Simply Regal: Tangled into a Wrapping Braid!

Today, I’m continuing with the princess hairstyles!

This one is inspired by Rapunzel, so get ready to be Tangled up into an awesome braid!

The one tip I have for this braid is to keep it tight and loosen it later. Tightness is needed to keep the braid in place.

Let’s get started!

1.     Begin with a deep side part. Pick up a small section of hair and begin a Dutch lace braid, pulling hair only from the hairline.

2.     Begin to turn to the braid towards the opposite side of the head. This time, add hair from the top of the scalp, near the other braid. Pull in hair from along the other hairline.

3.     Now, begin to turn the braid again. This time angle it down towards the other side of the head. Again, only pull in hair from the free hair that’s near the top of the braid.

4.     Angle the braid one last time. Angle it slightly towards the center of the hair. This time, collect hair from both sides of the braid so as to collect any loose hair that is left. Braid the rest of the hair and secure with a small, clear elastic.

5.     From there, I pulled some face framing pieces and then pulled on the edges of the braid to expand it and make the braid look more voluminous.

6.     This final step is optional, but I went for the full Rapunzel look, I added some fresh flowers into the braid. I used mums, a great fall flower. I took each flower, cut the stem to about an inch and length I tucked it into the braid. I placed the flowers randomly until I thought the hairstyle looked balanced. Balance is key.

And that’s it! Try not to hit anyone with a frying pan!

And don’t forget to see the light in the little things in life!
