Angled French Braid and Waterfall Braid

Pin It
My oldest peep has been growing her hair out for a few years now and I have had so much fun fixing all different hair styles for her.  So wish I could french braid my own hair, I know I just need to start practicing and hopefully could figure it out, my hands get all confused when I try french braiding my hair.

Today for the second day of the new school year I tried the angled french braid.  I wasn't sure how it would work but with her hair being so long and all one length it was perfect for this style:

I started with spraying all her hair down with detangler spray and a wet brush.  This really helps when you are trying to pull the separate pieces apart and get a clean line of hair and she has LOTS of hair.

First attempt at the Waterfall Braid

I love this so much.  Reminds me of how little girls wore their hair in Victorian times. I will be doing this one again when it cools off, this is way to hot for a Summer look.  My goal for school is to keep her hair off her back during these last few super hot months..

Here is a link to a post from May 2011.  I did two french braids down the sides of her head and then braided them together into a large braid to finish.

FYI: I don't think I ever told ya'll (I can say that I live in the South) lol  My daughter and I got a sweet little feature on My Yellow Sandbox Blog.  The girl, Oh My, she is a hair genius and I have gotten so much inspiration from her 30 days of hair styles.  You have to check out her site!! LIKE NOW.......go!!
Here is the post that has our hair pictures in it:  Yep right Here....all the way down at the bottom.  Mine is the second on the top row and my DD is the second on the third row.
