Braids Part 2: Lace Braids.

Braids Part 2: The Lace Braid

The Lace-Braid is the French-Braid 

one sided it looks like this.

In this picture it is very tight where I started

 and gets looser as it comes down into a

 pony-tail. This style is my favorite for my bangs.

Start with the normal 3 pieces,

braid down the first few crosses just normal 
and add hair to the strand of the braid
 that is "the top"then braid down until your back 
to "the top" and add hair to it 
again it won't be the same piece, it's not supposed to be.

Then finish it off ta-da!

I tried to make a video for this style, but... eh my sister isn't the greatest camera man. We'll work on that. :)

Braids Part 1: The Basic Braid.

Braids Part 1:

Basic-Braid.

I have decided to show how to do some

 of the most popular braids out there, 

starting with the basic braid.

I don't think a video is necessary braid 

because most people already

 know how BUT, I thought I would show 

you how my mom (HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!)

 taught this braid to me when I was 6.

She was teaching me how to braid

 because to make a friendship bracelet.

She said 3 friends were having 

their picture taken and were fighting

 about who went in the middle, and so they kept moving around so they could be in the middle.

And then pulling the pieces tight,

 my bracelet ended looking something like this:

There are tons of ways to use the basic braid

 not only as the grounds for French-Braiding 

but it is a good second-day style and is REALLY easy.

I like to use braids to dress-up other braids. 

And to use as head bands by hooking

 over my head with Bobby-Pins.
