Mermaid Braid Tutorial

Supplies:

• Hairspray
• Comb
• Clips
• Curling iron (optional)
• Bobbypins (matching your hair color)
• Hair elastics
• Flower clip

1. Part your hair into three sections. Section number one a square parting just above your ear. Sections two and three, split evenly using a diagonal part.



2. Taking the first section (above your ear) completely braid it to the ends. Just using a normal braid technique.

3. Now the middle section you are going to do a normal French braid, all the way to the ends.

4. The third section you are going to wrap around the back and begin braiding on the side, doing a normal braid all the way to the ends. All your braids should be on the same side now.



5. The braid from the first section, we are going to wrap around in a circle. Pin in place everytime you make a turn.

6. Now we are going to join braids, two and three together. First take each braid and gently tug the two outside strands, this will make the braid appear fuller. Next, place the braids side-to-side and bobby pin the inside strands on each of the braids. This is why getting bobby pins that match your hair color is important, you don't want to see the bobby pins connecting the two braids.

7. Clip a flower into the middle of the circle made by braid number one. If you leave pieces out of your braids you can curl them at the end.
