Edwardian Twist
A two-strand lace braid along the front hair line. It is helpful, but not essential to first section out the front fair that will be incorporated into the Edwardian Twist. This helps prevent stray hairs from being pulled in the wrong direction. Create a part, often a deep side part, but it can be anywhere and then create the section all the way behind the ear in the direction the twist will run. Select a smaller section of hair closest to the part, divide in two. Put one section forward and the other over the first and back, creating an "x". Select the next small section of hair and add it to the forward section, cross forward section over and back to become the back section. Repeat, adding new sections with each cross over and back.
Once the ear is reached, the two strands from the twist can be turned into a rope braid and used as an accent, or left unbraided and incorporated into a bun along with the rest of the hair.
