Long-lasting Side Braid Tutorial
Here is a great way to make a long-lasting side braid that will stay put all day!
It’s a simple technique that you can do quickly, so let’s get started.
Tools and materials:
- Hair elastics
1. Make a ponytail
Start with a simple half up ponytail where you want your braid to begin.
2. Flip your ponytail
Flip your ponytail through the hair elastic from the top, pulling through the bottom.
3. Keep flipping
Now, with your fingers, make a hole at the top of your ponytail, just above the hair elastic.
Take your hair from one side of your head, and pull it through that hole.
Repeat with the hair on the other side of your head.
Now it looks like this, and you can see the beginning of your braid.
3. Finish the braid
With the rest of your ponytail, simply make a traditional braid.
Use your fingers to gently loosen the braid.
Drop the braid over your shoulder and it looks like this!
