There will be braids

Hey all!  Here's another hair style that I came up with. And knowing me, you know that there will be braids! :D


Ok, so you need a rat tail comb, small elastic hair ties, a hair tie, and bobby pins.


So, first thing first, just comb out your hair. Once it is smooth, comb it straight back and make a deep part leading from the arch of your eye brow back.  Then you are going to take a section about 3 inches back. Secure this for the moment, and pull the rest of your hair back into a high pony tail.


Then take the hair at the front and separate out a third and do a lace dutch braid all the way down. This means that you are braiding the outside pieces under and only adding hair on one side of the braid as you go. Braid this pulling it back towards the pony tail and secure when you reach the end of the hair. Separate out another third and repeat, and then do the same to the last section of hair.  

From the top

Once the front is braided you are going to separate the hair in the pony tail into fourths and braid each piece of hair all the way to the bottom. Once it is all braided you are going to do the tricky part and braid all four together in a four-stranded braid.  So, take the braid on one side and weave it under, over and under. Repeat with the next strand on the same side as the first. Keep going until the hair is at the end and secure. Then roll the hair up into a bun, and pin into place.

Hair from the back

Then you take the three front braids and braid back towards the bun that you just made. Braid all the way to the end and secure. Then wrap around the hair tie to hide it, and pin it back into place.  

Hair from the side

Voila! Elegant hair for a dinner out, date, or wedding.


Just let me know if you have any questions or need anything explained differently.
