double dutch: braids on my sister's classic and my knee-length hair

[Lunnafindel]

I love vacations. You can spend hours doing your hair, and if your family's around, you can spend even more hours doing theirs!
This is me and my sister:

On the right, I have 2 dutch braids woven into what I think is called a unicorn braid with the rest of my hair.
On the left, my sister has a single dutch braid spiraling down a ponytail. I didn't think it was possible on long hair, but it worked, and what's more, it stayed the whole day! (I've got to say tho, it's a heck of a lot easier on someone else than on myself!!)

And then, of course, we had to have fun with the pictures...

[ravenreed]

Oh how sweet! What a joy to have this experience together! The pictures are just precious.

[panffle]

Aah it's so beautiful! Great way to spend time :) Makes me wish my family was into long hair as much as I am.

[PetuniaBlossom]

Wow, that's some serious good hair genes in your family. Gorgeous hair, gorgeous styles.

[embee]

All I can say is wow.

[Adelynd]

Such beautiful hair and creative hairstyles. Lovely!

[SheaLynne]

So beautiful! I'll have to try those braids on dd with her mid-thigh hair. How fun to have family to share "hairtime" with!

[DancingQueen]

Those braids are just stunning! I love your mothers braid as well. I wish my hair was long and thick enough to make those updos look nice, unfortunately, I don't have any long haired family members to 'play' with. ;)

[Merlin]

Very, very, pretty!

[Ticky]

Very pretty indeed! I'm kind of in the same boat as DancingQueen, not really any family members with long hair that would be willing to let me do my magic. :D

[Mayihuan]

Wow, that's some serious good hair genes in your family. Gorgeous hair, gorgeous styles.What she said! :) Thank you for sharing, your post has made me all dreamy about possibilities, and makes me want to grow my hair long even more... :)

[MaryMarx]

I'm so jealous. :D

[butterfly_dream]

Lovely hair, lovely braids! You are blessed with a great hair genes! ;)

[spidermom]

Oh how pretty!

[gingerclip]

Such beautiful braids! I really wish I could share hair styling - like be able to do someone's hair for them and have them do mine - since I find it so much easier to do fun styles on someone else. Alas, my husband's hair is only an inch long and I don't think he knows how to braid. :)

[maborosi]

That is awesome! And fantastic braids! I tried googling it but I didn't really find much- does anyone know if there are other names for that braid? I wanna give it a try. :)

~maborosi~

~maborosi~

Which braid do you want to try? The one on the right is really easy - just 2 braids and one loose section braided together.
The one on the left is harder to do but still easy to explain (I haven't found instructions either) it's a lace braid (where you add hair only to the top side) with very small sections added each time as you spiral around a ponytail.
Oh look! I found a tutorial. http://youtu.be/cxo2A8SGYdY yay!



That looks super cool! Can i pin first photo on pinterest ?

yes, of course! and thanks for asking :)

[Maybe]

[dulce]

Wonderful to see the pic of the three of you with long hair!

[Ocelan]

All the hair in the photos is beautiful and the braids are very nicely done! Now I wish my other family members had longer than chin length hair, but they don't.

[tiny squirrel]
