Learn to Braid with FP!
The latest edition of BLDG15 Threads is here!
Lately at Free People, we have been really into braids - you might have noticed them on many of our models!
In our latest BLDG15 Threads, we show you (with the help of our hairstylist) how to make three different types of braids - a knot braid, fishtail, and twist-rope braid!
Check out this video below, in which our hairstylist makes a fishtail braid on one of our models while showing us how! You can find a video for the knot braid on BLDG15 Threads, as well as step-by-step instructions and drawings for each braid. Be sure to have a look!
Just for fun, here are a few shots of some girls around the office today, sporting their braids!

I loved this blog! I actually took inspiration from the Free People website in the spring and started using the braids from the models in my own hair. I was thrilled to see the video and am excited to try the new knot braid. Thanks!

LOVE the braids, but what if you don't have someone with skilled hands to do the braids?

I braid my hair for the heat this summer. Its nice to do something different once in awhile. But, more than anything I could not help but notice the picture of the pink parasol in the background. So pretty!
