If that's movin' up, then i'm movin' out!

TANGLED!

This was the inspiration of my braid post!

Such a fun movie! If you haven't seen it yet, you have to!

Her hair is incredible. It's a hair blogger type of movie, especially if you adore music and cartoons. I love the flowers set in her hair. I'm hoping to do something like this sometime. When i do achieve such I will most likely use fake flowers, maybe that will be up sometime!

Someone's attempt to make their hair look like Rapunzel's.

WOW!

I'm impressed by this.

It looks as though she has french braided the two sides of her hair starting at the top and continuing it as a normal braid after about 3 to 5 inches of the french style. The middle section that was left over was split into three sections. Two very small normal braids and one large french braided section. She then braided the left right and middle large french braids together while loosely incorporating the two small braids with the right and left sections.

LIE!!!

Gals with layers cannot braid or french braid their hair.

Such gals with layers really can braid their hair! Braiding hair while wet or slightly damp works miracles!

Thank you PacSun for my sparkly black head band

How To:

Part hair as desired.

Start with bangs or side of head with more hair due to part side.

French braid diagonally back.

Upon reaching a bit above your ear begin to add sections from the side of your head you did not start braiding from.

Continue to braid diagonally down, not across once adding the other side.

Make sure to braid tightly on the original and looser on the opposite sections.

At the nape of your neck add those sections to the french braid loosely as well, resulting in swoopy hair leading to the hanging braid.

TIPS: If you have layers, braid your hair while it is still wet or slightly damp.

Other cute ideas: Use a ribbon on top of your hair tie at the end of your braid.

Stick jeweled pins in the braid at spots that are too loose or your layers are too short.

How to:

Take a section from one side and sweep it across your head to the other side.

Twist slightly at the end of the small section.

Secure with bobby pin.

Repeat 3 times until four sections swoop.

Have the second overlap the first and so on to hide the bobby pins.

Take the remaining hair and french braid it down to the bottom.

Secure with an elastic.

Preferably lightly spray the top crossing sections.

Let me know your unusual braiding styles and I'll post them!
