How to: woven braid

Helpful tutorials:
4 strand fishtail braid tutorial (the technique is slightly different from this braid, but it gives you an idea of the weave part)

You'll need:
One small elastic
A flower or a bow if desired

How to do this hairstyle?

1. If you want to recreate the braid exactly as in the photo: bring all the hair to one side. Of course you can also start this braid from a ponytail.
2. Now take a small strand of hair on the left side and keep this away from the rest of the hair.
3. Now divide the rest of the hair in 8 to 12 thin strands.
4. Take the first strand (the one you were keeping away from the rest) and bring this strand onder-over the other strand. You're alternating your moves: under strand 2, over strand 3, under strand 4 and so on. Make sure you end by going under the last strand.
5. Now take the strand on the right side that your left strand has lastly gone under. Bring this strand to the left side by weaving it through the hair the opposite way of the first strand: where the first strand went under, you now go over and where the first strand went over, you now go under. Make sure to end by going over.
6. Repeat step 4 with the last strand you crossed over on the left side.
7. Repeat step 5 with the last strand you went under on the right side.
8. Keep repeating this until you've reached the end of the hair. Finish off with a small elastic and a flower or a bow, if you like.

Good luck!
