Lace Braid

1. Section Off

Section off hair from the front of your head, towards the back of the top of your head. Put the remaining hair below that into a ponytail. If you have trouble doing this try clipping the top section of the hair so you have hands to tie the bottom half into a ponytail.

(The hair in the ponytail won't be used for the rest of the braiding process).

2. Braid

Brush your hair over to one side (the side towards you), exposing your ear. Starting behind the ear take three pieces of hair and braid once.

3. Add

Now add hair to the side closest to you forehead (almost as you would in a dutch/french braid, but you're only adding from the one side).

4. Follow Through

Continue braiding--either in a french or dutch braid pattern, the choice is up to you--across the top of your head (not right up on your hairline, this isn't a headband braid).

(The photo shows the braid starting at the top of the head, it is a different variation of the braid and is not the one being shown in this tutorial)

5. Braid Off

Once you reach the other side of your head braid off the remaining hair and tie with a hair tie. You can now take the bottom hair you tied back at the beginning out of it's ponytail.
