There are so many designs you can do. You can make the braid curve, you can do zigzags... have fun and experiment with it!
Here is what we did today.
I did three braids slanting down and to the right on one side, then on the other side, did a few slanting the opposite direction, then switched back once i got to the back of her head. I left the very back out and curly. It only took about 45 minutes, and it was cute!
Ive posted a few other pics before that follow this idea:
Just have fun!
