Victorian Braided Up-do Hairstyle

Total Time: 20-25 minutes

Source: Based on a book I found at a garage sale.

Supplies:

• detangler or water, for wetting the hair
• brush
• rubberbands
• bobby-pins
• hairspray
• decorative hair pin optional

Steps:

1. Wet and brush hair. Wetting it will make your hair-do easier and lay better.

 
2. Make a simple pony tail.

3. Split the hair behind the rubberband with your fingers.

 
4. Push your thumb and pointer finger up from the bottom through the space you have made.

 
5. Push the ponytail upwards and grab with your fingers. Pull the ponytail down through the hole.

 

 
6. Now separate the ponytail into 3 equal sections.

7. Braid and put a rubberband around each section.

 
8. See the long end?

 
9. Twist it around the band at the end to tame it.

 
10. Keeping the twisted end pinched tightly between your fingers, insert it here.

 
11. Secure with a bobbypin and this is how it looks.

14. See?

16. Have fun!
