就得重头再来。”

　　8.Structure First, Mess up Second

　　先塑形再蓬松

　　The secret to perfect the messy braid is to first create a perfectly⁷ structured braid. “You want to start with the braid more secure and clean, and once done, you can pull and stretch the braid as desired, pulling our random⁸ hairs, loosening and roughing up the texture a bit,” says Magallones.

　　要打造完美蓬松辫的秘诀是首先编个结构感十足的辫子。玛戈隆尼说道：“你先得让辫子更加牢固齐整，这步完成后，你就可以按照你想要的效果，把碎发拉得随意些，调整下头发的质感。”
