While at work today, I wanted to pull my hair out of my face without doing my go-to ponytail, so instead I decided to do a Katniss-inspired French braid, which is definitely more interesting!
My version...
I took a small, inch-sized portion of my hair on the left side of my head and regular braided it once, starting the braid back above my ear.
Then I started French braided by gathering somewhat large portions of hair as I went along. I didn't want it to be too tight, so I braided it with just enough pull so that it would stay throughout the day.
When I got to the right side of my head it got a bit more complicated since I'd never done this type of braid before and there was a little bit of hair remaining, so I just gathered it all together and regular braided it a few times, and then used an elastic band to keep it in place.
And, surprisingly, it stayed for the rest of the day. It came a little but undone where it stopped being a French braid and turned into a regular braid, but I think it looks pretty good. I'm definitely doing to do this for class!

your hair looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I wore it like that today too!
Deletekatniss' braid is a dutch braid though, which is what makes it more of a focal point, pops out. i also find it easier to do a dutch braid. with the dutch braid instead of goin over to the middle, you go under. makes a much bigger statement! you should it again!
ReplyDeleteI know it's a Dutch braid, but I've just never liked the look of the Dutch braid personally, so I did a French-inspired one. Thanks for looking at my blog!
