Half Up Braided Hair for Casual, or Dressy, or even Wedding and Prom

In order to do this style, you need to be able to do a regular or french braid. Otherwise, it is very simple and elegant for shoulder length and longer hair. Your sides do need to be long enough. Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

  • 2 ponytail holder
  • comb
  • brush
  • claw clips (to keep other hair sections out of the way)

Instructions

    • 1

      Detangle hair. Part two sections on both sides of your hair to the back of your ears. Be somewhat picky about these two sections, since these will be your braids. Take the sectioned parts on both sides of your hair and temporarily clip to the side.

    • 2

      Pull the rest of your hair back and put in a low ponytail out of the way.

    • 3

      Take one of the clipped side sections out now and keep one out of the way.

    • 4

      Take the section and start a basic braid or a French braid. I'll have to write another article on how to do that.

    • 5

      Once you have braided about halfway down your head, put in a ponytail holder and let it go. Repeat step 4 on the other side.

    • 6

      Take both braids in your hands, take the ponytail holders out, and put a ponytail holder over the ending braid area. Adjust the placement on your head a bit by tightening or pulling the ponytail holder down. There you go. And enjoy-very pretty and elegant.

Tips & Warnings

  • I am still going to take hair style how-to pictures once my digital camera is set up again. The one I took above is actually a few years old.

  • Hopefully, it gives a good idea.
