And how to do them
I did do a search to see if something like this has already been posted, but I wasn't sure how to word my searches.. tried a few search combinations and didn't see any existing threads so I'm starting one :)
So this thread is for when you're playing around with your hair, or trying an already created style that goes conveniently wrong resulting in something cool :)
I'm not sure if this one exists already, but I was just playing around with my hair, trying to find a simple 'end protective' type style. It's a kind of french braid meets upside down gibson tuck and this is what it looks like:

(I have just done quite a heavy oil so excuse the slightly oily look of it, I really didn't expect to like this hairstyle enough to share it)
And this is how I did it:
I started with a French braid at the top front of my head and braided so that it would sit quite close to my scalp, as I started reaching the back (where you might put it into a 'half-up' type style) I gradually made the braid looser so that there was some space in-between my scalp and where the actual braid combines.
I braided all the way (still Frenching it) to the ends of my hair.
I then rolled the braid inwards and tucked it into the space that I'd made earlier and secured it with some wide bobby pins.
Super simple and I think quite elegant if done on not such an oily day
I'm sure somebody, somewhere must have done this before, but I haven't heard of it. So post your accidental hair discoveries here :)
