For those of you who do not know, my twins, Brooklyn and Bailey, launched their YouTube channel three weeks ago! They have a handful of videos up that show a little more about their personalities and interests! If you like their channel and videos, please feel free to SUBSCRIBE!

Today, Brooklyn wanted to show all of you an easy hairstyles that she has been using lately.
I asked her if she wanted me to do the style on her, and she replied with a smile, “No, I can do it!” {That teenager independence, or twindependence, is already making its appearance!}
Brooklyn was still a little nervous to do this tutorial on her own, but keep in mind that she just turned 13 a few months ago. If you feel she did a great job, feel free to leave a comment below!
This “Nested” Braid uses a simple braid from the bang area, down the right side of the forehead, and then incorporated along with the middle strand of a simple side braid.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 small hair elastic, 1 hair band, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-4 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Begin with a deep part, allowing most of the hair to fall to one side of the head {middle parts will not look as good with this hairstyle}… Pick up a medium section of hair near the forehead on the front side of the hair, where the majority of the hair lies… Begin a simple three-stranded braid with this section {this is a great way to incorporate bangs to keep them out of your face}… After finishing the braid, secure the end of the braid with an elastic matching your hair color… Now swoop the rest of your hair loosely over to the right shoulder, and divide it into three strands to create a simple side braid… Add the original braid from the forehead into the middle strand of this side braid…. Once the small braid is added, make a simple side braid with all the remaining hair… After finishing the side braid, secure with a hair band (feel free to remove the small elastic from the original small braid, if it shows at the ends of hair}… Gently tug on the elbows of the braid to broaden it, and you are finished!Enjoy!
