Pictorial instructions for fun braids!
Oct 13^th, 2009 at 12:39pm

When I learn a braid I really need to see how it's done, so I was scouring the internet, and here are some good ones I found.

Box & Fish bone braids:

Oh! Here's a good one too, with Fish bone, Knot, and Twist braids:

Great links Tara, thanks! On the French Rope, it looks like she's French braiding as usual, but twisting the strands as she goes so that it looks like a rope.

ooooh, I see! I didn't realize while I was at that site the first time, that it was also a book. Awesome! I need to get it now! Cheesy

Well the reason I was looking at braids is because I am going to a wedding this weekend and I want to do something new with my hair. It's going to be outside in the cold which my hair is not used to, so I can't wear it down, and I'm sick of the same old buns. Anyone have any ideas?

Also, has anyone ever done a rope braid on their hair when wet and then taken it down? I'm curious what it would look like, if it's wavy or curly or just crazy.

Hopefully I can get some new pics of my hair up soon >_<

*EDIT* This isn't a braid, but does anyone know how to do THIS?

Reply #9 - Oct 15^th, 2009 at 9:25am Think your hair might be able to handle this? http://www.dreamweaverbraiding.com/braids/Arwen.htm That site also has a lot of other great looking braids. I've always been partial to crown braids, myself.

Reply #11 - Nov 11^th, 2009 at 1:03pm This pic is blurry and small, but this is the rope braid! It's pretty easy and I think I love it! I apply a little bit of gel all over the outside once I'm finished and it really helps keep the fly-aways down. http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs080.snc3/14733_1195419562985_1153...
