Choose a starting point for the braid and split a square section into 3 separate strands with your fingers.  This braid starts on a deep side part but you could also start at one ear and braid all the way across for a more dramatic effect.

Braid your way around your face adding an even amount of hair with each pass but don't be to picky.  This is a casual, messy look so it's good to be a little irregular.

Don't let go of the braid or your hard work will unravel.  If you need to, secure the ends with a small hair tie before pinning it back

Lift the crown of your hair up and pin the braid underneath with 2 bobby pins.  Cross them over the braid and each other in opposite directions to create an "X".
