Happy 100th blog post!!!!!!! I know it's been slow lately, but today marks the one hundredth craft/hairstyle I've shared with you over the past few years! If I ever don't post and you miss me, there are 99 more to look at! Odds are, you weren't with us from the very first day, so you'll see something new!
Today, I'm sharing one of my favorite hairstyles as of right now. A diagonal French braid, pulled into a side low ponytail. I've redone it and worn it like three days in a row because I love it so much, but each time, it's a little different due to the way I cover my elastics. I have a blog post on a ton of ways to do that, so check it out here.
To start, part your hair on one side. I've never tried it in the middle, but it would probably look really weird because the diagonal would be off centered... Anyway, on the light side of your hair, (you part your hair on one side, and it's the side without the majority of the hair) you pick up a section right by the part line, divide it into three sections, and start French braiding. If you want a tutorial on that alone, let me know. Just take the right side and cross it over the middle, then the left side and cross it over the middle, then add hair to the right side and cross it over the middle, then add hair to the left side and cross it over the middle, etc.. If you're having trouble with that, I suggest you wait on the diagonal, and do it on the side, right against your hairline, so you can see it.
Braid it like a normal French braid, although make sure to start off pointing it straight back, then curve it over, rather than going down and around. Sometimes when I get to the front, I don't like how my front pieces of hair fall when they're in the braid, so I don't add them in, and just pull it over the braid as I put it all into one ponytail.
Enjoy this hairstyle! It's a classic one for me!
