Hair du Jour Day 73: March 13, 2012
Double Mini Slide Braids
How to do it:
The secret is how easy this is to do. If you can braid YOU CAN DO THIS! I have faith in you.
At your part, select a section of hair that is 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide. Make a regular braid. When you finish braiding to the end separate the 3 pieces so you can distinguish between them. Holding the middle strand tightly with your left hand, gather the left and right strands together and pinch them down firmly on the middle strand. Slide the pieces up the length of the middle piece (while still holding the middle piece firmly in your left hand). You will start to see the braid buckle to the side and create a zig zaggy textured look. Secure the end with a tiny elastic and pin up with a bobby pin x. Make a second slide braid just behind it and pin this strategically next to the first to create a nice look.
Time to do it: About 5 minutes
So gorgeously Boho. I love this look. Stole it from Pinterest, figured out how to do it and added my own flair (2 braids). I'm getting pretty good!
