Braids, braids, everywhere braids!


Be inventive!
A limited front and back view

Perfectly simple in the front

As we progress to the back of the head, the pieces should be pulled back elegantly loose
Although you start with elegant swoops, the french braid should be tight from the get go!
Continue the braid diagonally across your head at about the middle, leaving room to curve the braid up to the origin underneath the first braid.
Once you have added all your locks to the french braid, curve it around and up to secure it closely underneath the first part of the braid.
Bobby pin to secure.
Follow with hair spray for any fly aways.

Some other ideas...
A piece of hair from around your face twisted to the back, secure. Then begin with a french braid that upon adding the third section of hair to complete the french braiding process, you twist it under instead of over like usual.

Cross about four to six sections over each other one at a time. Hide the bobby pins with the next piece of crossed hair, then french braid normally.

Thank you, McKenzie, for being a model for this style

A mess of twist and braids twisted together to stay.
Recreating this exact style would present a challenge!

Happy Braiding!
