First divide hair into three sections. Braid each section so that you have a total of three braids.
Then braid the three braids together to make one big braid.
Wraped in a bun & secured with a hairstick
Here are some variations: First put hair in a ponytail (I put mine just above the middle of the back of my head). Then divide into three equal sections. Braid each section so that you have 3 individual braids. Now braid the 3 sections into 1 braid.
1st variation is just to loop the braid up to one side and secure (I used a hair scroo)
2nd variation is to wrap into a bun.
3rd variation - I looped around once as if to make a bun and then brought up the tail leaving a large loop (the size will depend on your length) and secured with a hair scroo. 1st pic is back view, 2nd is side view.
4th variation - This photo shows the 3 braids we made above with the ends looped up to the base of the ponytail and secured with a scrunchie.
5th variation - MY NEW FAVORITE! In this photo, I took the 3 individual braids and wrapped them into a simple bun and secured with a hairstick. 1st pic is back view with my baby on my shoulder, 2nd is side view, doesn't it look cool??
6th variation - Same as 4th exept I secured with a clip & fanned out the ends instead of hiding them underneath. 1st pic is back view, 2nd is side view.
7th variation - This is kind of a funky medieval looking style. Instead of looping all 3 braids, I looped two & secured with a clip & used the 3rd to wrap around my head to look like a crown and secured it with a hairstick, my daughter loved this!
I threw these together quickly or I would have used something that looked better than the clip to secure, but it was fastest for the pics. I hope you enjoy them, I sure had fun coming up with them and I am thrilled to have a new bun to do!
