7 Strand Braid Video!

Here's the 7 strand braid video instructions we promised. Hopefully it makes sense. :) I found that the braid is easy to complete, but kind of hard to explain. Plus, I still have "video fright." I don't know why these silly hair videos make me so nervous, lol. I can feel my hands and voice start to shake every time I turn on the camera. Yes, it's really.....DUMB. What I wouldn't do for you guys though, geesh!

I'm hoping you'll be able to figure it out with our tutorial. Clear as mud? Let us know how it goes if you attempt it. And of course, we want to see pictures on our facebook page!

If you learn this seven strand braid, you should be able to make this type of braid with any amount of strands you want using this same technique! When the princess's hair was a little longer, I made an eleven strand braid on each side of her head one time for a wedding. (6 strands on one side of the braid and 5 on the other.) You can also make these woven flat braids into french braids by adding hair in when you weave the outside strand if you want to.

Good luck and can't wait to see your pictures!!

My oldest watched this with me and wants me to try it after her shower tonight! I'm excited to learn it and experiment with it too! Oh, and my youngest got her hair cut above the shoulders recently, so I will be posting shorter-length styles too!

Every time I come here, I'm filled with hair envy. No way can my dyslexic fingers do this stuff!

Frantic Holly said...

What an awesome video. I'm going to test it out with some family this weekend.

Tammy said...

I wish my my daughter was younger and had longer hair that she would have sat still long enough, and would have let me put ribbons and braids in her hair. Sigh...

Kathy said...

Makes me wish I had a girl. Where were you when I needed to learn how to do my own hair?

Tammy said...

I'm going to have to come back and watch in the morning, with my daughter.

The Shopping Mama said...

I can't wait until my daughter has longer hair so I can put some of your awesome tutorials to use.

This is a great tutorial - you did a great job explaining.

Anne said...

Tried it on my 2 and 5 yr old girls. It is so cute. It is much easier than it sounds. I agree with needing it really wet.

Angie said...

Your voice is shaking in the video, and it made me smile. I get so nervous in front of people too! Your instructions were clear and easy though! I will try this on my girls tonight. Thanks for all the stuff you put on here! We love to check and see what we can do for fun hair.

nice tutorial!

Carolyn said...

I am 12 years old and I LOVE your hairstyles! I do it on my little sisters all the time! It looked super cute when I did 2 on each side tied to the back for Church. It was really simple to do right after they took a shower too. We got tons of comments for this hairstyle. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for thinking of these amazing and beautiful hairstyles. When I get older, I want to make a hairstyle blog just like yours!

These videos should not make you nervous! You do great! How did you manage to do that! I have problems with anything beyond 3 strands.
