Zig Zag Winding Lace Braid... Or Snake Braid!
This winding braid, or snake braid (as my daughter likes to call it) is inspired by a picture that was shared and requested on our facebook page. I have also seen variations of this style on Pinterest, Tumblr and.... around the web.
We used a dutch lace braiding technique this time. But, this style could also be made with a french lace braid if you prefer. If you want the braids to be more messy or soft looking (which is very popular right now) you could definitely loosen them up by using the technique shown at this link: Loosening A Braid
I think this style is very elegant and would be beautiful for a wedding, flower girl, Prom, church, or other special occasion.

And, just for fun..... here's a more practical variation of the style that would work for every day, or school days. I don't know about you, but when we leave "The Princess's" hair down for school, she usually comes home in a tangled mess. So, gathering the hair into a braid on the side would help to keep everything in place for a long day at school.
As you can see, we made a french lace braid across the front and then using the same technique shown in our video above, turned the braid back towards the other side. This time we brought in all of the remaining hair with each strand instead of leaving some hair hanging underneath the braid.
(These last two pictures above were actually taken quite awhile ago.) It's another one of those hairstyles we found on a card that we never posted. It's been fun digging these up!

Btw, we have another cute variation of this style recorded and will be uploading it soon, so keep an eye out for that! :)
