Simple Pull-Through Side Braid Hoping to look totally put-together without knowing how to braid your mane? That's where pull-through braids come into play. To create the style, you'll need a comb and a handful of clear elastics. Start by combing your hair to get any and all knots out of the way.

Next, section off the top most layer of hair into a half-up pony and secure it with an elastic. Create another section just below it. Split the top section in half and secure the ends with an elastic underneath the second pony. Continue this process all the way to the ends. Once you complete the braid, gently pull it apart for a messier, perfectly-imperfect appeal.

While this can be done without product, Mandi Romine, the manager of Royal Caribbean International's To Dry For (aka the first blow-dry bar at sea, a new service exclusive to the cruise line) says you can achieve a smoother look that holds up not only against wind, but heat and humidity too, by using a leave-in primer before drying. We love Briogeo's Don't Despair, Repair Strength + Moisture Leave-In Mask, $28, for the job which pulls quadruple duty as a treatment, primer, protectant, and leave-in conditioner.
