Double French Braid

 

 

Hola bloggers! I hope you guys all do well on finals J. The hairstyle I will be displaying today is the Double French Braid. It starts with three small sections near the crown of the head, which are then braided towards the nape of the neck, gradually adding more hair to each section as it crosses in from the side to the center of the braid structure. I read a technique that said “Taking showers before braiding your hair will help get a great beach wave look once you take out the braids” (Coefield 97). I used this technique on my sister. In the morning her hair came out in nice beach waves, and this also saved lots of time for her in the morning because all she had to do is take out her hair instead of straightening or curling it. This hairstyle is cute to wear as it is, but also a great hairstyle for beach waves. The book also said that if you grab big pieces into the braid it causes the braid to look fat and also if you incorporate different amounts of hair the braid might look uneven (Coefield 91). I took this into consideration and grabbed even, medium pieces and it made the braid look more elegant and put together.

Here are the steps to a double French braid:

1. Brush out hair
2. Gather hair at the top of head; divide into three sections
3. Begin braiding
4. Add hair to the section
5. Add hair to section from other side
6. Repeat adding hair and crossing section
7. Secure the braid at the end with a hair tie

This is how it turned out:

question: have you ever braided your hair at night then took out the braids in the morning? if so how did it turn out?
