I for one, think that this makes a perfect Picture Day hairstyle! This fun braid uses much of the technique used in the Waterfall Braid, only instead of letting the hair strand drop through, you add it into the braid only from the top.
It essentially causes the braid ‘hang’ from the strands like it is suspended, giving it a lace-like look.
Lace braids are becoming a very fashionable look in 2011, made more mainstream by Michelle Money from (The Bachelor and Bachelor Pad). In fact, I noticed that she was wearing a variation of this lace braid once again during the filmed segment of last night’s Bachelor Pad finale.
This braid is cute on girls of all ages, and I have even done these on myself and they look gorgeous! Furthermore, they can be used in various unique hairstyle combinations {updo’s, messy buns, twists, ponytails, etc.} giving you so many different looks. I also find that this is another great style that helps keep your long bangs out of your face, without always using the French Front style you see everywhere today.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 clear elastic band, hairspray or accessory if desired. {For some, you may need to straighten your daughter’s hair beforehand to get the look you want. If you do so, please do use a good heat protectant first!}
Time Requirement: 2-3 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!
