3D headband braid

Headband braids (braids done close to the forehead) are always fun. They're good to keep the hair out of your face and they're always great to combine with other braids.

Like with almost all other braids you have a lot of options with headband braids. You could do a French braided headband braid, a Dutch braided headband braid (where you cross the strands under), a lace braided headband braid (where you only add in hair on one side), a twisted headband braid, a headband braid with 5 strands... or a 3D headband braid.

For the headband braid in the photo I've used the 3D round braid technique. For this braid you'll start with 4 strands. To make it easy, I'll call them (from the left to the right) A-B-C-D. First cross strand A under strand B and C and then twist it around strand C. Then cross strand D under strand C and B and then twist it around strand B. Now add some hair to strand A, cross the strand under B and C and twist it around C. Then add some hair to strand D, cross it under strand C and B and then twist it around B. Keep repeating this.

Good luck! Do you want to share photos of your 3D headband braid? Then post them on Instagram with #mvlhair or on the Facebook page of Miriam's Vlecht Lessen!
