Hair Styles: long braid

Hello friends,

A few days ago I braided my hair in a Dutch braid and left the end long, which is unusual for me. I like Dutch braids, they are simple and fun.
Thank you for following my blog! I hope you are having a wonderful week. Christmas is just a few days away <3

Hi everybody,

I saw this tutorial video today on Facebook, and loved it so much I tried it out myself. I had to adapt a little bit and braid over my shoulder. Since the outer strands gradually get thinner as the braid goes on, I would tie off sections and restart my braid with a new set of four strands. I love how this braid turned out, and will definitely want to do it again :-)

Here is the link to the video that Creative Ideas and Tutorials posted on Facebook.

Hello everybody,

In spite of the rainy morning, I was able to take some pictures underneath a beautiful autumn tree. Now to decide which picture to enter in Haartraum and Haselnussblond's "Autumn Rapunzel" contest on Instagram :-) In case you are wondering, this is a four-strand French braid.

Hi everyone,

I saw an idea for a new hairstyle on Instagram, combining lace braids and a French braid in a way I had not tried before. First, I sectioned off small sections of hair on each side of my head then I made the center French braid. Then I started with the left section of loose hair and lace braided it down to just above my ear. Then I stopped adding hair from that side, continued the braid without adding hair long enough to reach the right side where I continued lace braiding while adding hair from that side for a change. I criss-crossed back to the left side and finished gathering the rest of my loose hair, and finally crossed back to the right side once more and finished gathering all the loose hair on that side. I wove the smaller end of my lace braid through the end of my French braid, then folded my braid up to about waist length and clipped it in place with tiny hair clips. Hopefully pictures will explain much more clearly :-) All day long, wherever I went, people would randomly come up and tell me how much they loved this hairstyle~ so kind of them, and always a nice thing to hear!
