Crossed and Wrapped Braids

If you haven't entered or checked out my giveaway going on yet...GO HERE NOW!!!

Before I start this post I realized my pictures were not the best. If anyone wants me to provide better instructions e-mail me or leave a comment saying so and I will re-create it with a better step-by-step. Sorry and I hope it makes enough sense:)

This was done the day after this hair-do. Which made this go by super fast because the braids were left in from yesterday's do. Go check it out to see how this Hair-do originated.

I started with these 9 braids. She slept in them so they are a little frizzier than I would like but I am not about to re-do them either.

Pull the braids out of the way and clip them together.

Take the remaining hair and put it in a side ponytail.

Un-clip the braids.

I had 9 braids because they were left over from yesterday. But, if I were doing this for the first day and didn't already have the braids in, I would have done 10 braids so it would be even.
Start with the braid in the middle and grab the braid next to it. Wrap them around each other.

Then I grabbed the braid on the other side and did the same thing.

Do this with all of the braids. The pieces on the right side I hooked into her ponytail with an elastic. The second to last section I put an elastic in to hold it's shape. When you get to the last braid on the left side you will need to tie the braids in a knot.

After you tie the braids in a knot add an elastic at the bottom of it to keep it's shape.

Take these last 2 sections and tie them together in a knot.Then hook them into the ponytail.

See how on the right side I also put an elastic in the last section to hold it's shape?

Then I put her hair in a messy type of bun. Then I added my hair thing and it was done. The instructions make this seem like an extremely long hair-do, but it took me under 10 minutes.

Before you check out today's hair-do make sure you check out my giveaway going on right now for some really adorable hair bows from Chic Clips!!!

This was a very simple hair style that doesn't take alot of know how to do. Not to mention tomorrow I will be posting Day-2 of this hair-do. Who doesn't love a hair-do that you can get 2 days out of?.............................Well I do anyways:)

First Start by parting the hair down behind her ear on both sides and pulling the rest into a ponytail.

Part out a section in the middle and pull out of the way.

Braid the remaining sections on both sides into 3 braids.

Next braid the 3 braids into 1 braid.

After you do this on both sides use the middle section to do the same thing.

Use all 3 braided braids and hook together in the back.

Cover the elastic with an accessory (this one is from All Things Ribbon) and curl the ends under.
