This is a great hairstyle for a special occasion like a wedding, an event, or even a dinner party.

Tools and materials:

Adding clip

1. Clip and braid

Take the top front section of your hair and pull it back. Secure it in place with a claw clip. 

Braiding hair

Gather all your hair and separate it into 3 sections to braid. Tie the end of the braid with a hair tie.

Flipping braid

2. Flip and tuck

Flip the braid upward, over the clip. 

Tucking end

Open a section of the hair and tuck in the end of the braid.


Tuck it into the top of the clip or secure it with a bobby pin and conceal it with hair.

Tugging hair

3. Tug and pin

Tug at the edges of the braid, pulling it over the clip.


Secure the hair in place over the clip with bobby pins. 

Pulling hair

Pull some delicate tendrils out to frame your face, and you’re all set.
