Hi all!

I managed this braid the other day. Anyone got any idea what it is called?! I love it. I also wore it later in the day with just a ponytail on the side, when my hair was all wavy. No pics of that though!

Sorry for the many photos, I'm awful at taking one of the back of my head but really wanted to share this braid on here as I've never been able to post something I'm proud of before! :laugh:

That looks like the braid Katniss wore in The Hunger Games. Very pretty

Very cute :) I second the Katniss reference. However I think hers was a 5-strand braid? I never saw The Hunger Games though, so don't go by me.

Great job! Both on the actual braid, and getting a good photo :) (The second part can almost be harder than the first!)

It looks like a lace braid to me. You only added new strands on one side (not both)?

Thanks all! Yeah I just added from one side, spidermom. :)

It looks very cool! I'm rubbish at doing braids where you have to add in hair on myself, can just about manage it on DD though!

Looks like a diagonal French braid to me. Wasn't the Katniss braid a diagonal Dutch braid?

Looks like a lace dutch braid. If you crossed the middle strand over, that's a dutch.

Thanks. I'm usually rubbish, but when I relax into it and have nowhere to go and no pressure to do it, I can. Weird!


It's so cool!

Thank you! :)

I haven't seen the film, but I thought so!

I can't remember now, haha! It was about 4 days ago. I think I did? Not sure though!

Well done! I love the way your color looks. The way the red and brown are twisted together is very pretty.

Very cute, and the different colors accentuate the style.

It looks awesome! It's a Katniss-braid (that's what I call it anyway), I tried it a few weeks ago as well but my braid wasn't as long as yours! How did your hair grow so fast? :o (Sometimes I wish I hadn't cut it in an inverted bob, sigh)
Anyway, it looks awesome and I love the colour :D

Very pretty! I like how your colors mix in the braid.
