We needed some variety in our braids today, so we tried a couple of different ones. I actually saw this idea on another fabulous hair blog......back in the day when I was avidly searching for new hairstyles to try out! I found this one on Girls Hairdos. In the meantime, please enjoy this one. We rather like it.
I parted her hair in the front on the side, and then down the middle in the back, like this. This helps keep the braids a little more even. Then I put her hair up in two high ponys. I did wet the ponys thoroughly and put a little Gen. Paul Mitchell gel in.
I split the hair into three even sections. I did a regular (backwards) braid on one section. Next I did a fish tail braid, stopping about a third of the way down, and put in an elastic (I was in a hurry!), and then put in another elastic another third of the way down, and finished fish tailing the last third of the braid.
For the last section, I did a twist braid. I have videos on how to do a twist braid and a fish tail braid, under my Video Tutorials.
I sprayed each braid topside and underside with hairspray, and stuck in some cute bows!!
Just a note: She got a lot of compliments this day when we were out and about!
