Our beautiful friend Elanna Perchele has compiled an easy to follow video tutorial for these beautiful braid hairstyles. You can watch the video below or keep scrolling for text instructions:
Elanna is wearing her 180g Seamless Ombre Blonde Luxy Hair Extensions to help create more length and volume, however, these hairstyles are also achievable without the extensions.
The Twisted Fishtail Braid
In this hairstyle Elanna clips the extensions in vertically instead of horizontally in order to avoid the wefts being seen when you pull your hair back for the braid.
1. Take the pieces of your hair from both sides of your face and secure them in the back with a small clear elastic creating a mini ponytail.
2. Take the mini ponytail and flip it through the middle, creating a pretty twist.
3. Grab two sections of hair a bit lower than your twist and repeat the last two steps, creating another twist.
4. Create a fishtail braid with the end pieces of your twist ponytail and secure with another elastic.
The Half Braid
1. Take the whole top section of your hair and secure in place with a clear elastic.
2. OPTIONAL - take out some wispy pieces near the front of your face for a more effortless look.
3. Cover the elastic by taking a piece of hair in the ponytail and wrapping it around the elastic, securing it with a bobby pin.
4. With the remaining pieces of hair, create a regular three strand braid.
5. Secure with another elastic, and take a small piece of hair, and wrap it around the elastic to cover it up once again.
The Fake Side Braid
1. Create a side parting.
2. OPTIONAL - add your two clip wefts on the side with more hair so you can have longer strands to work with.
3. Take two sections of hair and secure with a clear elastic, and then flip it and pull through like so:
4. Just underneath that again, take two sections of hair and secure with an elastic, and flip it and pull through.
5. Repeat.
5. You can continue to do this technique all the way down, however Elanna wraps it up just by her ear.
The Side Dutch Band
