We actually did this hairdo around the same time we did our African American hairstyles experiment last spring. So, it's been sitting in our folder for awhile. It's basically the criss cross french braid hairstyle on it's side, in the front, headband style.Start by parting two headband sections like this....
Then, part those sections into 3 sections each. 6 total.
Starting in the right front section..... French braid up and over to the back middle section. Then, down to the front left section. (I used inside out french braids or "cornrows." Regular french braids would work as well.)
Next, french braid the remaining sections. Starting with the back right and going to the front middle and ending with the back left.
I ended this by banding together the braids above her ear and adding a cute clippie.
Hey, I just noticed she still has her baby teeth here! They are now long gone. sniff
A reminder: Don't forget about our 1,000,000th page view contest! The page views are slowly but surely creeping up there. I'm guessing maybe in another few weeks we'll have a winner? We will see!!

That is gorgeous!! I'll have to try that on a weekend when I have more time, it is really impressive looking.
I love this! It's like a cable in a knit sweater.
How cute! I love how simple that is :)
I love this one. What a great idea. I've found that hairdos like this one, get alot of questions and compliments.
Very pretty! I'd love to do that with cornrows for my girls.
This is amazing, I am really impressed.
Beautiful! I'll show that to my daughter Melody when I get my wireless issues at home resolved. I'm sure she'll want to try it. (Jessica's more of a ponytail-and-go kind of girl.)
Oh cool you finally did a version of the Criss Cross cornrows I did, even though you said you were way back in May lol I'm just kidding:)
Very pretty :)

Just found your blog!
WOW your hairstyles are CRAZY good, I am a Cosmetologist and I wish I could braid and twist as well as you do!
Awesome keep the great looks coming!
I did a similar hairdo on my little sister recently, except I started one braid on one side of her head, and one braid on the other side. So she ended up with a braid hanging on each side of her face.
Do you get it? Do you want to try it? <><
That one is awesome!! Love, Love, Love it!!!!
Now this one I can't do. I can't get my braids to do right. :(

I did this style on my dd. I kept the braids seperated and braided to the end. I really liked it and it stayed in well. ( She didn't have school the next day)
Hi! I just found your website, and this was the first style we chose to try. SO MUCH FUN!! She looked adorable. I can't wait to try out more!
